No, the 95-96 and 97-99 taillights are not interchangeable. However, if you swap your body pieces for 97-99 ones, the 97-99 taillights will fit.

If you swap from the 95 to the 97-99 trunklid then the lights will fit.

Wrong. Not needed. It will look slightly different (there will be a little tiny gap between the bumper and trunk lid) but it isn't needed.
