Replacing 05+ tail lights with 02-04

[briggsy]

I have an '06 R50, but I've always liked the look of the pre-facelift OEM tail lights.

What exactly is required to switch the factory '06 tail lights with the '02-04 models? I have a fog light installed in the '02-04 reverse light position, and I would like to still have fog light functionality with the pre-facelift taillights. How do I reroute the wires for the fog and reverse lights?

Thanks,

The rear fog wire should run to the rear with the rest of the wiring bundle, should be easy enough to identify it. Then you'd need to add a length of wire (or simply clip the current fog and splice that into the reverse light.)

Not sure I've heard of anyone doing a 'reverse facelift', but it's just a matter of getting new tails (and the associated clipped wiring plug) and isolating the different wires.

Good call on the early style tail lights.

I've got a set of 02-04 tail lights if you need a set.

You won't have any back up lights. The pre-05's have the back up light in the center of the bumper where you have your fog light.
