i like the ls1 lights more, but the lt1 lights look good too. i can see why the lt1 lights on ur car though, the yellow stands out on the ls1 lights since ur car is red so the red lt1 lights will flow better with ur car

I say the 97+ lights I say 97+ because they started on the 97 LT1 cars. My car is black and had the 93-96 lights on it and they looked pretty good. My buddy with his 97 would always try to talk me into changing but i was about a 49% fan of the 97+ and 51% fan of 93-96 lights. I had always kind of wanted the 97+ lights because the 93-96 lights always dated my car as an older Camaro. Then one night i was driving home on the high way and a 93-96 car passed me i noticed the tail lights looked terrible. They look so badly when they're lit up. They look all blocky and like something out of the 80's. I made my decision that night to decide to swap to the newer tail lights. I still have my old tail lights i'd trade you. I wouldn't mind having a spare set of the newer lights.
