These tail lights will fit ....

... which years?

They are from my son's 91 TA, but I am sure they fit other years. I'm getting ready to sell them and I want to accurately represent them.

Thanks,
Bob

They should fit all years, now if there are enough bulbs is the question.

Those will drop into 90 & earlier & just need the center section. 91/92 have no center section, just 2 wider pieces for lights.

But those have 4 bulbs per side, whereas GTAs (not sure if any others got the "GTA" lights) have 3 bulbs per side

Now I'm confused; these came off of a 91 TA.

Re: These tail lights will fit ....

then those were on the wrong car...they will fit 85-92 firebirds and formula's, and depending on year, the center section was changed (difference of only color, 85-90 had a white bird, 91/92 had a red bird). If they belong on a 91, and it was an actual TA, then it should be a 2 piece tail light set. Do not be confused though, if the car has a body kit identical to the trans am, it does not make it a trans am. There was a sport appearance package on base model firebirds to look identical to trans ams. So not going into too much history, those will fit 85-92 firebird/formula's with the addition of a center section.

maybe this will help you.This car is a 91 t/a.
You notice the taillights look nothing like yours correct? Thats because 91-92
t/a's&gta's only had these lights in the pic.
If yours came from a t/a,someone along the cars life installed base model firebird/formula ones.

Re: These tail lights will fit ....

What may have happened, is that someone replaced the originals with the firebird lights. The taillights seen in the pic above can be hard to find in good cond, and if they are in good cond, they can be really expensive... I know!! LOL
