I don't know whether this should be in the Newbies forum or the Exterior, but I figured I should be able to get my question answered here. What I was wondering is the set-up for Cavalier tail lights. For the outside lights, do all years come with two holes (the 3157 inner & 194 outer)? My TYC tails came with them, and I'm trying to make sure that if I go with some 95-99 stock cavalier tails that it will be the same. Also, what type of bulbs/sockets fit into the toyo tails? I heard about most people having to rewire and everything, is that the only way to do it?
And if anyone has an opinion ... What do you think would look the nicest on a white Sunfire with the CF bezel? Stock tails, toyo tails, other aftermarket? Right now I have chrome TYC tails, and they have started to leak and I'm contemplating switching. Thanks for the help.
The first question, I believe that they are dual 3157's
To have the turn signal part of the toyo's to work, minor rewire is needed... check here:

Pre-2k Toyos should look nice with the CF bezel as they have the black trim rather than the maroon trim of the 2k+

not all the 95-99 tails have that little peanut bulb(194). i have a 99 Z power everything and a 97 Z with power nothing and neither of them have it but my step moms 96 ls sport vert. has them and my dads 98 bare bones base model had them. i guess its hit or miss on them. and yes when you wire the toyota tails the have a seperate bulb that you have to wire up, its a 3057 for the turn signal, and the stock 3157 for the stop/driving light. it does require some modification of the stock harness but nothing you couldnt do in less then 45 minutes, ive done 3 sets of them and never took me more than 20 minutes.
and the opinion on which tails you go with.... im a little biased on the toyota tails
simple minds talk about other people.
average minds talk about events.
great minds discuss ideas
95 and part of 96 came with wiring that included the 194 bulb. if you already have it and get lenses that don't its not a big deal just tuck them away in the trunk.
