harnesses fit fine, you just have to file a few more notches in the bulb holes on the housings since the bulb socket pattern is slightly different than the U.S. tail light version.

Like Tony said, it's just some simple alterations of the sockets.
But I highly doubt they're available through GM since they haven't made them since 1996.

i see that the turn signal is where the brake is so how do the bulbs hookup as oposed to the amaircan style...what am i gonna see when the lights are on is any of the yellow gonna be lite up at night

casn i do the fileing with just a heavy duty hand held file and is there a paricular section on the opening that needs to be filed ... i guess im asking if its a particular slot that needs to be filed

i just wanna do this right

Specs? Stick the bulb in, see where its catching/why it doesnt fit, notch a little out w/ a dremel or something, try again. That simple.

Just the lower red portion lights up as the tail light, which gets brighter for brake light.
The upper red portion is a reflector.
Then obviously the white is backup, and amber is turn signal.

If doing this mod on a LS1 car, the small 194 bulb is not used.
I left it in there and just taped it up behind the lense, out of view.

Also please PM me the info about getting them through GM. Thanks.

Yes, but on a 97-up car the small 194 bulb is not used in the export lenses.
93-96s don't have that, and the export lenses were made for those years.

I should be getting my set this week, they are scheduled to be delivered this Thursday. If I have any questions, when I install them with my new Berger panel, I'll be sure to hit you up! Thanks!
