clear taillights for 96 z-28

I wanting to know if anybody has ever made clear clear taillights for my 96. I have looked all over and seen some for almost every type of car but the camaro, which would be the best for a real "muscle" car, only has euro tails for it. What I'm excatly looking for is black housing with clear caps the one i have to put red bulbs in.

Re: clear taillights for 96 z-28

did you just say that clear tails are the best lights for a real muscle car?... I wish you listed a location on your profile so I could come over and slap you.

For the record I am NOT a fan. BUT I am here to help and be helped by fellow F-Body lovers, not dictate style so I found the closest things you will find for you.

First, to set the record straight, these are my tail lights:



Here's a few options for you (from best to worst IMO):

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/93-01...25108766QQrdZ1



http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/93-94...24602647QQrdZ1



http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/98-99...25247653QQrdZ1

The last three are the same, just different manufacturers and prices. Is this what you were looking for?

Re: clear taillights for 96 z-28

Funny part is that aside from the first one, all of those are identical, just used different lighting and angles to make them look different. I have the first one, myself. Mine are the carbon fiber TYC euros. They looked good, but the lense looks cheap when the sun hits it. I then used nightshades on mine so I get the best of both worlds: smoked during the normal time, and then aftermarket when the bulbs are lit.

Re: clear taillights for 96 z-28

Thanks for the info, but I'm kind of trying to stay away from Euros. I like the look but my thinking is the Camaro is a true muscle car, even this generation so I'm really looking for old school style with plain ones that I have to put the red bulbs in, kind of like these ones on ebay for the s10.

Or like these.

My Z28 is white with the black top and I have already bought JDM black turning signals for the front, so I'm trying to stick with the white and black theme. And as for the late response I was on vacation for the New Year with my family, so I had no way of communication except for a freakin' Nextel cell phone.

Gotcha, never seen any that fit that description.

You may have to buy a set that looks as close as possible and modify it to look like you want.

Cool Re: clear taillights for 96 z-28

Thats what I thought. I figure in the long run I could find a set of black euros, and take time to pull it apart and pull the red lenses out, but I probably will stick with my covers for now.
