Default UCF20 tail light differences

hello. I have searched for a couple weeks now to no avail. everyone says the 1995-97 tails differ from the 98-00

question:

what is the difference between the 95-97 tail lights and 98-00 tail lights
(may post pictures for comparison)

I own a 98 ucf20 celsior and cannot find RCR tail lights to save my life. so if anyone knows a company...

in general.. the inner piece of the 98-00 is longer when compared to the 95-97. also, the 98-00 taillights have a more cystalized (modern) look compared to the 95-97's dull hazy look.

the lights on the trunk are longer on a 98-00. if you get 95-97 lights you can only use the outer lights.

talk to this guy. he was able to get RCR tails in canada for his celsior.

Actually, I asked him about where he got them and he told me that he had the company importing the car fetch some other extras for him and ship them along with the car.

My advice, which is basically timmy0tool's response in a similar thread, is to buy a spare set of tail lights and have them retrofitted with LED panels. Bonus points from us if you can rig up custom light patterns like Elvis from StanceNation.
