Tail lights, what year?

My driverside taillight plastic was broken while removing it for primering, and I need to get a new one (cops are starting to notice it) so it's time to hit the salvages.

I have an 86 IROC-Z28, will any year thirdgen camaro tail light fit? If I can't find one to match my other side, I'll try to find a matching pair. I don't care if they are 1986 lights or not, I just want them to both be the same.

I am assuming that I will find one, but if not, how much are new tail lights? (and where would I order them?)

Thanks!

All grid style lights from 85-92 will fit. You can actually replace them with any 82-92 Camaro taillight, but looks should be a priority in your decisions.

I have two different tail lights on mine they are the same with the exception that the passanger side has the black strip down the middle. I will some day replace them both with stock 88 tail lights that have the grid style. Only costs $$$$

Well, I went looking today, and after 3 salvage yards across town in 113 degree weather in Phoenix, I have given up for the day.

Anyone know where I can order some tail lights? Thanks!

If there is a cooler day here in a few weeks I may try again.


Oh, I did find ONE good tail light, and though it wasn't the same style as mine I tried to get it anyway. How the hell are you supposed to open the hatch with no key!? I couldn't crawl inside because there were a few engine blocks in there
