98 tails to 93-96 tails....Help!

I sold my altezza tails lights and was wondering what needs to be done to switch to the 93-96 tails on my 98 camaro. Do i need the wiring harness of the 93-96 car or can i use the one thats already on my car and just splice wires....?

You can rewire yourself. I have a writeup. It was a webpage I had, but isn't currently working. If you want, I can e-mail it to you. it's a basic walkthrough with pics of what you have to rewire to make the lights work the same as the pre '97 cars.

Hey, email me your write up too, I hate my 99 tail lights.
Actually I hate any tail lights that have that orange/yellow turn signal color.

Send me your e-mail addressed. The board won't give it to me.

I'm e-mailing you right now;)

I hey i would love to see that diagram. I sent you an email....

I sent it a couple days ago. I will try and resend it.

So they function differently? Could you just plug the lights in and use it as is? Or would it look dumb?
I'm asking because I recently bought some. (I'm awaiting their arrival).

Yes, the 97+ taillights have an amber bulb for the turn signal and the red lens for the brake light. The 93 - 96 light use 1 bulb for the brake and turn signal. The writeup I did converted the 2 seperate bulbs so that it works like the older single bulb type. I went a step further and added the wiring for 3 dual fliment bulbs, so the whole thing lights up when you press the brakes, instead of just the center bulb.

Great.
I bought my Camaro with the stock tails. I too can't stand the amber. So I bought Altezzas, which I think look tacky now.

Could you send me the write up?

I just replaced them plain and simple no rewiring and they work fine, they just dont light up exactly the same as the lt1's do, but I don't think its a big deal.
