2008 tail light in 2004 prius

menardsy,

The 2004-2005 to/from 2006-2009 tail light switch is an easy plug-and-
play operation.

Here is a thread with pictures on how to remove/replace the Gen II
tail light assemblies:

FWIW, a couple of years ago I changed my '08 lenses to '06s.
I guess that there's no accounting for tastes.

Also, the Search Tool is your friend. Using "tail light replacement" as
the search term will generate a long list of threads on this topic on
Gen IIs for further reading.

 

That's interesting. Most people prefer the look of the 2004-2005 tail lights better.

 

I'm finding that the 06+ tail lights have brighter turn signals. That's why I'm considering it.
