i have 97 tails and 95 tails and i vote that either one is better.

i like the lens on the new ones, looks more updated. reverse light looks like something is about to jump out on you. i never really liked it on the 92-94 lights either, but at least that one isnt as tall, and fits in the lower half of the red part.

If you knew for sure that you could change the reverse to red by opening it up somehow, then i would probably like them.
then just switch the reverse bulb with one of the brake lights on top, problem solved.
then you would have reverse 95 clear tails with newer looking lenses.
i would have to say the lenses on the 95's are a little dull

1997 Tails are perfect for our cars

There will never be an aftermarket one that can beat it

Ok need to chime in on this one. I have the 95's and upgraded to the 97+ they were expensive 375+ but well worth it. These new aftermarket ones are fugly...

we need to track down some tail light molds and start making our own or some one should make a decent set of "aftermarket" tails that dont look like garbage. all red with the oem reverse clear. or red bottom and clear top.

i dont think they look that bad after a little mod..maybe painting the clear part..and for the reverse..just put a really bright white led in there so that its distinguishable..
