This sounds like the melting problem common with using blackouts on the rear lenses.. I sold my stock ones to a guy that the same thing happened to..

Do you have pics you can post?

I had this same problem with my 2000 SS. The dealer replaced it for me with no problem at all. At first I wasnt sure if it was suppose to be like that or what but later saw a camaro with out it like that. The dealer should cover it though for sure if it is still under warranty.

On my 1993 Camaro V6 I had those dents in my taillights, and did'nt know what it was. And yes I did have blackouts on the front and back. So that's what the problem was. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Can you put lower wattage bulbs in the taillights and use taillight covers without getting the "dimples"?
