Default Will 07-08 tails, fit on 13'?

I have a 13' is250 f -sport.. These are my tail lights





These are the ones I am wanting to put on...





I absolutely hate the odd shape of the reverse lights on my car and want to swap them out for the ones above. Everytime I see them listed, they are listed as 06 07 and 08. Will I also need a different wiring harness? Or possibly drill a hole, or remove a tab on the new tails?

On my old eclipse I bought 03 tails, my car was an 02, and It came with an extra tab on it that I either had to cut off, or drill a new hole into my car, for them to fit. As well as the pigtails/wiring needed to be swapped too.

Looking at buying some soon, so some help ASAP would be great.

I believe you just need the harness. The outer taillights on that 350 are off an IS-F. Only the F had a clear turn signal on the taillights while 06-08 250/350's had orange.

Makes sense that the outers are off of an IS-F. That would explain me never seeing them on ebay when I search for is250 lol. I found a pair on craigslist that comes with the pigtails on the back. Going to text the guy tomorrow!

Well, I guess I'm the opposite of the OP. The answer is yes they will fit, and yes you will need the harnesses. I swapped the later (smoked) taillights onto my '08 ISF. I luv the look. I do not like the look of the ISF stockers. The wire colors however are the same, but the harness (connector plugs) are different.

trading wouldnt really do any good considering i'll still need the pigtails off the back lol.

But I did buy the inner tails off of craigslist. Still deciding on whether or not to spend the money on the clear IS-F outers, or just get the orange outers.




ALSO, no1 ever seemed to mention that the fitment of the 07 inner tails, didnt quite line up to the 13' outers. Looks great from behind the car, everything still flows together. But from the side, you clearly see something is different. But no1 will notice unless they are a car guy.
