Well, I don't know how it happend, but I came back to my truck after class today and there were a bunch of random scratches and a cracked right taillight. VERY FRUSTERATING. But, moving on. My question is, is there really a difference between the 00-01 taillights and the 02-03? Looked them up on XterraParts.com and they have seperate ones... I had planned to get them off of ebay since they are half the price there, but I don't want to buy something that may not work right...
Thanks

Physically, I doubt it. It's probably a wiring/electrical difference and since they're sold with the bulbs, sockets, and several inches of wiring with a connector on the end, I'll guess that's what differs. I'll bet you can remove the bulbs from the new one and attach your old ones to it.

Considering the styling changes on those years, I wouldn't do it without researching it more. Go into a parts shop and tell em you got an 01 lens for free but wanted to know if it will work before starting on it... They should be able to bring both of them out for comparison.

www.xterraparts.com refers to 2000-2001 tail lights seperately from 2002-2004. odd, i wonder what changed?

Anyone with a 2000-2001 that can post a pic? I can post a pic of the socket of a 2003...

I checked my dealer’s website and they show the same light for 00-03 and charge $104 for it.
