i want to get the right ones. i haev an 86 firebird. anyone know the best place to get them?

 

I assume you mean tail light blackouts. GTS Makes them, you can get them from summit racing.

yeah i did mean tail lights...sorry shoulda been moer specific. that is for the whole tail light assembly right?

 

a blackout isn't a tail light assembly, just a tinted plastic cover that goes over the tail lights

 

yeah its a cover...but i meant it covers the whole thing. im not so good at talking today. beeen a loooong weeeek ..mid terms at school kill me

 

get a set of 91-92 t/a lights instead. your either gonna get your lightcovers stolen or the cops are gonna bust your ***** all the time. its just a reason to be pulled over.

 

Newb question, but what's the difference? Are there any pics you can show me?

 

i think the 91-92 come smoked......?

someone correct me

 

Just to clarify:

1991/1992 Firebird Trans Am Tail Lights:


1991/1992 Firebird & Formula Tail Lights:

 

These GTA lights above cost a fortune and are quite rare. You would be better served going with something prior to 1990:



These can be had at a junk yard for under 150.

 

I dont understand how they are rare. Im not disagreeing with you, I just don't understand how something like this becomes rare like it is.

 

Well, they only made these lights on the 91-92 GTA's and possibly Trans Ams. Considering that I have always heard these lights called "GTA lights" I would guess we're limited to the number of GTA's that were built in 91 and 92. The build numbers for the GTA is under 3500 for both years combined. If the TA also had these lights then the number is obviously higher but still not over 10K of them would be around. Considering the cars that are still around are keeping these lights on the cars, finding a set from a salvage yard is hard.

Just try locating a set. Notice what is being asked for them. If you find some, let me know.

 

i would say they are expensive would 91-92 gta tail lights fit an 86 trans am not GTA, these are 2 piece, and mine came in 3 piece.... thanks....

yes all the lens are interchangable.... im trying to find those lights for my 91 trans am convertible and they came on the 91/92 Trans am.... i can get a set for 200 bucks

 

You can order them practiacally anywhere. autozone, i got my set from advance auto parts. jegs, summit, classic industrys, year one, paddock, ebay, amazon. your choices are endless.

 

not nessacarily. ive had mine on for 12 years and never got bothered once.

 

nice z28 u have there btw

 

who?

 

I had the taillight covers on my Iroc for a few years and never got bothered with them on at night. The only problem I had is that they flew off a few times.

 

I used plasti dip lol I like how it looks and if you get pulled over it peels off. if you want some pics ill post them

 

Ive been trying to see what the plasti dip looks like actually.

 

ill post pics tonight of what it looks like during the day and at night

 

heres the pic of the plasti dip tail lights during the day. no lights are on in the pic. when I brake people can still see the lights. ill get some nights pics up later tonight

 

Heres the pics at night with the lights on

 

Where did you get the dip? And can you control the darkness if you do the dip?

 

I bought it at home depot and I know ace sells it to. The more coats you put on the darker it will be. I put 3 coats and I'm happy with it

 

Wow, Looks really good! Convinced me to try it.

 

for 6$ cant go wrong lol

 

Definitely not. Even if I dont like it thats not much more then a gallon of gas spent right?
