It's all deppends on the rear lights that you want to raplace with. If you are talking about replacing your lights with 1999-2001 lights, then I heard that you can do it, but there it requires some re-wiring. On Tuesday I went to the dealer and ordered clear corners and clear side markers (on the fender). Those should be very easy to replace. If you want to replace your rear lights with the clear ones from 1995-1998, you can get it from the dealer. They cost arround $200 and they do not require any re-wiring. If you will take a look at the clear lights from the delaer 1995-1998 the only difference will be is the yellow will be white. The red portion of the light will be the same as the one that you have right now. If you saw the lights from 1999-2001, the red part and the clear part is much clearer then the ones from 1995-1998 dealer purchased. I personally see no reason to get 1995-1998 clear set from the dealer, because they look just a little different then the ones that you have. If you are going to find a solllution how to connect and re-wire for the lights from 1999-2001, please let me know. I personally want to replace my lights with the ones from 2001, but I do not know how to re-wire it.
