Anyone know if '05 to '08 taillights will fit a 986?

Does anyone happen to know if '05-'08 taillights will happen to fit a 986? Have a 1999 that I wouldn't mind taking the first step down the slippery slope of de-ambering. (Next thing I know they're...

Thanks for the quick response.

A little research shows that there are 5 pins on the MAF connector - is Pin III labeled as such?

RMS was one of my first thoughts

That was one of my first thoughts, but I believe that it would be leaking between the cases (i.e. down the back of the engine) if that were the case. (Please correct me if I'm wrong.) Doesn't...
