Default '95 Tails on my '97

I was in need of some tail lights and I got bored with the oem 97 look. So I picked up a pair of 95's.







I think debadging the "lexus" and paint the L black along with a black soarer emblem will complete the rear

I actually really like the 95's. What happened to your old ones?

looks good, different, i like the 95-00 tails, only thing i don't like is the amber/orange, especially on the 95-96, if you painted it red it'd look even better, imo, the amber/orange breaks up the flow of the redness of the tails and clashes with the red too much. But there's nothing wrong with OEM, it's just that we try to find ways to make something that looks good look even better: Evolution.

My right side one was cracked and was letting moisture in leading to consecutive bulb burn outs. I could've ordered one 97 but I like the 95 look better anyway.

I have 95s and ZERO intention on going 97+ tails. I never liked the 97+ tails.

yes 95-96's all the way. They look the sportiest out of the bunch, but if you are going for that chrome, classy type of look then i guess the 97's would cut it

Finally got me a set, then spent the good part of today clearing them. Now the question is keep my 97's or put these in?
