My concern was the tail lamp code it kept pulling on the dash due to the amount of ohms it was sensing from the new LED's.....ppl say you can take it to an electronic/stereo place for them to add the right amount of ohm so the computer doesn't detect any issues. I on the other hand had an 04-06 ecu....which i just plugged in and used that. That solved all my problems. Hope that helped.....

Yeah, that helped. I appreciate the answer. I love your car my man! I am debating on selling my Tib and parting all the stuff out to dump into the LS. I just find my self wanting to go VIP and be hellaflush instead of hellaharsh track car like the Tib is set up.

Sorry swagga, I don't have anything to record it with. Plus it would be a long video.....lol. But I can say the same wire colors match.....so it was alot of splicing and soldering......as for pics. the wires are all taped up.......

Man that is soooo cool. Hmmmm... I might purchase an 01-03 LS and get the parts...I really dont like the 01-03 bubble eyes, the 04-06 look very aggressive. Stock LS still turn my head, no matter how many times I see them.Props

Hey i got a few questions. If i were to get a 04-06 trunk, would i have to get the 04-06 outer tail lights too? I know the inner taillights are different, but what about the outer tail lights? Also, does anyone know where i can go to get pics of how to remove the bumper?
