Did a quick photoshop of my car with LT1 tailights. What do you guys think?



Anyone know where else I could pick these up for cheap, besides Ebay?

I hated the contrast of the yellow and pewter and of course the lines of the Amber Taillights do not match any of the lines of the car. The Colors are just thrown together disjoined. aack..

There's a little work involved to wire them up but it's not hard at all and I can send you the info. Another Cool thing is the factory LT1 brake lights only light up the inner most bulb of the taillights (sorta like the ones you have already). With the MOD I can send you.. the Entire Tailight will light up when you hit the brakes.. It looks Great, not to mention how cool these taillights look at night with the parking lamps running.. The entire Housing is lit and not just that one little slice..

That looks awesome. The amber part is messing up my color scheme

Thanks Teri.

Would look great.. Jon did this with his 35th LE and it flowed very nicely with the car. I wonder if technically its illegal though? (deleting the amber)..

no, in the US, you can have either, amber or red turn signals.

some countries (like japan) , you need amber, but not the US.

Yes there's no problem having an all red taillight. My 2003 Ranger has all red taillights and I know many of the Lincoln Mercury cars in the last 10 years had all red taillights, which was one of the few differences between the Ford cars and Mercury.

I have been thinking about this mod for a while too. I don't like the lines of the stock lights either. I always liked the export lights (Steven) but these LT1 lights are MUCH cheaper!

The new Caddys(?) with full LED tails have nothing but the red LEDS for both braking and signals.

I like it.

It's subtle, unlike all of these clear jobbies I see people with now.

I would never put those clear tailights on any of my cars.

I did this mod on my car 1-year ago, and have been happy ever since. I like the way the outline of the back-up lights flows with the contours of the deck lid. I also like the simple look of LT-1 design verses the later style tail lamps.

I found my LT-1 tail lamps on E-Bay for less than $100.00, and the install was pretty easy. The only modification involved was using a dremel moto tool to cut a small amount of material around the light socket openings.

We aren't talking about clear lights. The ones I refer to are the export lights (like Steve used to have on his SS) that look like candy corns. They are very similar to the stock ones but the amber is on the outside of the light and the lines of the light follow the lines of the trunk lid. I wouldn't even THINK of putting those ricer clear lights on my car!

93-96 tail lights where the VERY first mod I did on my car (already had them sitting at home before I even picked up the car from the dealership)...
