^ he's talking about AP2 vs AP1 tail lights, not v2 vs v1.
you'd need to cut into the sheet metal to mount the AP1's, it's a bit of work.
the plugs are also different, you'd need to either modify your connectors or buy a harness and cut the new plugs like i did.
finally, there's an extra connection that goes to the bulbs on the sides of the tails that the AP2 doesn't have, so you'll be missing those lights.

thanks for the info everyone 
so am i correct to say I can order a AP1 taillight, and with some workcomes with extra done on my AP2 car, the taillight will fit, and just that the AP1 taillight has extra connections that i will not need to use. ?

no stock for AP2 and got myself a AP1 instead. On close inspection, everything looks exactly like a AP2. down to the serial numbers engraved on the glass.
ap2 tail lights have 3 circles..
ap1 have 2 ..
