The difference in harnesses I believe is that on the LT1's the blinker stays on constantly to light up the rest of the bottom red area unlike the LS1's where the amber blinkers are kept off by default.

I like the LS1 versions better. I think they look more updated than the LT1 lights.

Personally though I think the exports look the best and I have owned them on all of my Camaro's. Only downside to them is their price.

me and another member gave step by step directions to do this. It is easy as hell and takes less than 5 mins. If you can strip a peice of wire and remove your tail lights and spare tire you can do it! Look around on page 2 or 3

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.
Works ******* great!

I like the LS1 style better, although I must admit the LT1 style work pretty well with your car.

Well thats not my car, my car is not back together yet but will have exports when I get it back going. mine is white. Also if you don't want the orange in them you can paint them red with translusent paint. someone done that on a set of LS1 lights and they match the red perfect.
