I like the LT1's, I didn't rewire anything I like it better with only 1 of the back lights lighting up.

Making the whole light light up like this on mine:



All i did was tap into the low filament wire (middle one) on the main taillight socket and run a wire to the empty slot (middle one) on the turnsignal socket. So now the blinker stays on low filament too. It looks wayy better than just having the corners lit up, and it was really easy too.

The lines on ls1 lights dont even line up right, the lt1 style do.

Lt1 style are nicer by far.

LT1 tail lights look good on NBM LS1 Camaros. Thats about the only time I'd switch back to them.

It is so easy it is stupid! The hardest part in doing this is removing the spare tire to get the tailights off. Follow Jackson's instructions and it's cake.

I just did mine in 5 mins. Here is my halfassed write up.
Look for the brown wire that is labled B on the harness. Now look at the light the harness that was used as a turnsignal on your ls1 lights. There should be an empty slot labled B with a green stopper in it. Pull the stopper out. Inside you will see a very small wire. Get a spare peice of wire you prob have laying around the garage and place it in the hole making sure that the new wire is making a good contact with the wire in the harness. After you get the wire in the hole make sure to put a good amount of blacktape around the socket to makesure its not gonna come out. Now you need to go back to the other light and either cut the wire labled B that is brown or carefully peel the insulation off using some pliers. ( This is what I did). Then you need to take the other end of the wire and and just wrap it around the Brown wire. And your done Make sure to blacktape this wire too. I am assuming you know to strip the wires so I left that part out

Turn the headlights on and smile.

Wiring is not my thing at all either, but this was easy. Just follow smg's instructions and you are golden. The only things i did differnt was I used one of them scotch lock splicers to tap into the main socket wire. Then i got another GM socket from the parts store (for like 3-4 bucks) and took it apart and used one wire out of that for each of my tail lights. Next i pulled the turnsignal socket apart. Then pulled the stopper thing on the turnsignal socket, and put the wire i got from the parts store plug in its place. That way it has a factory style connector for the end of the wire. Then snap the turnsignal socket back together and put the other end of the wire in the scotch lock and clamp it down. Makes for an easy install and no wire stripping!

Sounds kind of confusing in writing but once you look at it, its easy to understand. I can get some pics if you want.

You should take pics of your set-up b/c I am sure it looks a little nicer than mine. We could make a final draft of our write-ups and get it a sticky. It's a pretty common question and no one really ever answered it. They just beat around the bush.
