I actually like the LT1 tail lights, though the 98s+ have grown on me. LT1 back tail lamps look awesome at night, I also would like to leave them on so people know an LT1 did you in 
IT just sucks that the plastic seperated and makes them look like *** hole.

I'm kinda partial to the honeycomb myself, having had ample opportunity to see them on my friends '02 anytime we go driving.
That, and every LT1 pair I've seen has the grid stuff seperating from the taillight and it looks like absolute ***...I'm waiting for mine to do the same.

Everyone seems to like the ambers more than the all-reds, but I personally find the ambers ugly, and you can't beat all-red's look at night

they are talking about the designs in the LT1 lights that look like # or = seperates making them look old and worn out.
for your problem, i suggest looking for broken brackets or lose screws.

Honeycombs Myself I have a 93 TA and had the same problem with the separating of the pieces. I like the I honeycombs more for the nostalgia. My first car was a 69 firebird, luckily also had a Chevy 350, and my best friend had a 70 that had the honeycomb wheels. I also like the back up lights with the projector style lens. Just my personal preference.

I think the honey combs look good- but I do like the LT1's better. Both of my tailights are looking very dilapidated...and I may go honeycoms just cuz they are alot cheaper to find in good shape.

The wing nuts that hold them on are either not all on or not doing their job. i.e stripped. http://transam672.tripod.com/ That first pic of my car you can see the tail light internaly seperating. I have more pics if needed.

wing nuts that very well could be true. last time i had to change a bulb on the right i left the nut off the very most outside stud so i would not have to take the spare tire out again. that is the side the separated and the other side still looks great. even though it hangs on the wall of my garage since i went to the honey combs.
