If I want to put the LT1 body style tail lights on my '00 Camaro. Will the harness just plug right up, or does it have to be modified?

 

it will work but there is some problems with the swap...

1. the 98-02 bulb sockets are bigger then the 93-96 ones. so you will have to trim a little. (easy) you will see...

2. the 93-96 cars light up differently then the 97+, on the older ones all the lights light up. but on the newer cars they cant because of the amber turn signals. so the middle of the 4 light bulbs will be out until you put the turn signal on.

anyway its a good swap imo...

 

Really looks alot better....

 

^ i didnt have to do any trimming or anything when i put them on my '99. but like you said, they do light up different. i have since gone back to my 98-02 lights which are completely red now, see my sig. i hate the amber, and i didnt want white either.

Y2K_Camaro if you want a set of 93-97 light i have a stock set im not using. the left light has a minor crack, but its not that bad. let me know if your interested.

 

Thanks guys. I think they look a lot better too. crimson_bird, I appreciate the offer, but I am already buying some from a guy for $40 shipped. Thank you anyways. If he backs out of the sell, I'll let you know for sure

 

Its a great swap if done right, here is how to re wire them so they light up just like they do on LT1's very easy to do

did it to my car and love it

 

^^^That doesn't look too bad to do. I'm sure I can handle some wiring. Great looking Z28 too

 

Mine is actually the other way around. I have 98 tail lights on my 95 since my room mate broke one and I got the 98 ones for free.

 

*bugh* I didn't know there was extra wiring to get them done the right way....

guess I'm just going to tint my stockers now, lol.

 

its just one extra wire and easy 2 steps........^

 

Thanks man

 

I had to trim mine to get them to fit. I have had mine
for a couple months now and didnt change the wires
I got mine at the junk yard for 18 bucks...hah

 

^^^Those look great. Only $18, thats awesome. Why did you have to trim them, but some people dont?

 

I did the same swap but modified how it lights up (turn sig, brake lights).

That looks good 1fastls1ss

 

I'm pretty sure this is the next mod on my list...the LS1 tail flows sooooo much better with the bodylines.

 

yep 18 bucks the same day i got the firebird bezel for 2.99....but im not sure why i had to and some dont.. the plug was bigger than the hole on the tail light...
and i agree they flow sooo much better

 

They will snap in without trimming, it will take a lot of elbow grease though. Me and my buddy fought with it for about 25 minutes, maybe trimming would have been easier.

 

Yes you have to trim them

 

I wired both of the red area's to come on with the parking lights and brake lights. Then I wired the outside red area to come on for my blinker. I could take a little vid if anyone is interested.
