08 tailgate handle w/ camera to 05???

So I have been scouring these boards for this answer and havent found it yet. Will the tailgate handle w/ camera from an 08 fit on an 05? This is the set up I want for my camera as the angle and view of everything is better than being on the license plate or anything else. All help is appreciated!

Thanks, it seems like I might just work....my next question....where can I find a BLACK tailgate handle w/ the camera other then OEM??? All I can find is chrome ones all over the net. The chrome ones sell for $26 and I would love to buy one that cheap instead of forking over $225 for the OEM handle and camera!

You're pretty much stuck with paying the $62 for the handle, but you can find a cheap camera on ebay

I haven't personally done the mod yet, but my Nav system has a reverse-camera input so I have been doing research on it. From what I did read, you have to trim a little metal inside the tailgate but it's nothing that can't be done with a dremel and patience.

I installed a 08 handle yes in to my 05. I bought a ebay camera for $ 24 and wired it to my Clarion flip out screen.

Did you have to do any modifications to get the handle and/or camera to fit?
