I just ordered some. I've been wanting to paint the tails in candy red to cover the amber part anyway so if I don't like the way they look it'll just peel them off.

red as a turning signal isn't permitted in many other countries (canada, mexico, all of europe) thats why there were "export" taillights from 93-96 that have the amber, to get rid of the LT1 years red

it would look goofy but after you red it out you could make it a sequential tail light/turns

I got them in the mail a couple of days ago and just put them on this afternoon. I the ebay ad the seller states that these decals are a perfect fit. I found that not to be true and had to trim them down to fit the amber part of the tails perfectly. No big deal though.

Here's what they look like with the brake lights and flashers on.
