    All four body styles have individual tail lights. Coupes only fit coupes, sedans only fit sedans*, hatches only fit hatches, aerodecks only fit aerodecks.

    *Okay, sedans will fit on a coupe, but they don't "fit".

    The corners are different (hatches are squared off, aerodecks are rounded and angled) so they will not fit. I think someone has done it before.

    I couldn't remember if the aerodeck lamps were square like the hatch, that clears it up

    You'll pay nearly that much for the gaskets from the dealer.

    Re: heres something for u sedan owners but....

    if someone would send me a gasket for the sedan's and coupe's i can make a good quality gasket that's laser cut. It would be made out of weather resistant closed cell foam rubber, similar to the stock ones. Only difference is that it might not be black like the stock one , it may be red.

    i think i figured the price would be roughly around 20-30 shipped to your door after i make them.

    oops this thread was for taillights sorry

    Re: heres something for u sedan owners but....

    all you need to make the gaskets are a roll of the material probably from MSC or someplace like it, an exacto knife and a basic set of cheap punches, they come in a set of six or seven. you hit then with a hammer and they cut a clean hole. these taillight gaskets are very simple to make

    laser cut is much cleaner than using a punch and exacto knife , not to mention i can make 4 hatch gaskets in 2 min

    have you thought about making some and selling them? you could make them out of a better modern material that doesn't leak or deteriorate like the foam
