I am assuming just an error in the listings, but I wanted to double check.
There's definitely an error in the ads. A couple of reasons come to mind: (1) 2004-2006 have a different plug harness than the pre-facelift models. (2) 2004-2006 have adaptive tailights, which turns brighter during a panic stop...something from this circuitry that causes LED bulbs to flicker.

These are the reasons why I haven't done the upgrade.

Maybe they developed a new one

Not really..

I asked if the led turn signal where bulb that could be replaced, and he answered: quote "the LED can not be replace "

Dodgy answer, but it sounds like its integrated lights..

Odd. Hopefully I can get them to work on the 06, otherwise someone on here will be getting a good deal.

7507 (orange) or 7506 (clear) depending on what bulb you have now

Well, i have white turn signals, so i guess the bulb is white..

But what is the socket for the turn signal on the on the Sonar led lights.?

I guess thats what i need to use if i buy the new lights.

If you have orange corners on your lights then your bulb is clear, if you have clear corners on your lights then your bulb is orange. the socket for the turn signal on the sonar LED taillights is the same as the OEM ones.
