Why do you need them on a car that, in the daytime, are already black? And at night they're not too bright anyways, ?
Unless you like that smoothed look.

Only the T/A's and S/E's had the smoked treatment the base Firebirds were red.

I don't recommend them. I had them on my bird for a few months and then sold them. I too have the red taillights so I wanted the covers to make them look cooler. For the same money you could probably get a set of smoked taillights from a junk yard.

I got rid of them because dirt and other junk gets trapped in between the lense and the ridges in the taillights. Plus the set I had actually was a bit wider than the taillight area and it rubbed on the paint and wore it down to primer.

Just my .02
