Wait I wanna guess......

~The 95 tails are from a Ford Escort?

~You're using Gimp labor?

~You're standing in front of the car?

~The 92 Sc400 you speak of is in reality a 240SX with lexus emblems?

~You didn't remove the 92 tails first?

Probably something to do with the number of light bulbs used in their assemblies (if they don't include harnesses). Different years had different number of bulbs for tails/turn signals/brakes. Anyway you look at it, they are all interchangeable with each other.

This has got to be one of the funniest responses I've seen from an admin in any forum!

Yea as mentioned earlier, the number of bulbs in the 95-96 or 97-00 tails may set off your 92-94 SC taillight warning indicator and make your blinker faster. That is why some aftermarket tails are specified for certain years.

Also, if you have a 92-96 rear bumper, you might have to enlarge 2 of the mounting holes on each side horizontally in order to fit 97-00 SC tails. You might able to force it in as well without enlarging.
