Default Change 2006 to LED 2010 Taillights??

I have a 2006 IS350 and my friend is selling his 2010 IS. If we swaped tailights (so that I can get the LED tails) are they just plug and play or will I need to do anything to the harness to make the '10s work?

use the harness that goes with the tail lights. meaning use the 06 tails and harness to the 10 and vice versa

Will there be cutting/splicing? If so, I'm not going to mess with it. Don't want to hack up both cars.

in terms of wiring, it is plug and play. but on the trunk part, you'll have to bend something. you'll see it once you start installing the trunk piece. just bend that part, dont worry that thing is not visible.

This. You can also cut that little tab that's in the way.

Perfect! Thanks fellas! Now all I have to do is convince him to swap!

Guess I'll need a sixer of Shiner to sweeten the deal.
