    Hello,

    I would like to get a 2006 look with my prius 2004 by changing the tail light with a 2006-2008 assembly. Will this fit on the 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. :eek:
    I guess that there's no accounting for tastes. :p

    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.

    Well, you are right. I just asked my wife what she prefer between the 2004 and a 2008 and she said the 2004. I guess I`ll stay with the 2004 look for a while...
