Default 1993-1997 tail light options

So I recently bought a 1994 camaro z28. One of the problems with it is that both taillights have water in them, and one is cracked. So obviously I want to replace them. I don't like aftermarket, or 1998-2002 style. I only want OEM 1993-1997 tail lights. So my question is, is there two different tail lights sold during these years? I am looking on eBay, and some look like mine, (white, and red), and some look different (white, and red, but sort of blackish on the inside of the white part. Is this just funny pictures, and they are all the same, or do I need to look for two of the same kind, because it seems no one sells them together. Also can you post a picture of your Tailights?

It takes a bit of effort and some luck to find 93-96 lights in good shape on ebay. I bought about 3 pairs before I got one I could work with, sanded them down (and removed the stupid embossed lettering) and polished them up, good as new. Not really a fan of the 97-02 tail lights so I replaced them with the older ones.

Check local salvage yards. I see them in decent shape at some of the yards around here all the time.
