if you get the wiring harnesses with them it is a simple replacement and plug-n-play on the harnesses. the 99-02 tails are a 3-bulb setup and the 03-06 are a 4-bulb setup, but if you get the harnesses it is just plug-n-play.

wiring is alittle different, 03+ tails have an extra bulb. some have used the stock wiring but i picked up a set that came with the harnesses.

You can make your own for like $15. Let me see if I can find the thread that explains how.

Here ya go....this is what I did. Works well. I didn't trim anything to get the older sockets to fit in the newer tail lights....just push hard and they'll pop in.

This Mod is well worht it. I have always had Silverado tail lamps on my GMC Sierra since the 3rd day I owned it. I bought the tails and the wiring harness so's that I could plug and go....otherwise you may have to whittle on your housings a bit for the connectors to go in right but...either way you decide to do it........it's well worth your time and money.
