they should mount in the same area.
but note they are different. and the area would be HARD to transplant becasue the 96-99 amber sections does not go all the way to the end

I might need to investigate the clearance issue with the trunk for the whole tail light swap though.
Anyone else have exact measurements comparing the two to know for sure?

Maybe the bottom part could be used as the transplant part? I'm throwing out crazy ideas I know, I'm just trying to brainstorm any possibilities regardless.

Want to do a conversion on yours to the 92-95 style?!

Sorry for dragging it on. I just wanted to be sure we're understanding what each other means.

if you COULD swap the outer section..that would fix our problem since the turn signal is located there right?
