I do not like the new tails on the '07 Ram. I did a search and it sounds like the '06 lights are physically the same size as the '07, but the pigtail/harness is different?

So I am thinking of replacing the '07's with '06 units.

Will I just have to cut the plug from both units and splice the plug from the '07 onto the '06 lights?

I assume the wires are the same between the two years? Should be a simple (relatively!!) swap?

I am no expert and would really appreciate any feedback on this before I locate the parts and cut into the wires on my BRAND NEW truck!!

Anybody done this swap that can confirm my thinking?

Thanks for any info you may be able to share!!

i think someone tried to swap there 06 lights for 07 lights... i think, again, i THINK it worked out fine. like all of it was the same and simple to do. dont take my word for it. i read it on here before. hey, open it up and see what the deal is. it cant hurt! why not keep them 07 lights on?

 

should get LED taillights. i did and am very glad i chose so

 

I like the '07 tails. I think I remember reading that it was a lot of work to swap from '06 to '07 and vice versa. It might have been on another forum. If this wasn't the case, I'd just trade you for yours.

 

yeah i read it was actually quite a difficult task to do. Harnesses were different and wires were different or somthing like that. I guess i'd do a bit of research on it before starting in on it.

 

I didn't care for the 07 tails when I first saw them either, but I do like them in contrast to the Electric Blue paint on my ride. They have an "afterburner" look to them. I'll probably change them out when I get tired of them, but for now they're functional, have a decent Buck Rogers kinda rocket shape, and look good against my paint. I saw them on a few other colored Rams at the dealership and I didn't care for them so I know what you mean.

I'd like to go with something less 3 dimensional when I swap them out though. Anyone know a good site for replacement tail lights?

if you find a set you like check ebay for them before you order, they have them on ebay for about 1/3 the price

 

ahh whats with you guys, I love the new tail lights.

 

07 taillights = make Dodge look like Chevy.
