Re: GTA taillights

If you have the tail lights I think you do.....The wiring & bulbs are different between your car & the GTA lights. Not saying that can't be "fixed"...it can. But it won't be a simple 5 minute R & R of swapping light housings.

Re: GTA taillights

Post a pic of your tail lights & we can go from there. I've seen 5 different sets (so far), of Firebird lights.

Re: GTA taillights

That's what I thought you had.

1157s are single filament bulbs, 2057s are dual filament bulbs....196s are those tiny push in bulbs, like in the rear side markers.

Those have 2 1157 bulbs & 2 2057 bulbs in the red, 2 196s (II believe they are) in the ambers, then then 1157s for Reverses lights.....On 1 side.

GTA lights have 1 1157 bulb, 2 2057 then the 1 1157 reverse ligh bulb (per side).

Converting to GTA isn't all that hard. FYRCHCKEN did the same thing to his, then installed one of my STS units.

By using 91-92 GTA taillights, you will only need to replace the turn signal bulb sockets with 90° degree socket, I used a pair from another pontiac model.

Here is a pic of a 3 wire 90°, if I recall right a 2 wire one was anough.

1 or 2 side marker tipe sockets will no longer be required.

Good luck.

Or go to your local Autozone/Pep Boys/O Riellys, etc.... For the cheaper Dorman 85867.

91/92 TA & GTA lights are the same 2 piece lights, 91/92 Firebird & Formulas are the same 3-piece type.
