Got standard taillights on my 82 Firebird. I need to change rear indicators to amber (European car have to have amber indicators to be road legal). I know that the Formula cars had these mulitcoled tailLights. I know that there is probably a fair bit of work in changing the wiring around. Will formula lights fit my 82 Firebird V6?. Were the same taillights used on Firebirds from 82 to 92?.

Any help appriecated,

It's not that bad... At least, I have a set of 1984 standard firebird tail lenses that I have put in my 1988 firebird (with the amber directionals) at one point.. There is a little bit of wiring alteration, but the lights themselves bolt in with no issues... I would imagine going the other way (1986-92 lenses into 82-85) would not be any different...

 

You'll need either 85-92 Firebird (and Formula) taillights...

 

...or 91/92 Trans Am Taillights. They are very hard to get though, especially in Europe. The wiring is a little different so try to get the wiring harness with them.

 

Yep, the 91-92's are my favorite.
I've got mine coming. can't wait to see them on the car.

 

Lucky you you stole them from me j/k my friend was bidding on that set for me and then when i noticed that looked like your name i was about to say bid like 250 or 260 and see what happens but i remember you wanting them for awhile, so we kinda gave up, i hope they look great! better post some pics


i think i found a set or two to chose from roughly like 275 bucks.

 

Thanks,
I was getting worried there for a bit, didn't want the price to go up to high. I can barely afford what I got them for.
I've been wanting to get these lights for 3 years.
I'll definately have pics up when I get them.

Sorry for taking over your thread Gerry.
