Eclipse Taillights

[dsm03]

Will the 97-99 eclipse spyder taillights fit on my 95 talon? I been reading and everything seems to be interchangeable, along with bumpers headlights and such. Looking at buying a set off ebay and I just want to verify.. Thanks

They should fit fine.

The Spyder's have a 3rd brake light built into the hatch that hardtop's don't....but this shouldn't effect the taillights in any way.

The taillights bolt in, but the wiring harness won't work exactly right. The wiring is different for the brake and driving lights. It's been so long since I thought about this, so I can't recall exactly how. The harness will plug in, you just won't have the brake and turn signal lights working like a stock eclipse, and will either have to add a circuit to accomplish identical functionality or compromise... I think I ended up using the outer lights for turn signals and inner ones for the brakes.

The bumper doesn't bolt onto a talon either without some modification. There are three horizontal metal sections for the bumper cover to bolt to, and on the talon they are not in the same location as they would be for the eclipse. I had the shop cut and re-weld those mounting tabs into the proper locations. Others have made some brackets up from home depot or lowes, but I don't know details.

They'll work together but if u keep the talon rear bumper, youll have a big gap, where as the talon lights are different. If you put an eclispe rear bumper on, any year of the 2g it will fit perfect with the eclipse tail lights. the wiring and the bulbs will be more than easy to figure out.

the tail lights will fit just fine and will look a lot better if you get an eclipse bumper or else there will be a space there. as for the headlights i believe that the 95-96 headlights are different than the 97-99

At the bottome corner where the bumper and the quarter panle meet with the tailight, the eclipse tails going into a point of like a sharp edge, but the talons round up.. thats where it doesnt seem it will fit. Is that where the rear bumper off the eclipse will come to play??

 

[TSiAWD666]

Uh, I don't think the height anywhere with the rear lights matches the eclipse's light's dimensions, so the bumper will "come into play" everywhere on the bottom edge of the lights. Doesn't really matter if I'm wrong in a place or not, you're going to need the eclipse rear bumper to make it look right. There will be gaps on most of, if not all the bottom edge.

I realize that, I wasnt planning on leaving a Talon rear bumper that would just look straight stupid!! I just wanted to make sure the lights fit in properly without doing modifications anywhere. And I have read that Its almost a straight swap for the conversion but I just wanted to clarify that it did because it just sort of looks like the bottom or the eclipse tails wouldnt fit properly.
