AutoZone has them for about $54 including tax. That's where I got mine. They aren't on shelf, but they can order it and it will arrive at the store in 3 business days. No additional shipping charge either. Pep Boys used to carry it too.

just to let you know, putting the blackouts on your taillights could cause them to bubble over time. using VHT while permanent (in my opinion)will look better and last longer and not damage your lights. just my $0.02.

I've had black outs on my car for years and never had anything happen to them like melting. Like stated above the cheapest place I found to get them was from auto zone or advance auto.

That's a common problem on Camaro's.. The black outs have nothing to do with it as I've seen the tail lights bubble and warp with out them on.

I have only ever heard of Camaros with this problem. Mine were on my Formula for 4+ years without any problems.

He didn't ask for anyone's opinion.
The original poster wanted to know where to buy them.


And for the LAST time!
It is a Camaro issue with the melting the lens, not the Firebird application.


AutoVentShade TailShade Blackouts for the 93-02 Pontiac Firebird, Part #33041
Available from most local parts stores, ..., for about $38-54 bucks, ...

Most people are now using the VHT Niteshades paint approach.



Can we get a lockdown now because the question has been answered?
