Turn Signals on 85-90 Trans Ams

OK, I have a 91 V6 firebird, and Im interested in getting some 85-90 T/A tailights. On my taillights, you can clearly see the yellow, and thats where it blinks. Where are they located on 85-90 T/As??? Are they on/in the taillight?

Thanks

There is no yellow. The outer red lights flash.

The turn signals flash the same area that are the brake lights.
This is correct for T/As, 82-90.

My brother put 84 taillights in his 91, and the brake lights were the same as mine, but the outer red panel,(the one that is NOT lit-up, in my picture), was his turn signal.

I thought it looked really good, and different at the same time.
(sorry, no pics of his car though)

That's how I did mine, too.

Thanks for the help guys! Any tips on swapping the tailights, or is it pretty straigh forward? Also, how do you get access to remove the taillights?

Thanks
