Camaro taillight swap questions (93-96 to the 97 & up style) I have a 93 camaro z28. i want to put the taillights out of a the 97 and up camaro's (with the amber turn signals). They look like they are the same shape but i havent actually tried yet. has anyone done this? will all the bulbs fit right in or will i have to cut and wire the bulbs from the 97 and into my car as well?

KEEP THE STOCK ONES!!!
I love 97+ Camaros with the 93-96 headlights swapped in. They follow the lines of the trunk/spoiler so so so well. The best looking rear of any Camaro ever made IMO is a 1998-2002 SS. Even better with the berger panel. Personally, I love the setup you already have.

yeah it takes a little modifying to fit them on ...but it shouldn't be too bad....here's the steps
1) remove lt1 tails
2) take your dremel and w/ aggressive sand rolls you're gonna want to widen up that area as much as you possibly can. the 97-02 camaro tails are a bit bigger so this is a mandatory step.
3) wipe off all the metal shavings
4) get the strongest locktite bottle in the market and squeeze generously onto the threads of the screws located in the back of the housing
5) insert your new tails and call it a day
good luck!
