Default Swap LT1 tail lights onto my 02

So I got a set of LT1 tails and a sequential tail light splice in set. My question is, do i need to splice in the LT1 lights? As in, switching from the set of bulbs I have now, to the bulbs and wires from an LT? Or can i just put the current bulbs into the LT tails? I coullllllld use the search button but I'd rather hear from you guys! Thanks!

I did the sequential to my LT1 tails, I cant remember the wiring for them but it wasn't hard since the LT1 uses 1 socket for tail/turn/brake/hazard but your ls1 will need to splice the brake and turn together I think.
