alright, wondering if someone can shed some light on this.

I picked up a set of "LT1" tails from a friend. After going to just swap it out with my old tails i realized the sockets dont fit into the holes. I then realized he gave me a harness. I plugged the harness in, verified the running lights work, turn signals work but when i step on the brake they dont get brighter.

Ive talked to a bunch of people, some say oh your harness will just plug in (which it doesnt)

can anyone who has done this help me out?

my goal is to do a sequential turn signal mod but i really would just like to get em on my car and working properly right now (IE. all the lights work the exact way they do on the early 4th gens)

when i gave my lt1 talis to my friend for his ls car we had to open up the sockets holes alittle with a hobbie knife after that the went in just fine. just alittle tweaking to them

ok ive heard that, but also on the ls1 style, with the running lights only 2 light up, where as the lt1 all 3 are lit. Wont that look funny?

you mean have them light up like this? where the whole tail light comes on at night? I did what Camaro RS350 said, i had to use a small knife to make the socket opening a little bigger for my LS1 tail light socket to go in. Oh and sorry for the crappy cellphone pic, they look super bright here but its actually not like that and its evenly lit up

Yeah i definately like how it flows better with the lines of the car compared to the LS1 tails

how do the turn signals work though. is it just 1 bulb (wasnt sure how it was on the LT1)

i basically want to do this

so im hoping that the mod actually forces the 3 to light in sequence as a blinker and that the LT1s when you used the blinker didnt have all 3 pulse together

when i use my turn signal only one bulb blinks brighter as i didn't tap the other 2 bulbs to it...as for the sequential i believe you need some sort of like regulator or something. I'm sure someone who knows will chime in or just do a search...good luck

I swapped mine with a '96 because I don't care for the newer set up.It makes people think because they know somethings wrong but can't put their finger on it.

So i recently switched to LS1 tail lights from LT1 lights on my 4th gen and was wondering if anyone has any tips as far as rewiring. The ambers staying on are driving me nuts!

As for going from LS1 tails to LT1 tails look here

For the LT1 tails going to LS1 I am not positive but I think you will have to cut one of the wires on your set that powers the amber section all the time. I would get a mulitmeter and see which pin has power all the time and see which pin gets power when they are blinking. If they are two seperate pins the just cut cap and stow the wire that has power all the time.

Ugh sounds like work thanks

I used the same method with a dremel tool till they fit snug
