When you mean the corner lights, you mean the rear (outside) plug harness?

Thanks,

No problem. Let me know if you want pics of the inner lights too.

OK, let me check later to see if these are the same or not.

PS - I have a feeling the inner/trunk harness is different, because the backup lights are LEDs on the 16s vs. traditional bulbs on the 13 - 15.

The backup lights are not LED on a 2016. I just did an LED swap for the backup lights.

Good to know! Thanks again for all the information, really want to see if it's a direct plug n' swap, if it is, that'll be awesome.

No problem just let me know if they match. And I will provide you with the inner harness tomorrow in the daytime. Also if you'd like better pics for the outer harness let me know as well.

Does anyone have any pics or links to a 13 with 16 tail lights installed? Wondering if its a straight swap and how they look with the different chrome trunk molding.

Not yet. Best way I guess is, have someone with a 16 car meet up with someone with a 13 - 15 car. Do a direct swap on the spot to test and see........

Now you have to do the rear bumper cover, the new rear diffuser, and those sexy new polygonal exhaust tips.
