So if they both were, then how did one get a different style? Like, what was the difference between the two that they made both during the same years.

Thanks OneJay.
So even if i upgrade from the 92 tails to the 95, do i need to do that 'thing' for the hyperblink fix?

Does anyone know if i do the hyperblink fix and still use 92 tails will it get messed up?

why would you upgrade to 95-96 tails when you can get 97-00 tails?

I guess you understood it wrong..

I wanted to know if I were to choose the 95-96 lights, would i have to do the hyperblink fix?

or, is it, if i wanted to choose any 95-96 or 97-00 lights, i would need to do hyperblink fix..?

what is weird for you? And why would you think 95 tails wouldnt hyperblink? both them and 97 have the same amount of turn signal bulbs.

I see. For the hyperblink fix, I would need to solder on a different capacitor..which I don't like because I'm 95% sure that I will wreck the DIY project.

i believe the jdm 95-96 tails has amber turn signals that go all the way to the corner but USDM one has amber then has a small red in the corner.

JDM


USDM



don't know if it even matters but something to point out i guess....

just get 97+.

I like the '95-'96 taillights. The are somewhat rare because they were only made for 2 years, versus 3 years for the '92-'94 and 4 for the '97-'00 (then you have to calculate the 97+ conversions that some members did).
