Default MY06 DIY styling upgrade to MY07?

Hi guys,

Is it possible to do a straight swap of
  • rear light cluster
  • rear bumper

from a MY2003-06 to get the rear end look of the MY2007?

A quick visual inspection shows that the overall dimensions appear the same but I am wondering about the various connections and clips etc?

The new lights will physically fit, but the wiring harness is different and the bulb holders are different, so there is some electrical work to do for this. The rear bumper should be plug and play.

Perhaps someone with access to a WDS system can offer us part numbers for the new harnesses behind each lamp
