Just wanted to check - before I start plotting. To change the tailights on my '06 to a set of taillights touted for 02-04 (some sets of clear taillights off ebay) is it really as easy as taking the old lights off and getting a pair of '04 bulb holders to add on. I read rednwhitecooper's tutorial on putting in 02-04 clear taillights on his (or her) '05 and it seemed really easy - too easy!!! just wanted to check before I buy. I changed to clear side indicators this week and I LOVE the way it looks - I am trying to make my cooper black/white only (well as close as I can get).
Thanks and everyone have a Happy new Year!

You need the following parts to complete the swap:
-Taillights(Clear, off ebay)
-Bulb holders for an 02-04 (PN 63216916395) you will need 2 (two) of them
-LED or Red Taillight bulbs.
And you will be good to go!

I put these on 2 months after delivery. The picture doesn't do it justice. They are the same lights featured on Motoringfile. The indicator blinks yellow but the lens is white. I think it goes better with the white CooperS side indicator than the all red stock lights. I prefer a yellow turn blinker for the safety factor.
