You dont need extra wiring. Its a direct bolt up.

(i bought mine from carson.... i dunno about others...)

The 98-00 and 01-05 taillights use different wiring harnesses. The 98-00 ones can be used but you will have to do some wire cutting/splicing. It is cleaner just to get the new wiring harness.

If you bought the lights from Carson (our CL vendor), the harness is included. I cannot vouch for other sources. If you get it from the dealer, make sure that the new harness comes with the tails. If not, you will need to buy them.

Just make sure that the 01+ tails you buy come with the harness. I would also recommend Carson if you are not sure about where to get them from. I think their price is about as good as you will find brand new
