Hey guys I need some expert opinion on this one.
I own a 95 ES
Is it possible to swap out those 1st generation tailights and put on the 97's? Maybe with a little bit of modifications on the back end.. If possible can someone Show me exactly how to convert it..

If not it would also be helpful if someone could refer me to a custom Automotive lighting website to see if they have custom lights for my car

You will not be able to do a swap, but will be able to basically get your taillights to look the same by taking them off of the car, heating them up in your home oven, and prying them open to remove the amber plastic inside the housing.

If you look a little harder, you will see some threads talking about this very thing. Good luck and welcome to the club.

Hahha There's gotta be like 10 threads with the 97-99 light conversion question..
No you can't.
I made my tails look closer to the 97-99 look in the "Where can i git these lights" thread..instructions and pics included. (Scroll down on pg 1 of the es forum).

Doubt it, since the trunk line on the two models are different. The '94-96 dont have a cut in the taillights for the trunk lid (hence the high lift-over height of the trunk ), where as the later ones have a cut for the trunklid.

Although you could probly fit a an 89 es250 light on a camry

Wasn't the ES250 based off the Cressida?
