Question ? about tail light

Can the '06 and newer Explorer tail lights fit an '03? I really like the look of the newer ones and would like to replace the not so good looking ones that mine came with. I'd figure going to the local junk yard and finding some would be cheaper than purchasing aftermarkets.

Just go to a Ford parts website and look up both applications and see if the part numbers are the same. You can also try calling a junk yard since they have cross reference books.

The backup lens position is different from Gen III to Gen IV, so the part numbers are gonna be different. The overall shapes LOOK the same............
