Default 05 tail lights on a 07??

So i got these after market Tail lights for my 07 accord coupe and the tail lights are for a 05. can i just switch the hardware on my car so it fits with the taillights. Could not find much about the newer lights everything was on the older gens. Thanks guys!!!

bothe tail lights are for the accord coupe. Just the 03-05 had bulbs and no LED now thw 06-07 have the LED so the hook ups are diffrent.

i don't think they are compatible. i'm pretty sure the 07 has much bigger tail lights

no they fit. 03-07 hace the same housing. Just the 05 has bulbs and the 06 had LED so i was wondering if you could change the pig tails.

well if they fit than in theory yes, but i would imagine that since there now LED's and draw much less current than a traditinal bulb, that when you plug in your new "old" tail lights that there going to blow the fuse on that circuit. thats just my 2cents tho. try it

the 05 and 07 tails are slightly different... i believe the 05 tails have more of a curve near the trunk whereas the 07 leds are straight.. if anyone could post a picture that would be great.

ok Both of the 03-07 accord coupe tail lights are the same. just the electrical hookups are diffrent. the 03-05 just have bulbs and the 06-07 have LED. how do i convert a 05 tail lights electrical hook up to a 07 electrical hook up. sorry i did not make that clear b4. i just do not want to burn anything up.

oh, i gotcha.. i would stick to the oem LED tails on your '07.. looks so much cleaner IMO.. i would sell those aftermarket older tails and get some easy gas money.
