Is it true that the checkered taillights only came on the Irocs??
I am pretty sure that the checkered lights came in 85 or 86 for all Z28's? but I am having an arguement with a guy who swears they are "iroc tailights"
They were used on all 85-87 Z28's, all the Irocs and every Camaro from 91-92 including the RS's.

Yeah they came on the 91-92 RS's,instead of just on the '85-90IROCs and '85-87 91-92Z28s.

Question: Did EARLY '91 RS's have the "non-checkered" tail lamps? The reason I ask is because I have a 5/90 Motor Trend test of an RS vs a Mustang 5.0 LX, and there is a rear shot of the RS in which it clearly has the earlier tailamps.
