04 and 05 style tail light compatibility?
I've seen this topic discussed numerous times before however I didn't see anyone mention that its very easy to install 05+ style tail lights on a 04 and older model C with no modification.
The 04 style bulb holders will fit into the 05 style lights if you remove one of the bottom bulbs. I did this and couldn't tell the difference from behind and I didn't get a bulb out error.
Does anyone know if its possible to do this but in reverse? Fit an 05+ with 04 lights by using the 05 bulb holders in the 04 style lights? I dont have the parts in front of me right now to try this swap...

yes that is the primary difference and that they are crystal rather than opaque..much nicer look..IMO
