I know its off topic but Blackbird how do you like your G8 GT? That thing looks great in that color.

 

I think its looks great

 

they are 97-02 lt1 started the trend
taillight plugs are a little different,so a taillight harness would be easier to work with from the 97-02 you will also need to run a wire from the brake light switch to the taillight harness(blue wire)
THIS IS NOT A DIRECT BOLT ON SWAP!

 

The birds are a direct swap. Camaros are not as 96lt1m6 just stated.

 

At least someone said it

 

I bolted a set from my buddies 2001 WS-6 in my 1994 T/A and they fit, also the T-Tops fit, the diffrence is the trim peice is a little diffrent, but not by much, you have to see them side by side or have a good eye to see the diffrence in the trim.

 

97+ lights look ghey

 

i traded my 97-02 lights for 93-96 lights they look beter and flow with the rear of the car + it dosnt have the ugly orange

 

Installing 97+ Camaro Tail Lights on a pre 97!

by Shady ( shady@shadeofday.com ) http://www.shadeofday.com/

This past week, I installed a set of 97's brand new with wiring harness and lights on a 95Z.

1. Remove the camaro panel between the lights.
a. open rear hatch, pull interior carpet from back side towards front of car, then you'll find the panel nuts and lens nuts
b. first loosen the (2ea)rear taillight (large plastic) nuts but don't remove the lens just yet.
c. now remove the 4 10mm nuts, 1 on each farside and 2 in the middle section near latch.
d. once all of these 8 nuts are removed, pull the lens and panel off of the rear of the car, set the panel on the floor or nearby table, allowing the lens' to hang by the wiring.
e. there is a small rubber grommet on the driver's side that the taillight harness goes through. look on the driver's side interior and find where the harness plug coming from the front connects. disconnect the plug, also remove the grounding screw located on the inside (latch in the middle)
f. pull the old harness and grommet out. Reinstall the newer harness and reattach the grounding wire (from the new harness), the plug, and the grommet (also on the new).
g. don't reassemble yet.

The problem with the 93-96 models is, they have only 4 wires whereas the newer 97-2000 models have 5. The 5th wire is light blue and connects directly to the stop lights. The older harness coming from the front of the car will connect to the newer harness (lens), but it is missing the light blue wire, also the connector in the plug. The plug looks like it has an empty hole. The brake switch on the 93-96 models run to the turn signal switch (which controls the blinker while braking), cutting this wire does not affect hazards or turn signals.

2. Rerouting the brake light wiring.
a. remove the shroud undernieth the steering wheel (lower dash), locate the light blue wire coming from the brake switch. Cut the wire about 2 inches from the switch and run a new wire from the switch side down the length of the car to the plug in the rear. Either attach a connector (PITA) inside the plug, or simply cut the light blue wire on the newer harness and connect.
i. reinstall the Camaro panel while (a friend helps here) installing the newer lens' and all of the nuts.
h. reinstall the lower dash panel.

Sit back while a friend pushes on the brakes and hits the blinkers, your done!





MERRY CHRISTMAS
