"The turn signal lenses are different so replacements must also be purchased. The OEM 1999 lenses are VERY expensive at more than $400 for the pair. Yikes! AND...they will not plug into the 1993-1995 wiring harness. An adapter harness has to be bought for about $80 (more expense) or you could splice in the wires yourself (more work). However, help is on the way. Makoto Auto Trends sells knockoff 1999 JDM style lenses for 1/2 the price of the factory lenses (Part number M-MZ99R7-6839BLX for the smoked version) AND the wiring plugs directly into the 1993-1995 harness - no adapter or wire splicing needed. The only difference in appearence is the OEM lights have a smooth inner housing whereas the knockoffs have an angular inner housing. From 5 feet you can't tell the difference and if you didn't know there was a difference one would swear they were OEM parts. And a nice option is the knockoffs are sold with a clear lens, a smoked lens, or clear lens with a clear housing (vs black). I chose the black housing with the smoked lens. "

Triple-R: Rotary Extreme 1999 OEM Style Front Bumper Install
A good gauge for replicas are price, vendor, and ebay. I have replicas on my car and I am perfectly happy with them.
