Tail Light Swap wiring problem
 
The 1st Gen 03 Non S Tail Lights has no reverse light...reverse light is located in the middle of bumper and just one. The 1st Gen 06 S Tail Lights has the reverse lights on them at the bottom one on each side. So in interchanging the two...How do I wire the 06 S tail light reverse light to work ? Should I run a wire from the reverse light on the middle bumper of the 03 Non S to the 06 S Tail light reverse light ? The wiring plug of the 03 has 5 male prongs... and the wiring plug of an 06 has probably 6 male prongs ? I don't know...Any suggestion... please help

Kind of disappointed that nobody replied on this one in the last 4 years. I'm doing the same thing today - installing '06 tail lights in an '02 non-S so that I can put in a tow bar for a bike rack in the center backup light hole. Lights are on order and it looks like the connector housing is comparable but I'm not sure about the pinouts or if they are removable. Also not sure about the best way to route the wire to the two new in-housing reverse lights. How did yours go? Any tips or gotchas? Thanks!
