Recent taillights on pre-facelift models w209

Hello everybody !

As a new happy owner of a CLK 55 AMG in France, I'm also a new user of this forum!

I have a question about the taillights of the pre-facelift w209 CLK's.
I don't really like the look of 1st gen lights, so I want to replace them by post facelift models.
I read on other threads that there were tutorials about this mod but couldn't find them.

What are the main problems for this operation ? Is it plug and play ?

Thank you for your answers !
