  • 97 tail light swap

    Ok...so this may be a stupid question, but I really don't know a whole lot about cars other than basic maintenence. I own a 97 Firebird (obviously) and I was wondering if I could swap out my taillights with a 98 (or later)? Are they compatible, or is it more difficult than that? I really like the honeycomb pattern on the newer cars. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

    Lots of people do the swap because they like the honeycombs better. To my knowledge it is just plug and play with the wiring then bolting them up.

      The honeycomb taillights from the newer FBs are compatible. The swap is very easy. I did this last year with my 95.

        yes, you just pull the carpet back in the trunk, undo all the plastic wing-nut thingys, slide the taillight assemply out, disconnect the bulbs from the housing and put them in the new honeycombs, then bolt the new taillights in place.
