Should be a direct plug-in swap. No wiring modifications should be necessary.

Just take a look at the new lights and make sure the plug sockets look the same. You'll be able to tell by looking at the back of the original lights and comparing with the new aftermarket ones.

you will easily figure it out once you start doing it.

its very simple but harder to explain.
you wont have any problems. i was exactly the same as you but just had a go n was easy.

it will depend on the new taillights if it comes with globes already or you need to buy globes elsewhere, the taillight just comes out after unscrewing 3 bolts each side. then unplug the socket.

i found that with my aftermarket tailights they didnt work properly... if this happens. simply swap the bulbs with your old ones. but its such a simpl conversion. three bolts on each one. and its out
