just curious, has anyone tried to or sucessfully swapped tail lights from a fourth gen into a thirdgen? i know people have done 'Vette tail light conversons, but what about fourth gen f body tails?

 

that would be a ridiculous amount of custom work, and i don't even know that the taillights would fit with the lines of the car.

you'll notice that 99.9% of custom taillight jobs stick with a simple taillight design, for a reason.

 

true true.....

 

It has been done before. There was a car in hot rod I think, that was custom all the way. It was blue. All I have is an engine shot and interior. I will post the interior to help jar some memories and maybe someone can post the exterior pics.

 

Hey I found it. Yay for me.

 

eeh...doesnt look as good as i though....oh well :-/

 

is it just me, or does that interior look more like a bathroom than a car? marble everywhere, soft colors in a sandstone kinda tone....

butt *** ugly tail lights...but i admire the work

 

I remember that car... yuck.. the interior is a modified toyota supra dash and stuff... and those are 4th gen camaro tails, flipped upside down and swapped left/right...

 

eww ya them pics look ugly....I had a question about tail light swaps though...Would tail lights from a later 3rd gen fit in my 83 t/a? you know mine have them lines goin across the light and the later ones look kinda like a grid....I like the newer ones better and wondering if they would fit. But vette tail lights???Custom work to do those im guessing???:hail:

 

The newer tail lights i believe will work in older cars.....

 

i dont know what 4th gens yall have been looking at but those are not 4th gen taillights. they are about the same size and shape but the lenses arent the same,

 

i admire the workmanship but that interior is ridiculous the taillights are ugly too in MHO.

Yea, the lenses are different, but I think they are still 4th gen maro housings.

 

if you look at it closely it looks like they are just stock tail lights with an oval cut out over it- almost like tail light covers that were molded in and painted

 

this is a little off topic, (ok alot off topic) but is that a *** or is it just a butt ugly girl?

 

what about 4th gen firebird lihghts on a 3rd gen t/a???

 

Export spec tail-lights.

 

i donno about you guys, but thoes pics just SCREAM 90s.....

 

Please excuse me while i go throw up.

 

lmao


to anyone that wanted pics of a 4thgen auto center console swap, there ya go.

 

I am sorry but it just looks like a Mazda Miata to me, no go on the tail light onversion

 

if you thought the rear was bad....

 

Yea that look like it was in a head on collision will an ugly wall

 

(no comment)

 

it's patrick swayze with a wig on (look closely!)

Someone have an engine bay shot?

 

Hmm... anyone see that "vent" behind the door? Looks like a newer Mustang type of vent, doesn't it?

 

I like some of the styling cues....like the vent.

And the tail lights, the 4th gen's that were shipped overseas had different lenses that closely resembled those.

 

What I'll never understand is why people change their Firebirds or Camaros so much that they cease to look like Firebirds or Camaros. What did they buy the car for in the first place? GM may have screwed up a lot of things on these cars, but the stying has always been right on.

 

Trans Am tails would look better than the 4th gen camaros lights

 

Ok i could be being retarded but im pretty positive thats a K-1 Kit car. I dont know about the first pic of the interior tho. And im pretty sure that those are there promo pics on their website. I found it on google but got something in a foreign language that i think was saying the website didnt work.

and yes the girl is very...very ugly

and no thats not a 4th gen taillight =)

 

that car is so ugly they cant even get a hot model to stand near it!

 

A: False; it's not.
B: True; she is.
C: False; it is.

 

I am going to have to agree it is 4th gen light just different lenses. Here compare for yourselves.

 

 

Look, if it were easier to find a picture of a 4th gen Camaro in Japan, I'd find it, post it, and we'd be done. Those are export spec tail lights either for Euopean export, Japanese export, or both, I'm a little uncertain of which.

 

Is it definitely real? I mean, does anyone know the car is genuine? Because those rear lights look a little bit photoshopped to me. It looks good, except that the right hand light begins to wrap around the side of the car, but the left one does not. Surely if they were equal you would not see the corner of the left hand lamp because it would be around the side a little....or is it just my eyes?

EDIT : The black 4th gen Camaro is an excellent example of what I'm talking about....notice the far light disappears?

 

So let me get this right fellas; this is not a 3rd gen tail light mounted in this third gen pictured below in Europe;

Let's see, does the color sequence look familiar? OH Yeah, kinda like in thta blue monster... yet oddly shaped like 4TH gen tail lights...

 

i got your back bud...

That does bring up a good point although it might be the way he put them in or different angles in the pictures because i think the car was in a mag.

 

I guess crewracers album tells us the truth. They are 4th gen export tailights. Way to go tpi you knew it all along. Now that is a guy i like that knows his camro trivia or whatnot.

 

wait... know one else knows that the amber lights are export lights? I thought it was just a few of you guys... but there seems to be a lot... wow.

 

Honestly.. I could give a rat's a-- weather they are or not. I didn't mean to ruffle feathers. Just put the 2 together for a comparison shot.

IMO which isn't important whatsoever here, the camaro lights appear to wrap the rear of the 4thgen as the ones in the blue turd burgular appear flat. Weather they are or not would require a different angle shot to prove weather or not they are indeed 4thgen light.

Without the true facts about the rear lamps from the company that did the conversion, it's all speculation from anyone only on the origin of the lamps.

 

Yeah, they are export lights.

ummmm, I believe I was the one to bring it up in the first place

One of my customers is in the military and he bought a Z28 while in Germany. They sent him back here and he brought the Euro-spec car with him. Has the german tags on it too

 

ya know...i almost like the relocated parking lights/turn signals...but not the rest

 

Just get ya 1991-1992 GTA Taillights like I did.
I put em in my 1989 GTA

 

yeah and the cars ugly as hell to

 

lmao
