The wireharness fits fine. Just take out the clips and loosen like 3 bolts. It's plug n play. Very easy

Those tail lights should come with a harness. I installed mine without tapping into any wires. I just used the harness that is provided. Simple plug and play.

yes theres a little wire harness that comes with it, u plug the oem plug into the small wire harness. Direct plug in. The led lights stands out really well especially when there are so many ISX50 out there.

yeah these are supposed to be plug and play but the plug doesnt fit, they are the same size so one doesnt fit into the other

I thought the LEDs were not added until the 2009 model year.
