Looks like the 2005's only fit 2002-2006, sorry :thud: 2007 & 2008 are their own breed.

 

[wesley_87]

that is what some one else told me i thought i would ask you guy and is there a way to mod them to fit
thanks wes

Well, I think the problem is; at the top of the taillight, where it slants upward towards the tailgate, the slant is steeper on the 207-2008 models. So it would be more trouble than its worth for sure, i'm guessing you found a good deal on some '05's?

 

[wesley_87]

i have an 05 I wrecked the bed got a good deal on an 08 bed but dont like the tail lights so i wondered if i could put my lights in it

 

[wesley_87]

so if they wont fit is there a company who makes some type of aftermarket light

Well, since the '05 has less angle than the '08, i'm sure a welder could tack in a small piece and make it work, but that would probably only be an option if you have to repaint the bed anyway... But i'm guessing that the new bed matches your truck. I guess it depends on how much you don't like the '08 taillights...

Yeah, tons on eBay :thumbsup

eBay Motors: Recon Access - LED Tail Lights 2007 Dodge Ram, Clear (item 180167095692 end time Jul-02-08 17:04:00 PDT)

My bad, I guess I was looking at covers, these are the only ones I could find.

Any update on this? I have guy who sells beds for a living who swears my 2005 Dodge 2500 tail lights will fit on his new takeoff 2008 Dodge 2500 bed (he does state that the 1500's ARE different).

Anyone actually try this?

Thanks in advance.
