Perfect working condition, and look brand new!

So, before I stupidly go through with this transaction, just wanted to make sure I'm educated. Am I able to do a straight swap with the tails from a newer 2011, or does the upgrade truly have to be a 'retrofit' kit?
(Yes, I know coding has to be done as well)
I did it. Took about 35 mins. The most time consuming part was removing the rear hatch panel to get to the inner rear lamps. There are vids on YouTube on that...
