Kinked Vs Unkinked Tail Lights

So I've been told that lights that fit in with the CE1 bootlid are 'unkinked' but the CE2 are kinked? (or maybe its the opposite.)

Do the other ones fit on the opposite boot? or are they stupid looking?

I was thinking about the CE1 bootlid with the evo lookalike reflectors and wonder if I should spend/waste the money on the tail lights too

You need the tail lights that suit the boot.
CE1 are unkinked
CE2 are kinked
 
Im pretty sure you can run the opposite tail light to what you boot is, but it wont line up nice.

If you have this type of boot you want kinked.

IIRC, you put either light in either boot, its just the top part wont line up properly.

Get CE1 tails, it will look awkward with CE2 ones.

Go to a wrecker and see if you can swap yours for unkinked ones +$20 their way. It's worth a shot.

lol as you can see in the first photo, they have the ce2 boot with unkinked tails for a ce1. bit of a fail.

lolwut. the tails are the same the boot isnt.
 
Right, so I should definitely just rip out the entire rear end off a front wreck?
 
Tail lights are about $40 each tops. Boot lid about $100-$150 for the evo style. AFAIK they are compatible.

If you have the CE1 boot still just get a CE1 bootlid :p

exact same bootlid. shouldnt be anymore then a normal lancer boot unless its got the spoiler and/or the garnishes.
 
Oh yeah its worth mentioning again, the spoiler holes are different from Evo boot lid compared to Lancer CE.
 
I have a CE2.. But i want the CE1 bootlid.....
Not looking for an actual evo boot because i still want the same wing as I have now (with center delete)
 
is there a way to use the ce2 taillights and have a ce1 boot with evo taillight extension reflectors

Firstly are yours kinked? If they are, it will work but look hell silly.
Also the kinked ones have a pinkish hue to the reverse lamp and wont match up with the color of the Evo 5/6 garnish. Evo 4 is full red.

I would stick to matching it correctly. Red garnish with series 1 tail lights, Red + White garnish with unkinked facelift tail lights, kinked with kinked boot.
 
You need the tail lights that suit the boot.
CE1 are unkinked
CE2 are kinked
So for me to run this boot, I need to buy new tail lights? I have the standard boot and i wanna run one of these myself, with reflectors of course.
