2nd Gen Tail lights on 1st Gen

[Tyler13999]

What do you guys think about this?
I can get GM Parts at Cost and I've been thinking about replacing the Stock Tailight housing with the new one.
Based on the look of the exterior, The housings are shaped the same. As long as the mounting holes line up it should fit.
Even if they don't Line up, It wouldn't be hard to drill through the plastic to make it fit.
I'm not 100% sure.
What do you guys think? How would it look?

2nd gen has dif bumper and trunk lid shape so lights won’t fit unless you change those as well.

The car is the same external otherwise besides bumpers and hood/trunk.

Personally, I'm ok with the rear , but dislike the front end on them. The first gen before face lift was definitely better looking and more unassuming.

I really like the rear tail light on the 2017-18. :banana:

I like the refresh. The Whole refresh and particularly the front. :banana:

* But. . . . all these annoying freakin' * Dancing Bananas * can go . . . LOL

I think the front and rear redesign make the Sonic look much more appealing and contemporary.

And. . . . in Cajun Red Tintcoat . ... . very *HoT*

I could do without the mustache and the headlights. It'll probably end up growing on me eventually though.

Did you have any luck with this?

I have a 2013 RS and although I like the front end, I much prefer the taillights of the newer generations.
