Steve did swap his old style switch to the 1996-97 style not the 1998 ones. I should know, I shipped him that missing trunk release :p

So at least you know it is possible to do that. However, because there were slight switch designs from 1996-97 to the newer 98 ones, esp with the intergation of the trunk switch and new style outside mirror adjustment it might be more work than you may want.

Also keep in mind that the new switches have different cut outs for the center console so you may have to refile your holes or buy a new console as well.

Mine is a 93 (not 94 ;) ) and did upgrade to the 96 (97) style switches but those are connected differently then the 97+ ones (as Joey said)...

96-97 can be made to work in pre 96 202s but to make the 97+ switches to work you need to change a lot of wiring and add control units in the doors.
