Default Aftermarket taillights

Hey guys I need some help. Recently I have been trying to change out my tail lights for my 95 civic to the red and white ones. I currently have flashy alteza style lights in there, and they fit perfect. I've purchased the other lights, and there is not enough slots for bulbs. This is getting really ridiculous because I'm on my 3rd pair now! Every one I buy says they fit like OEM and even show the back of them, but when they arrive they are different. Has anyone had this happen? Or at least the people with the red/white tail lights, where did you get yours, and did you have to modify them to fit all the bulbs?

Sorry about the long story, just getting really frustrated with this.

The smaller trunk piece has a large openning where there should be a socket for a bulb, and the other oppening is the right size, but there isn't any notches for the bulb. it was the same on all three sets I bought.

Is it for the parking light and brake like bulb? Not the reverse light.

it's the two lights on the trunk lid. i think one is a break light and the other is the reverse light.

the red part would be for the tail light. there is no brake light on the trunk lid. and the white part is the reverse light. since the oem tail lights have that big grey thing on them the new ones should either have that able to bolt up, or have a conversion harness. find the tail lights yuo bought and put a link up so we can look at them.

The tail light part is just an open space, and the white part has an opening but not the correct size for the bulb. It's for the coupe. I'll post pics in the morning.
