Direct swap, but:
- you should swap the outer taillights to pre-98 also - slightly different in shape/size/light pattern
- you will have to splice some wires to get the lights to work due to different harnesses
That's pretty much it. Just hit the junkyards and start looking!

you mean tail lights right? pre 98 headlights wont fit on a post 98 and vise versa.

Once you get the trunk mounted, you will see the colored wiring. You will have to cut the existing post-98 wiring and splice into the pre-98 wiring. Make sure you have a friend help you swap trunks.

they are different in size so does that create a fitment issue? did u need some fill in matereal?

Pre-98 inner w/ 98+ outer.  See where the 2 meet at the top? The 98+ outer is slightly taller there. HTH
