91-92 GTA tail light swap

Will tail lights for this year just bolt up to my 89 formula? I am not concerned about the wiring, i can figure that out. I am not sure if the bumper is different.

Thanks

I've been looking for a set for a year and a half myself, so i went to the dealer....the pair will run me $600 dollars. Nice chunk of change for some lights...damn....its like i have dollar bills comming out of my @$$. The dealers are waaaay too expensive...but at least they would include the harness, etc. I'm gonna try the thridgen junkyards.

guys, there are no such thing as GTA taillamps.... they are just 91/92 Trans Am taillights. Try www.tacreationsusa.com and www.camaroheaven.com.

Phantom,I actually ended up buying two different sets to end up with one nice set.One lens on each pair was cracked.I think I have around $300 in total.But they do look great.

Steve86,

Wow, they DO look really really good. 300 isnt bad considering they want 650/set from the dealer new. I will definetly have to find a pair for my 86. They look awesome
