They're not that bad, from the title I was thinking they were crystal type lights that ricers put on their cars.

There NOT Euro lights. Thats ricer ****. There the export taillights, just like the title says... They were on the birds that went to places like Japan that require the amber portion, just like the exports for Camaro. I'm about 99.99% sure there were no honeycomb exports.

Have you fabricated these from regular LT-1 lights? not bad at all.

Here is some pics of GM's export taillights, these where on cars sold in europe between 93-97, only Firebirds was sold new during this time. From 98 GM switched to sell only Camaros in europe.
I need these exports due to the yearly inspection on the car. Also police could stop you if you have wrong colour on the turnsignals(got tired of this).
(I have my honeycombs storen in my garage)

I was about to say wtf, but then I noticed your location. I was going to say, here it's legal to have red turn signals, or amber turn signals lol.

You could sell those on UK ebay if you're not going to use them.

i made them glad to know everyone likes them. it was kind of tedious to do. the unfourtanit part is you have to basically leave 2 sets of tail lights usless to make one set. Thats why i got a wanted add in here for wrecked T/A tails.
