Default '98 Monte Carlo Tail-Light Lens?

Hello, everyone.

This past evening I broke the tail-light on my 98 Monte Carlo. Got stuck in the snow, and had a friend rocking the car. Well, he put his hand through the lens, and so I'm looking for a new one now.

One thing I noticed while searching around online is that the tail-light lens for the Lumina looks exactly the same as the one for my Monte Carlo. They're quite a bit less costly, as well.

I was just curious if anyone knew if they were the same size and interchangeable?

Thanks for the help.

Yes the do fit. But the lumina taillight has the black line through the lens. And this one is pretty cheap...

Are you speaking from experience? Just want to be 100% sure.

Would this one fit? Doesn't have the black line in it and looks exactly like the lens that was broken.

Thanks for your help.

they are interchangeable,

100% positive

there are actually 3 different styles of tail lights that are interchangeable on 95-99 monte carlos, and 95-01 luminas, depending on the trim level and year of the car. But they all work on any of the models.
