They claim to sell them for the 95-97 at least in an e-mail they sent me but I can't seem to find it on their web site

Jahummer,

So you finally got the lights. I was wondering if the lights line up just as perfectly as the OEM ones. Do they leak water or let moisture in at all? I ask that cause I saw a car with them on and both sides were completely condensed/fogged up water on the inside. The lenses were not cracked at all, perfect condition.

That's the main reason why I have yet to get them. If I do I probably would resilicone the edges though.

Let me know how you like them please.

Well, I must say that they are impressive knock offs and I had no difficulty installing and they do look OEM. But the fit is not quite as perfect as OEM. You can't tell even on close inspection but I tend to notice details. I think that I can probably make some minor adjustments.

I don't think that they will leak, they are very well made. I can't say that I am overwhellmed but I am happy with them and I do think that they make the car look more contemporary and unique. They would probably have the greatest impact on black since orange doesn't look so good.

Anyhow plan to post a pic of them installed tonight.

BTW it took only about 45 minutes to R & R.

Thanks Jahummer,

I am pretty much the same way when it comes to detail.
Kind of a perfectionist.

Look forward to seeing a pic!
