Tail light swap

I have a 2003 Maxima and want to know how difficult it would be to switch tail lights to those of a 2000/2001 SE (black). A link to replacing tail lights would be great if it's more than just screwing on the lenses.

Sorry, but I could not get the search to work very well.

Very easy, actually I just did this with NoMotive. Remove the black hooks that hold the peice of **** cardboard to your car. Then remove the four screws holding the light in place. Take out your bulbs out. Then push really hard, I mean really hard from inside until it budges then start pulling them out. Some black tar like stuff are sealing the lights which makes it hard to pull the light out, Some people recommend using a heat gun but I dont think there is a need for one. They are exact fits so pop in your new lights and your set.
