Well the outers are going to be different too, strictly to the fact that they are LED where the 01-03 are not.

I on the other hand had an 04-06 ecu....which i just plugged in and used that. That solved all my problems. Hope that helped.....
So you swapped the main ECU from 04-06 or is there a separate ECU just for the tail lights?

Do you have the part # by chance. Also was the hood liner and trunk lid liner the same for the 01-03 as that 04-06?

Great looking car and a great looking conversion! I'm enjoying my '04 LS430 for about 5 months now. What a great car. All i've done so far is add a couple of small wings to the trunk lid and rear window and a wind deflector for the sunroof. Gonna have a pin stripe painted on the sides in silver to match the wheels.

Default Nice!

Hey junjdm I'm trying to find led tails for my 01-03 430ul but from this thread if I'm reading this correctly, I could change the stock trunk with a 04-06 trunk and buy the 04-06 tail lights and the line up with the stock bumper should line up? Please and thanks for the help

Bump, no answers on the rear? Could I change the 02 trunk lid to the 04-06 trunk lid and change the tails to the 04-06 tail lights? Will the fitment be good? Or will it be off or gaps and what not.
