doesnt matter the trim of the car, 96-00 ex/si tails are interchangeable.

Just to clarify.

No not at all. I'll clarify.
96-00 coupes are interchangeable amongst coupes ONLY.
96-00 hatchies are interchangeable amongst hatchies ONLY.
96-00 sedans are NOT interchangeable without modification.

yea, 96-98 sedans have completely different tail light lenses than 99-00s, as apposed to coupes/hatches which are just coloration.

Mine fit just fine. '99+ Si's must have colored turn signal bulbs (mine blink white now) but aside from that, they fit perfect.

Because they are the same fixture, just different coloration.

Sorry if I confused you in the first post EJ.
