Well I guess that's another alternative.

The sockets on facelift tails won't take to bulbs from the earliest cars - the bulb is different. Pre-facelift tail bulb (P21/5) - Facelift tail(brake) bulb (P21) - BUT- there seems to be some variation - as I said, maybe up to four different setups! What bulbs are in there now and do they work, i.e. are the tails less than half the brightness of the brakes and when you stand on the bakes, what lights up? On my facelift, all rear bulbs are P21 - three each side. Top one is signal lamp, so we'll ignore that. The two red sections on each side are BOTH lit up as tails, using the 21w filaments but modulated by the LCM to be low output (~5w). When you hit the brakes, one on each side is modulated to full wattage (21w) by the LCM, the other on each side stays dim. Unless you hit the brakes hard/fast and/or the ABS is active, then all four lamps are modulated to full brightness (called force dependant brake lighting). I'm NOT saying what you have doesn't work - I'm just saying that it MAY not be a straight swap between pre and post facelift tails and you MAY have to change bulbs and/or re-wire stuff to make it work. Or you may not - depends on build date.
