I think there is akit available to give gen 2 rear light look to gen 1, no new bumper required.
+1They are different and not worth the faff of new bumper etc.
however there are aftermarket versions available that give the gen 2 look and seem to work quite well as a direct replacement. I have seen a few on here who have done it.

You missed out the "IMO" there ?
.2 lights and rear PU transform the looks of a .1 997 and well worth the "faff" IMO.
Well I suppose I did miss the IMO. I will give you that one!.2 lights and rear PU transform the looks of a .1 997 and well worth the "faff" IMO.
If you can get hold of a cheap bumper as per your other link then why not. But IMO it never will be a gen 2 and those that know these cars will know that. Whereas just changing the light units for some which are LED makes the car look immediately more modern and more in line with the current styling. IMO!!!!!

Who gives a st what "those that know these cars" think ? If you actually own the car (as opposed to a finance/flipper junky) you can do WTF you want with it and the newer lights and bumper give it a great modern look IMO TB993tt said:

But they're the smoked ones, a bit chavvy IMO. I'd go for the plain lens type myself. FYI, they have three types, one semi-smoked...

Heard back from the supplier - 2-year warranty on these and the black box behind the unit (in the photos) ensures that the electrics doen't send an error/warning message to the dashboard.
