Hmmm, I've got an 03 King Ranch. Since I haven't paid any attention to the XLs, I ASSUME (yup, there's that word again) that if the two lenses are the same dimensions, it would be a simple 'plug & play'.
I'll have to look closely at mine now.

yeah, its got the rectangle plastic plate, with a full glass bulb, vs, say the one that you have on your truck ! i mean, can i not just buy : the lens, bulbs, and then somehow rewire the connections to the other
