Firebird Taillights Question Will '98+ honeycomb taillights directly bolt on to a '94 Firebird? If so, is there any difference in wiring? Will I need some adaptor piece? I've seen it done before, so I know it's possible...

wow! really? it's just a direct-fit replacement? no drilling/cutting? no soldering/snipping of any wires? that's amazing! are you guys sure about this? by the way, it's not for my car... it's for my cousin's '94 firebird (V6). that won't make a difference, will it?

Yea. It's BS isn't it? When I first saw the price, I was like WHOA! EBay has a few listed for about $50.00-$75.00 cheaper. That's still expensive though, in my opinion.

but listen!!! Watch the stripping when u remove the oem tails, and when installing the new honeys... cuz water can get in the damn honeys and fog up the lens inside...it haappnd to me...lol. Inspect ur honeys as well, check for small cracks or defects in the seal around the lens..just a word of advice which I should have taken in the past

The reason most LT1 lights for Trans Ams cost more from salvage / junk type lots is that they usually base their prices not on demand, but on the factory cost cut in half or close. Usually one salvage yard isn't going to have enough experience with each little part on each type of car to know how to price them any way besides using the factory replacement cost. If you can get them for anything less than half the OE cost mentioned above you're getting a great deal.
