95 - 97 tail light difference

Im seriously considering tinting the amber/clear part of my 95 tail lights with the "nite shade" spray. I wanted red/clears but apparently it is a hassle to do, but not for 97's. I see the VISUAL differences in the 97 and 95 tail lights but i dont understand why we cant make our tail lights clear/reds as easily as 97's. I havent bothered to research the differences i just never fully understood why there was a huge difference. so thats my question WAHTS THE DIFFERENCE.
thanks

i dont know what you're talking about, but the orange lense inside the light of a 97-99 is seperate from the outer lense, whereas a 95-96 is just colored plastic to make the orange color- it is the outer lense. so you cant take it out. make more sense?

that's why the famous David L clears are so popular. they are cleared plastic with the bottom painted red to meet regs
