I did the swap. The trunk closes perfectly. The problem is that the bottom of the lenses protrude out farther than the factory tail lights, so the rear bumper cover doesn't fit back on properly. The corners won't close up all the way and there is a bit of a gap. So a bit of trimming will need to be done to the bumper cover where the 4 tabs are under the lights. Or indeed, replace with a 2019 number cover

The gap between the lenses doesn't bother me, but you can see a couple of those bumper mounting tabs that are now exposed

You can buy complete tail lights for 16-18 with 2019 style.
As for me, aftermarket one looks much better than original 2019, but still ugly convex style which ruin whole car design

I’ve been waiting months for those! Are they actually available now? I kept getting release dates being changed

Where can you get the 2019 style tail lights? I reached out to the company that made them and they said they’d be available from the retrofitsource.com, but that was late last year so I figured it just wasn’t going to happen at this point.

I think they redirect you to the shop because direct sale from the factory is not possible in US due to dealer policy.
No dealers in Russia, that is why i can get it directly, price was about 300 USD for set of lights, but shipping to me was about 250 USD.

Have you installed them yet? Could you post pics or a video of how they function?

No, i don't like convex design and preferred smoked stock style. But these were available for purchasing
