95-97 taillight conversion to 98+

[regulator]

Is there anyway to put a set of 98+ taillights on my ride or what? its a '95 Eddie Bauer...Let me know if anyone has pulled it off.

The 98+ lights have different edges than the 95-97 ones. I think someone did do the conversion, but only after they switched to a 98+ tailgate. What I do know is there'd be some cutting and bondo involved!

I didnt want to hear that.... but thanks for the heads up.....

why do you want to change to 98-01 tail lights?

 

[regulator]

good question

1) bc you can find altezzas alot easier...
2) so my '95 looks new....
that is the only change that they have made from 95 until 2001. ( I know there are some slight changes....but only a true explorer fan can point them out all the time.

Altezzas for all year explorers should be coming out soon. Someone posted about it

yeah, 91-97 altezza style tails will be out by early summer. but not the carbon fiber. they'll just be the ugly chrome look altezza tails
