Default rear tail lights

I bought a set on ebay to replace my faded ones. But mechanic said they didn't fit. But they look just like all the other ones listed on ebay and google images.

Anyone ever have this problem.

Is there a special red spray paint I can just tape around the light and coat it a few times. As a quicker fix.

Thanks

It should bolt right up.....there was a design change to the turn signal socket from the 99-00 models to the 01-02. The 01-02 turn signal socket is smaller and will no stay in the opening......unless you use some silicon , or you can purchase new pig-tail wires from the dealer.

Try installing them yourself.

The tail lights are the same from 99' to 00'. Starting in 01' they got the Altezza style tail lights until 03'.
