I think the 97+taillights are Fuggin ugly. If I bought a newer Z28, I would look for tailights of a 93-96 in good shape. I have GTS's, so it makes little difference.

problem is on LT1's teh blinker is also a running lamp meaning it is on all the time when yourheadlight switch is. So on LS!'s they blinker is on constantly.

I had to fix mine so they would work with the 97+ taillights..

You have to buy a ls1 or 97 + tail light harness, then run a wire from your break light switch under your break pedal to one of the extra wires on the new harness.

I fould a write up on camaroz28 or here, its been over a year since i had to do mine, sorry for the lack of detail
