Default 2006 Victory Edition tail lights on my 1997 XK8?

Are these a direct replacement or will I have to do some cutting to make them work?

You'll have to cut and do some wiring changes. Lots of information on this in the forum...I encourage you to use the search function.

Let me give you some information you won't find on other threads. A dremel tool with a carbon disk blade will come in handy. And the jb welds two part epoxy clay will also. It dries hard as steel.

Oh I use it but when I do actually find a thread that comes close to my question and post, more than not, it's an old thread and I don't get any response or useful info because most of the followers of said thread have moved on.
On the other hand, I've found answers to a lot of questions and never had to post anything.
