Lot's of careful cutting and more importantly grinding so if you don't have a grinder forget it, but I'd still recommend just getting a 97-99 trunk, as the trunk tails on our 95-96's end up being quite raised and there's a fair amount of caulking required ( too much IMO) to fill the dip section in our trunks, but hey there on.

 

Nah they're stock

 

The Gen ll's fit very nicely on the '97-'99 trunk.
Actually I don't mind seeing the amber bulbs when they're not lit up. Now if there's a bulb thats not visually amber until they light up then I'd go for them! When I hit the auto lock button on the key fob I really like how much brighter the ambers are than they were in the red/clears.

 

those Gen IIs are nice even if they are altezzas. its the LEDs that make em tight, everything else... eh, so-so

 

[QUOTE=MAXRB8]Lot's of tedious cutting.Checking fitment, cut again etc etc.QUOTE]

any estimation on how much you had to cut. What did you use to cut and did you put any treatment on the areas that were trimmed?

 

I've been getting a lot of PM's on how to do this, unfortunately I didn't take the time to take pics, but here's some stuff to consider:

As far as doing it, was a lot of CAREFUL grinder work, you reeeally need a grinder, some cutting, and some welded support brackets, I wouldn't recommend it unless somehow you could recess it, but interesting project. What I didn't like is how on the parts facing towards the center of the trunk, I had to build out with sealer which up close looks thick, I'm sure the average guy would never notice, but you know how it is when you do something yourself you see all the flaws, with a 97 trunk the lights sit in recessed, but beggars can't be choosers, wrecker parts up here in BC Canada are very rare. The more I look at it the more I’m willing to live with it, I’m pretty picky but I’m glad to say there are no leaks. I also had to convert the 1156 back up lights to what 97’s use which is a #921 bulb, I found a generic #164 socket that I made fit the 921 bulbs fit in 164 sockets) until I can get to a wrecker to get the proper plug in. You will also have to reallign the trunk, which is easy by loosing the for bolts on the hinges two each side. I found this out the hardway and consequently chipped the end of one of the lights. Hope this helps and good luck. I gotta say I love the lights

 

I AGREE WHOLE-HEARTEDLY!!! red/clears look completely stock to me... and IMO i dont wanna look like every other car on the road. I love the gen II's.

 

im getting driftmax altezzas
