I wonder if its possible to install taillights from galant '96 on my galant '98. Would i have to switch whole trunk??? I dont know why but i like the older taillights way better. Also with front bumper from any body kit, do I need to switch t-bar from older galant because all body kits i see should fit galant 94-98 but i think they'll make so they fit with t-bar from older 7G... can i stay with my t-bar and still fit that bumper?
as far as the taillights someone just told me that you can pop out the piece that says galant on the 97-98 trunks and then you can use the tails lights from 94-96 without swapping whole trunk
there is no piece to pop out on '98 galant..........
yes the re is. the piece that has the letters on it. it has 2x10mm bolt on the inside of the trunk and then it comes out. i still dont know if a simple swap will do it. the trunks are very different
yeah I think you need to change the trunk itself. The outer lights are the same but that center is completely different. Why you consider this a downgrade? I think the older lights (other than the red and clear) look better
Downgrade in sense that i those older lights but yeah i like them better too thats i want to swap them. Also what about that t-bar and body kit , seems like its made for older 7g tooQuote:

all the body kits require you to swap to a 94-96 t-bar and grills
thank you for info it would great if you try and tell me if its possible without swapping whole trunk lidQuote:

I just did it yesterday but i traded up. The trunk lids are very different. 1. i think the 96-98 lids are lighter. Also the bolt holes for the center piece wont match up. Also the contour of where the lights themselves match up to the trunk lid is very different. If you are going to switch back you are going to hav e to get the whole trunk lid with the wiring harness....
Kondypl i honestly like the seperated lights, not a fan of the t bar from gens. belows 97... if you are looking to do somthing different DIY night shade the white part or if you are willing..thrown the tails in the oven, open them up and use some good amber clear tape like 3m on the in side
but if your still opted for "downgrading".. §krap's right :033:
So I kinda miss my old trunk /94 style/ and hopefully Ill be getting JDM tails someday, so Ill swap it back. And since we did Scrap's trunk conversion yesterday I'll have his trunk for future projects of mine.
i have a spare 94-96 trunk
yea i see you have everything , pm me your cell number again cuz i cant find it , ill prolly make one big order later on.....Quote:
