Red Clears on 97-99 Question

i want to get red clears for the 97-99. the thing is that i want my inner and outer tails to both match (hence why i am even bothering with a 97-99 conversion) if i buy just the outer ones or the DIY mod with oem lights, they will not completely match.. right? im pretty sure there will be a difference, which will bother me.

so anyone have experience in this area. i want all 4 lights (2 inner 2 outer) to match and look whole) im thinking ebay, perhaps the smoked ones. hows the quality? the fitment? etc.. all details please. and trustworthy sellers?

thanks

I recomend DIY, I did my first set just the outers and you're right, the difference bugs the hell out of me. So I am doing another set, this time doing the outers and the inners so it will match up perfectly, plus i can fine tune my skills second time around on this project.

The DIY is so much more worth it but no they arnt not a perfect match obviously. If you get ones on ebay you can buy the whole setup the comes with all four lights. They will match perfect. Then you can let us know how fitment is on them as well.

anyone out there have any experience with buying R/C on ebay?

pls give as many details (and seller too if possible)
im assuming the ones on CE are the same shiz as the ones on ebay. seems most of CE's stuff is the same from ebay but just more expensive.

and another question. when i do the conversion. the 95/96 reds are bottom and turn is on top, opposite of the 97-99. so when i get trunk and lights for 97-99 is the wiring the same? or is there some work i have to do to rewire the taillights? if so what is it

You jsut have to make sure that the brake lights attach to the upper lights and the blinkers attach to the bottom lights.

Ones from Custom Enterprise are a direct match. I just got the outer tails I cannot tell a difference between mine.
