Default Taillight problem....need help! (reposted)

I just replaced my rear tail light with one from a 98. My car is a 97. Are they the same or different? MY origiinal right taillight(97) is not illuminating in the middle (directly above the reverse light) when my night lights are on, and the new one(98) i got is lighting up in the middle (just above the white reverse)I checked all the bulbs and they all work?? Anyone know whats up with that? Is the wiring different? Is there something i need to change in the old light to get it like the new one or vice versa? They are the same model tail light (at least they look the same, with the amber signal) or is it because the bulbs are different?

Default I recall you having to make some changes to the wire connector. Checkout the Tech section, I recall

it being somewhere in there, or scour the forms. I'm positive I've seen it somewhere on this server.
