Front check ebay, I have yet to find a set of rears for our cars. The camaro doesn't have a rear sidemarker since the tail lights wrap around the side. I have been meaning to go to the junkyard and mearsure alot of different cars sidemarkers to find the closest thing to the rear and then ordering them and making them work but have yet had the time.

Thats what i did over 4yrs ago with my camaro. The fronts are the same size as 94-97 Accords, so i got a set and put them in. They are still there, never bought the "real" ones for my car. Was the first one around here to do that, and long before Pro Car Parts started to carry them. I would think your rears are really close to the same size. Hope that helps, good luck

Got to thinking about this if anyone know of one that will fit the rear on the birds let me know. I dont' care if I have to modify it to work but no one makes them for the rear of the birds. I have been thinking about shaving the rear one but knowing the ticket traps around here I would get a ticket for it, although I drove it for over 2 years with none of the side lights working after I got the car. I mean the red doesn't look bad but I think it would look better with both white instead of one yellow and one red see pic. If I havent found any by the time I get ready to repaint the car I am going to go to the junkyard and get some dented fenders and cut the hole out of them and weld them into the rear 1/4's to make it where I can run the fronts on the back.
