Tailgate swap, SW to dually tailgate

Just curious if anyone knows if you can swap a SW tailgate out with a dually tailgate in order to get the extra dually lights. Would the dually tailgate lights be plug and play with the SW wiring?

The tailgates are the same with the exception of the lights. I don't know if there is a plug for the lights. If not just wire them into the tail light circuit. I used the LED lights on mine and they look great.

We're you able to just change out the original bulbs with LED light?

SW box does not have the provision for tailgate lights, so you would need to tie into the taillight wiring.

They make the LED light that is the whole thing. LED lens and socket. A few bucks each.
