Yes, with modification I believe. That's on here somewhere, or on tlcfaq, I forget where I saw that.
I stand corrected.
(Don't shoot me down again)
I believe that they're LEDs instead of the incandescente which come with the earlier tails
Unless I'm thinking of a different style taillight...

Brake/Taillight illumination is LEDs, turn signal and reverse lights are incandescent.
WOO! Finally got it right...

It looks cool but those lights are a big pile of cash.
I wouldn't bother, I know guys have done it before but I would start to question quality. Unless you just really LOVE the look of the updated tail lights I would put the cash somewhere more useful
I have them and no one was knew the difference except for 2000uzj

You could check out my, and 2000UZJ's trucks. I know we both, and I'm sure others too, have HID retrofits as well as the stock tail lights. What I've found is that it's really only the cruiser guys notice the difference between tail lights, and I just don't find it worth the money. I personally kinda like the older look, but not too old, of the 2000 tails.
That being said, I look forward to seeing how yours turn out! Update us when they come in!
My stock tail lights had tons of cracks in them and leaked badly.
I've been extremely happy with my front end update. The newer 2007 headlights and grille really updated the truck and I've gotten many compliments since my update. After breaking 200K miles, getting a recent rejected inspection due to a broken OEM 99 headlight (broken mounting tabs) and marker lights were in poor condition so I decided updating the front end wouldn't cost much more than buying all new "old style" parts. I also decided I didn't want to mess with projectors and modifying the old lights as I already have a 30" LED bar and other AUX lighting which is plenty bright even on the trails at night. The improved reflector design of the 2007 lights with good bulbs is way better than my old 99 lights so I'm very happy. I have lots of pics and info on my front end update so hopefully I will do a write up when time permits.

This is uncanny timing - I was literally just about to post a thread asking those who did the 06+ front conversion how the light output was compared to the old style. I am right about to pull the trigger on the parts to upgrade the front end on my 98, and you answered my question. I was wondering if the upgraded headlight design was significantly better for light output to the point that a projector and HID retrofit was not necessary. I was figuring the cost to upgrade to HIDs wasn't that significantly less than updating the whole front end to the new pieces. So you would say you're very happy you did the update?
