eBay of course! Nah, no difference really, just a bit to the design. So they aren't a "perfect" fit/replacement.

Only difference is the brake and turn signal on 00-05 light up on top

06-07 brake and turn signal light up on bottom, dont know if that would matter with the wiring of those.

That's funny they attached the load resistor right to the back of the tail light. That sona bitch gets hot.

I'm not a fan of aftermarket lights, but these look like they'd fit your car very well.

I'm not a fan of the red on the sides. I like all black much better. I had black led's on my black 02MCSS and they looked amazing. Tails are still for sale in the classifieds

looks good but those are for the older ss cars and i havent seen anyone run an 06-07 with 05-00 lights. so im wondering what the fit is like. i know that it fits good in the other direction.

Any 06-07 Monte with LED tail light are running tails designed for the older model. So these should work fine. There will be a lil gap by the bumper though, I believe.

I think they were sold though. Dang it!

really i thought that the 2 different gens had 2 different part number. and the gap i believe happens when you run our tail lights on an older model. cause our lights are flat on the bottom and the older ones are rounded. thats why i never invested in those leds i was always worried they wouldnt fit perfectly and then id be stock reselling them.

Here's a picture of a set of LED tail lights on an 06-07. They fit.




They're not perfect, but I bet no body would ever notice it.

i dont think you get what i mean. i know they fit but theres two different model numbers for 00-05 and one for 06-07. it could just be because of the turn signals or it might be for the fit. the ones you originally posted ive only seen listed for 00-05 so im wondering what the fit is like on them.

The 00-05 MC have the turn signal light up on top and the brake light up on bottom
06 and 07 the turn signal and brake are both on the bottom. The top lights are just running lights. You might be able to mod it though.

If you look at those leds on that MC to me it looks like it doesn't fit right. There is a gap at the bottom on the right and left side of the light.

Might not be a big deal but little **** like that annoys me.
