I would prob pay $60 for a perfect set. If your happy with an 8/10 check a junkyard or a swap meet the kid I bought mine off said he got 2 sets for $5. I paid him $20.

I got my first set for $10. But one was melted from taillight covers. I just got another set that were mint for $50. But like smg said, anything over 50-60 is too much.

I will go take pics of my wiring setup tomorrow.

I like the ls1's better although I will agree the LT1's follow the lines better and are cleaner. Just think the ls1's look newer/more modern.

Lt1's look better during the day but I don't like the way they look at night so I stuck with the LS1's

I vote LS1 style. I HATED my LT1's so i traded a guy here for them and each other's harness. LOVE my LS1 tails

the LT1 style just look dim at night and don't light up right. I do like how they flow with the lines better, i'll at least admit that

Even though you can wire the LT1's to blink in order, I still think the LS1's look sooooooo much better. But to each their own.

Peace,
Craig.

I do not know why you guys are trading wiring harnesses.

They are the same. Mine just popped in the 94 tail lights I bought.

I'm confused. Were some different?

I used to have covers on it before but i didn't have them on long as i didn't really like them all that much. Just not my preference on my car.they look good on some others though. Anyway, like on my swap i have a 4 wire harness stock. The '97+ is a 5 wires harness. I had to run a wire to the brake switch under the dash and then they worked like they should. On the '96- i can't be certain what any differences were when it comes to swapping the harness' and if it's necessary.
