The 1997+ lights use wedge bulbs as opposed to incandescent bulbs from the earlier design. You will be taking 6 27w incandescent bulbs and replacing them with 5w wedge bulbs in the newer design. This causes your tail light failure module to register low resistance in the wiring due to the lesser wattage, so now your car will think you have bulbs blown out and give you the dash icon and hyperblink.
There are a few solutions to the hyperblink problem, but the most viable one is to find a tail light failure module from a 1997+ SC to go along with.
IMHO, the newer taillight design is definitely WORTH having even if you have to put up with a hyperblink. The newer tail lights look better when off, and better when on.
