The 98 lights are 40mm wider than the 97, according to the list of changes on the Lexus Certified Pre-Owned website.

So, you may have to do a little body work if you want to fit 98 tails.

I recently purchased a 97 LS400 and one rear lense appeared clearer than the rest I asked at the dealer some one put a 98 lense in and fit perfectly in the fender I replaced it with a 97 lense so all matches fine now. PS I still have a right rear 98 lense laying around. Personal Msg. me for info.
