Default Tail light harness?

Do the ls1 TA and camaro share the same tail light harness?

No, their lighting is completely different. The Firebird has three bulbs - two for brake/turn signal/running lights and one that is just for running lights. Camaros have one brake/running light, one running light only, and a separate turn signal.

Why do you ask??? There are very inexpensive ways to replace harness parts without having to go for an entirely new harness. (I just replaced all of the fittings and socket inserts on mine.)

the reason why I ask is because I can get a really good deal on a camaro tail light harness...

I know you can replace sockets and harness parts separately and I know it can be done properly and be just as good as factory(Because I do it on customers cars every day) .... but Im a little OCD when It comes to my cars so I want to replace the whole harness....

So am I. Do you have access to GM wiring tools? In addition to the socket parts, you can also purchase the connectors and seals - just crimp them on to the wires. This avoids splices and replaces everything except for the wires. Buying the crimps and parts separately is a lot less expensive than a pigtail. If you replace with another used harness, how is that any better than what you have?
