I would like to put 97-99 outer tail lamps into a stock 95/96 rear end, with the stock 95/96 bumper/trunklid/inner lights. Will it work fine, other than it not matching the inner lamps?

Yup..........

yea it is just the trunk lights that will not match up, but on the outers, yes trheywill work

seen it on a maxima by me. It looks very odd, IMO don't do it.

A 95/96 guy wants to buy my outer tails and shave the inner tails on his 96.
