yes they will. mechanically. as in bolts and fit.
You may have to rewire the lights though, as the bulb locations/order may be different. (ie turn signals on top, vs. middle or reverse, or whatever.)
I installed Infiniti QX4 lamps on my 99.5 and they are even better in my opinion as they are clear and red. but I had to rewire the lamps completely as the bulbs and sockets were different locations and did not fasten into the housings from each other. easy enough as I got the pigtails with the lamps from the donor vehicle. Which you should do too, if you do this.
