Its plug and play. You can also run LEDs on the turn signal and reverse without showing a dashlight, I am

If the 01+ tails you've sourced come with wire harness, then yes its plug and play. If it doesnt and you have to use the set on your car, you'll need to do some cutting and splicing. You can do a little search on that topic, there are plenty of threads with that info.

As for LED's for you turn signal, you'll have to get an LED turn signal relay or put load resistors on each turn signal you choose to use LED's on.

Negatory, use the '01+ harness on the '01+ taillights. That harness will plug into your car (2000) without any issues.
