LT1 tail lights or LS1 tail lights...?
Which do you think look better on a Black 2000 Z28? I like how the lines of the LT1 tail lights flow with the hatch and rear. Also, I like how it eliminates that orange strip. Are the harnesses compatiable, and will the blinker function properly without any modifications? What do you guys think?

If you're going with clear or smoked corners, then I'd say LT1 tails (that would look best on a Black Z). They obviously were the original design for the 4th gen rear end which is why they follow the body lines. I'm not a big fan of the import tails. Too much amber, especially if the car has clear corners. I don't understand why guys do that. If you've got amber on the rear, then keep it on the front. And, definitely if you've got import tails… keep the amber corners. If you've got LT1 tails, go with the clear or smoked corners. Just my $0.02

I was thinking of getting the LT1's since I want the clear corners. I wonder how good the LT1 tails, a SS style spoiler (not sure of the stock lift or a slightly larger lift), and a CME setup would look. I will probably go that route.

I never liked the export lights at all. LT1 lights look great but they are not 100% compatable. You'll either need to solder in LT1 sockets or use a dremel to modify the LT1 housing so you can snap in the LS1 sockets. They also won't light up like the LT1s and I don't think that the blinkers will work the same. I think that you'll only be able to make the inner red part blink which would look kinda funny.
