New tail lights? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So does anybody know what's a good choice for some new tail lights. I absolutely hate the orange blinker along with any and all tail lights that have orange blinkers. I mean I'm ok with orange turn signals on the front but on the tail lights, orange blinkers suck. So does anybody know of any red/clear tail lights for the back of the fourth generation, preferably LEDs?

the earlier 4th gens only had red lights, maybe you could adapt those lenses for the later 4th gen that had the orange signal lights.
I am sure some aftermarket companies have replacement lights you could use.
Look at this google search

I'm thinking about something along the lines of the red clear led lights or the smoke led lights that car id has

Check out carid.com, if you see anything you like find the same on ebay for a cheaper price, and they will price match.

Oh I didn't know that, that's awesome

I actually like Amber Turn signals, but I have to agree on the 4th Gen Camaro they just don't look right, I would think the bulb setup would retrofit for the earlier all red ones.

Yeh they more than likely would, I just prefer led ones though, nowadays. Those lights from the early 90s are old now, and out of style imo.

The Amber directionals were actually a Asian/Euro thing, I can recall first US use on the the '78 LeSabre, & possibly the Mid '70's Ford Granada's.
Some of the packages on the '79+ Camaros, featured these which I always thought looked good.

The tri-color lenses look a bit chopped up the way they configured the lamp arangement, '97 & up 4th Gens I think.

I posted in a new post but any retrofit LED lamps for these that use the existing lenses?

there are some nice retrofits for the 3rd gen. The only stockish tail light that looks good to me is the ones on the LT1 camaro. The only way I'd have kept my stock tail lights is if I VHT'd them

i think the the lights from 93-96 are the best. i think all the aftermarker ones look ricerish. i blacked mine out and i think they look really good. i blacked out everything but the my fog lights and headlights
