Definitely an improvement. Goes really well with the Berger. I'm doing just the opposite, LS1 tails on my LT1... Trans Am!

looks great man! the only rear lights over those are the euro lights or whatever they are...not the ricer ones, the ones that are divided into 5 sections. I know someone has a picture of them and won't let me sound like a moron. haha.

That was the orginal plan, but proved more trouble than it was worth....so I ended up reworking the LS1 harness instead.
