Not to hijack, but I've been looking for some kind of after market replacement tails. The only thing is, I don't like that whole Euro altezza garbage look, just something a little different than the factory look. Maybe that places the bulbs in a different arrangement. I haven't found anything though.

I've also been looking for a kit to convert the motorized headlight into something more like what the Camaro's have, but the only thing I found costs $1000

The Camaro and Firebird Taillights are a different shape. They are not interchnagable. See the link below for another idea.

Its a Camaro, but its and idea:

What color is your Firebird?

Mine's black and I have blackouts:

Here is an idea I had for a one-piece blackout:

(That is an edited picture, it is not real)

The blackouts are made by AutoVentShade (AVS). They are available at most auto parts stores for $40-$45. They might not be on the shelf (the Camaro ones usually are), but the store can order them (no shipping charge to you) and they'll be in in 3 days.

Mine's silver. I like the looks of those tail light blackouts on your car, but I don't know if those are legal here.
