    GL with your trade, not many people would be interested in making their ride look like an older model year.

    Or even more so: no one cares maybe no one way or the other, tail lights is tail lights? (n)

    For reference, here's both, 2011 on left, 2012 on right, cadged from brochures:

    Yup. But you never know. I like the older ones better than the newer ones by a lot... but I already have the old ones.:)

    Did you find any takers? I was just about to post to see if anybody wanted to make this trade. I just traded in my 2010 for a 2012 and I've never liked the later taillights :sick: I'll be your huckleberry!

    I was gonna say.... it's not actually realistic unless the trader is in the L.A. area... so that would be you JC91006 (y) If 91006 is your zip, I'll be out that way on the 4th. We'll need to confirm that the lights are otherwise identical i.e. mounting and wire harness... if so, I'm game.

    It's the same, just put in the bulbs, no harness.

    I'm in LA quite often if you want to do it sooner, July 4th I might be away.

    Please discuss through PM

    I have 2014 lights in excellent shape. Can you post picts of yours here? Also, is it a direct swap?
    Thanks,
    Dan

    Check for the saggy butt syndrome after swap. Swap mine with aftermarkets and dealt with the syndrome since then.
