Default Question about C4

I have a C5 and am thinking about picking a C4 as a DD. What year did the C4 go from round to square tail lights?

89 was the last year for the "tuck butt" 90 started the new rounded rear bumper.

NOTE: Did the 90 ZR-1 have an early front bumper and a later rear bumper?

Yes, the 90's have the classic style front and the progressive rear.
