I was wrong. 2013 tail lights are plug in and play.

So I wanted to come on here and publicly apologize and say that I was wrong. The 2013 tail lights are in fact plug in and play. Somehow the lights I bought came with 6 pin connectors and I needed (or anyone looking to do the swap) needs the 10 pin connectors. Inpicked up a set of correct (10 pin) pigtails and everything ended up working as desired.

There you have it. I was wrong, most of you were right. Haha.

Glad it worked out for you! Where did you end up getting the connectors from?

The crooked lines would bother me but as long as your happy. Also, get rid of that damn dealer license plate bracket.

Can you post some close up picks? I don't really see the gap everyone said they would produce. Also, do you plan on installing reflectors on the lower portion on the bumper like the 2013's.
