i dont get the thing with the ls1 lights... they have the ugly yellow piece and the lines dont line up. Everyone dumps on the stock yellow front corner lights in favor of clear corners.

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

Lt1 style are nicer by far.

yup you just bolt them on. The only diffrence is with the lt1 camaros the entire bottom of the light was lit up. On the ls1's it is not b/c of the amber part. I remember someone saying how to fix that problem. There looks like there is another opening for a wire in the ls1 harness I might just splice a wire from the other light thats a constant and run it tommrow.

this question is inaccurate as the 97 LT1 Camaro had "LS1" taillights

but in any event i prefer LT1 TRANS AM taillights

I just grabbed a pair from someone on here and I'm gonna VHT the red to compliment my Berger panel... The whole wiring harness part sucks tho, I can't find any LT1 harnesses so the bottom will stay lit up ...

I like the stock yellow front corner lights and i also like the ls1 tailights better, so those got my vote.Lt1's don't look that bad though I guess.
