Default Are 98-02 Taillights interchangeable with 93-97?

I like the red and white look that the 93-97 Camaro Taillights have. Just wondering if I bought a set of these off eBay. Would they fit properly to replace the lights on my 00 Z28?

They fit but you have to cut one of the tabs off your light socket. One socket on each side, i forget which one.

The largest locating tang on the turn & stop sockets need to be made smaller then it will work with all tail lights.

A dremel tool works very nicely for this mod.

all I did was modify the taillight housing, I didnt wanna mess with the light bulb socket thing, if I ever wanted to swap back again
But all I did was take a razor blade, and enlarge the opening on the taillight housing, for the widest tab on the socket.
Took about 15minutes for both lights (4 openings)
