Depends on how they were tinted and what kind of shape they are in. Nite Shades or sprayed with a gun?

hmmm... i hear a lot of camaro guys like the LT1 style lights... maybe you can trade with someone who wants the smoked ones... Id say theyre worth $125-150 if theyre in excellent shape... Is it the tint you dont like? You can easily remove and redo it.. or, if theyre free to you, cut them open and make your own setup...

How does wiring matter...? dont the bulbs twist and lock inside the housings? I know when you put the 98+ tails on the older 4gen birds they are a direct swap. Yours arent?

There's a write up on how to convert the LT harness to a LS harness for them to work and I know you said you didn't wanna deal with converting it but it could be something to look into if it's something like a 5 min. job or something like that.
