Getting some Tail lights to my -02. Can I have 05-06 tail lights?

Hello camrylovers. This is my first thread and post! I just got my own camry few days ago and there is somethings i want to do with it!
First of i want to change my tail lights. I looked up the 05-06s models and thats som really nice tail lights! But in every onlineshop it says the tail lights just fit the 05-06s models. But I cant see any diffrent at 02-04 and 05-06.

Would 05-06 tail lights fit a 02-04 camry?

P.S I have a japanese built camry.
THX!

They should fit but you might have to make some adjustments

the 05/06 are

turn signal
brake / parking light
reverse light

I think the 02/04 do not have a seperate parking light like the 05/06 had,
edit: i was wrong the 02/04 was

parking light
turn signal / reverse
brake light

As far as I know the only difference is that Japanese have the tie down covers and American ones don't. Everything else is the same.

I think you will want the light harness that goes with the housings. The lights are in different places and they may have changed the socket sizes. You can get the housings first and see if you can rearrange your existing harnesses to fit, but be prepared to have to spring for the wiring, too.

I think i go for this:
http://www.am-autoparts.com/AM/Tail-...-/AM-28980862/

"Brand NEW fitting for the following years and models:
2005 2006 Toyota Camry SE" Still makes me wonder.

Get the 05-06 SE's they're way nicer...BUT you do have to change the wiring harness. Otherwise they're direct bolt on.

And it doesn't matter if it's US or JP built. They'll fit. Mine is JP built as well and i have used US parts on it.
