will 97 tail lights fit a 99

[JayDub]

I wanna buy some Diamond crystal clear tail lights (they look stock, not altezzas) to match my headlights I have coming from Ebay, but all I can find are 95-97 tails. Will they fit my 99?

Its been covered before, no without extensive body work and a new hatch.

no

95-97 are interchangeable
98-01 (except '01 Sport) are interchangeable.

You can make a '97 "fit" a '99, but it looks like CRAP. The tailgate shapes and taillight shapes are different. There are many threads on this, some with pics.

Yup.. Just for fun once, me & monmix swapped taillights in a parking lot.. It looked goofy as ****.
