Corvette tail lights for a 3rd gen.
Hey all, I have set of kinda rare Corvette tail lights that fit a 3rd gen. Anybody know anything about these like who made them or how much they're worth? I think I'm gonna sell 'em. -Mike

Re: Corvette tail lights for a 3rd gen.
I don't think they are popular at all but if youre patient you may find someone who will pay something for them, I wouldnt expect to be flooded with high bids though.

Re: Corvette tail lights for a 3rd gen.
you can still buy them on ebay, but they have 2 holes per side not 3

Re: Corvette tail lights for a 3rd gen.
That is the first set I've seen for 6 lights instead of 4.

They are "rare" for a reason......

Re: Corvette tail lights for a 3rd gen.
They were 4 lights and are modded for 6 lights. Don't worry, I'm not using them on my IROCs I took 4 of the shades off for my Corvette. I have this former show car I've been parting out....... Uhg, Ya had to see it to believe it........

Re: Corvette tail lights for a 3rd gen.
I've seen the ZR1 panel for Camaros and I thought it actually looked pretty decent. That...I'm not so sure about the one that's on your car right now.

Re: Corvette tail lights for a 3rd gen.
I saw a car in a mag 15 years ago that had that tail light conversion done.

Never really took off.

Probably best.

Leave it on the vette.

Re: Corvette tail lights for a 3rd gen.
I'm not using them. I am going to sell them. Probably on Ebay. Does anybody know who made these? It would help to list them so that if anybody is looking for them they'll be able to find them. Company name ? Anything ?

Re: Corvette tail lights for a 3rd gen.
So, No one has a manufacturer's name ? No Idea who made these ? They're going on ebay tommorow. It would be a help if I had a name. Somebody might be looking for a set of these.......

Re: Corvette tail lights for a 3rd gen.
Hey guys, I got these listed up on Ebay. I got alot of PMs' from folks on here about these lights. Nobody was asking to buy them though... LOL !!!

Anyway they're item # 280402038108 If anybody cares to follow the auction and wants to see what they go for. It would be a shame to just send them to the boneyard. -Mike
