Default Help with 04 tails

I just recently purchased a pair of the new silverado tails...(all red). I thought it would be easier to wire into my 99 GMC wiring harness...i was wrong. Im going back tommorow to grab the wiring harness off the 04 silverado at the wrecking yard....will that new harness just plug and play right into my old 99 gmc?

nope, theres 4 bulbs on the 03+s and 3 bulbs on 99-02 chevys/99-06 gmcs, you gotta buy the wiring harness for 03+

heres the tails w/harness's

15766535 Taillight assembly LH (2003 model)
15183559 Taillight assembly RH (2003 model)

or you can buy the tails on here or ebay or something and just buy the harness's from GM

2003 Silverado Taillight harnesses:
16531401 LH
16531402 RH
