My guess would be no.............but thats a guess. I mean, look how each one is shaped and layout............seems unlikely.

The shapes are similar but I don't think they'll fit. But who knows, the may be interchangeable. Best thing for you to do is visit the parts counter at your local dealership. That would look really nice if they did fit though.

Definitely not going to fit. Completely different taillight between the two.

You could alway buy some red taillight overlay to make it look all red http://www.decalfx.com/red_tail_light_film.html

here's a quick photoshop to see what it could look like

they should have done this from the beginning on the Altima sedan, but I guess the coupes were the lucky winners here

The yellow on the tail lights is so old-fashioned, not 'modern' anymore. Thus, the coupe's tail lights are superior to the sedan's.

Those are some nice wheels on the sedan though.
