Default 97 Tails on a 95

I was wondering if a 97 Accord Tail lights would fit on a 95. I mean from what i can see they would fit, they are similar size and shape(minus the truck lights). Only difference i see is the reverse light jammed between red, I like the look of the reverse on top.

I can't recall exactly but I believe this has been covered before and it was determind that you can't interchange the tail lights.

Don't quote me on that but if you search you can probably some threads on here talking about it.

I think they'll fit however you wouldn't have any reverse lights (not 100% sure on the fitment but I know you wouldn't have the reverse)

True, you wont have the reverse light because the 97 accord taillight, the reverse light is on the trunk. The pic you posted up there fromt the 97 is only brake light and signals.

Actually, the fitment won't go as expected. The 1/4 panels are different, the trunk lids are also different. The lights won't align with the 1/4 panel and trunk lid.
That's not the way to go.....
