Default Will 93-96 Firebird lights bolt in to a 98+ TA?

Topic title. Been toying with the idea of swapping out my honeycombs for a set of base Firebird lights from a 93-96 because I like the oldschool style in which the brakes illuminate.



Is it as simple as swapping the whole housings or will I have to mess with the sockets and wires, etc. I know the 97+ tails use different wiring for the Camaros.

Straight swap, you're good to go.

yeah, the wiring did technically change, they went from round base bulbs (like a 2057) to the wedge base bulbs (like a 3157) but the parts that "twist" in to the tail light housing are still the same size so it is a straight swap.
