Nicely done! I really like the darker look it has, compared to the original lights.

if you back up away from the car, it also looks wider...i thik its kinda weird, but that is a BIG improvment over the stock tailights

looks good man
i've always been a big fan of the ta lights over the firebird ones.. makes it look like more of a unique car.

im just lucky that i bought a trans am so i didn't have to do any switching

nicely done buddy.

now, just spend another $65.00 and you can have the truely custom look by adding sequential turn signals to them.

yea i swiched the blinker lights. all you do is cut off the old turning signal lights (the only lights that look diffrent/largest) and connect the Trans Am lights.... but i had a problem at first i put the wrong bulb in... the light wouldnt blink. but i just took the bulb off the trans am and it worked

I did the same mod. I used the original wiring harness, just taped off the two 5W bulbs on each side that would normally be night time running lights and put the blinkers in the outermost lenses.

Here's a pic of my harness from my Formula--they were re-wired for the T/A lights(85-89 style)--you might be able to see the splices in it.
