Camaro Europe Tail Lights

I like them, what do you think?

A thread that has been beat to death...but I do love them. Wish I could retro them to mine. I was told early on that it would be damned near impossible to retrofit them to an existing car...I am sure somebody here will prove GM wrong.

I have seen these in person and they are both bright and really add a great look to the rear of the Camaro...the entire Euro rear does, actually.

They are definitely cool! I would swap if I could. There are a lot of haters, though.

It's an easy swap, you'd just need a near rear fascia and a specially made wiring harness. You need the harness because the Europe tail lights behave differently than our american ones. Scratch that - Canadian ones.

I'd do it if it didn't cost much. Haters shcmaters. Who cares. I think it looks good.

BUT, I wouldn't do it just because it was a Euro thing. I'd do it because it was different and would be unique. AND looks good.

If I saw one out on the road I'd definitely give a thumbs up and compliment.

Sorry to be the Debbie Downer of this thread but I really, really do not like them at all.

I'm with you on this one, couldn't be that difficult of a swap, as I can't see GM retooling the whole electrical system just for the lights. I would say the rear fascia on USA version could easily be modified as well!
