Swapping tail lights...

I have a chance to buy some 99' tail lights for my 97'. I am just wondering if the swap was a direct one, or do you have to get a new harness and re-wire the lights?
Thanks

Which lights... early 99, or 99.5?

If it's the 99.5 and newer:

Here's the link showing what I did...

if it's the earlier 99 tail lights, it should be a direct swap.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a4/msgs/901153.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/a4/msgs/901153.phtml</a</li></ul>
