02 tail lamps on a 05
Thursday, April 26, 2007 12:02 PM
Someone cracked my tail lamps on my 05 cavalier. If I buy 02 carbon fiber taillights, could I just keep the stock bezel and replace the side lights with the ones that come with the 02?

you can do it, but the 95-02 tails will sit in further than the bezel since the bezel on the trunk is "raised" outward for lack of a better term

^^^to follow up on that, he means in the 03-05's there is a smaller corner bulb that wasnt on the 95-02's. so for those just pull the bulb out of the socket and tuck the little harness back

What do the corner bulbs do? are they important or do you really don't need them. I have a black car so i'm going to get 02 carbon fiber tails. replace the two side lamps and take the big chevy bowtie off the trunk bezel. You guy's don't think that would look good? Carbon tails on a black car with a solid red bezel.

02 tails will sit more flush then the 03-05 tails do , i went through this before i got a deck lid off a 95-02 cav so that i could use the 95-02 inner tails , it looked funny cuz of the black tail and the red center section. i dont have the pic of my 03 when i had just the outers and the 03 lid or id post it
