Deminstionally, are they the same. For instance, if I wanted to move the reverse light to the taillights on my 02 could I just purchase an 05 taillight set?

TIA

Yes. I have the 02-04 lights in my 06. Including the reverse light in the bumper.

So you went the other way that I want to go.

May I ask why? Just looks, or is there an actual lighting advantage?

Looks only. I doubt if there is an advantage. Though with the way you want to go you can add the rear fog light where the reverse light was.

Another quick question, do the Ebay lights on there have the reverse light in them, or should that be 02-04, not 02-05? If not, where can I get an aftermarket option for the 05 lights? Tinted, redded, clear, or otherwise?
