Default Updated tail lights

Hey everyone, does anyone know if the 05-06 tail lights would be compatible on my '00? My tail lights have always looked a little more dated than the rest of the car to me and really like the look of the later style tail lights.

they aren't a direct swap; they require some modification to the mounting points - someone will be along with a link shortly.
I can't remember if any welding is required, fairly sure something needs to get cut out though.

Thanks for the input! Hopefully it won't be too much of a hassle

a little more involved than just a cut as the plug will need to be rewired but here is the thread with all the data:
