normally it comes with the housing. If you have the housings with no harness, I would just go to the dealer: $45 per side. You are going to have trouble finding it anywhere else.

buy your harness here: http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...=3&catalogid=2

buy your bulbs there too and have it all shipped at once, shouldnt be more than $32 shipped for everything

okay i just installed the tail lights tonight with success

drilled out the stud holes wider.... maybe it was a bit too big/wide! lol but it's holding on..
for future references people looking into doing it should definitely drill instead of FORCING it in. just make sure the drilled out holes aren't too big.

i'll post some pictures soon!

got some pictures up..

you can see how the tail lights don't line up (a good amount too). you can see why i mentioned, taking the bumper off first
i ended up just drilling the stud holes bigger/wider and pushed it in good and made it work!

sorry for the bad quality pictures

yikes. tails look good.

but, my key hole definitely lined up without a problem by neither removing the bumper nor drilling holes. I know a number of other forum members could say the same.
