Big improvement! I did the same on my formy while the front bumper was off. Haven't seen them back on the car, but the original ones looked horrible. I bet they are made out of the same stuff as the camaro headlights . At least the foglights held up fine over time! *shrug*

GMPartsDirect has them. I don't know the part numbers off the top of my head but they were less then $100 for a Formula.

Is the housing hard to replace? Can it be done through the "access" door?

ebay does have them for around $30 each side but i don't know how the quality is on them... i went straight to a local dealer and got them since it was cheaper than ebay with my discount... my old ones were all cracked and cloudy looking... it looks so much better now... i wanted to vht/smoke them but i am hesitant cause i don't want to screw them up lol

i don't work at a gm dealer we just get discounts cause we do business with them... they did have the lights in stock so it shouldn't be too hard to find them... gmpartsdirect is cheaper than the list at the dealer so you might check them out first... sometimes they have parts listed on there and when you get done ordering they email you saying they don't offer the part anymore or give you a higher price... they did that to me a couple of times and pissed me off so i don't go through them anymore haha

Good deal! The shipping was a bit higher than anticipated on their site but not horrid. I will also not have to worry/doubt the quality.

For reference:
Firebird turn signal / parking lamp (98-02), RH = 10301404
Firebird turn signal / parking lamp (98-02), LH = 10301405

Are you guys using GM bulbs or aftermarket?
