What are the possible repercussions when the wrong tail light is installed.?

I have a 97 Ford Explorer. Both tail lights need to be replaced. I went to the wrecking yard. They had two 95's, one 96, one 97 (these models have the same style tail light), all of which had no tail lights. The closest I could find were those of a 94. From 94 to 95 the tail light changed very slightly. It went from a straight edge (where the side panel meets the light) to a slightly rounded edge. The bolting pattern is the same. The height is the same. The width varies due to the curved edge. When the 94 is installed there is a slight gap where the %26quot;curve%26quot; should be. I wonder, to what extent, if any, will this affect the vehicle or the lamp itself. My main concern is water getting into the housing causing shorting or into the exterior frame of the vehicle causing corrosion. How valid are these concerns? What are the other issues I should consider?

water would be your main concern..What are the possible repercussions when the wrong tail light is installed.?
The seal comes from where the bulb attaches to the housing, not where the assembly bolts to the body. As long as the bulb connectors seal tightly in the assembly as they should, there won't be any problems at all.



I wouldn't worry about corrosion from water getting into the exterior of the body either. Water gets in there anyway.What are the possible repercussions when the wrong tail light is installed.?
The dimensions of the lamp should be the same, it should fit and be water tight, just the appearance would be off!What are the possible repercussions when the wrong tail light is installed.?
Yeah, water is your big concern, it wont look original. you could put some sealer around the outside if you wanted too.
