If the bulbs don't fit, try getting a different bulb, unless you mean the bulb won't clip on to the tail light.

are you talking about the bulb into the socket, or the socket into the tail light housing? I have heard of a tail light harness upgrade coming from a 98up car. Yours should work fine. Can you post some pics of your problem?

sounds like someone may have replaced the sockets with the ones available at the chain parts stores...they dont quite fit right. Either get a whole new harness or carve out the housing holes slightly

i know that sometimes you have to rotate the sockets a little, the look like they will line up but wont, try rotating the socket more, they didnt change them between your year and mine.. but then again, maybe I'm a retard.. lol
