If I do decide to go through with it, I'll be sure to follow Brents directions. Thanks for posting that link......I completely forgot it was there,......and that's usually one of the first places I look for swapping things out. I've never seen a more complex fix-it guide than his.

Well, after reading that tutorial, I realized that this is actually a very easy Modification to do. It's just that when you hate wiring as much as I do, even the smallest jobs seem difficult.......so, that's exactly what I was looking for.
Now I just have to make sure this is actually what I want to do. I definitely like the look of the 97+ tail lights better.......but I've also been thinking seriously about doing the Sequential Turn Signals. If I decide to do that, then I need to keep the 96 tails. HHHHHMMMMM.......decisions decisions.
So,.....do I want to have my tail lights look a certain way most of the time,.....or do I want to have something very different than everyone else, and keep the same look the rest of the time? I'm definitely gonna have to do some serious thinking about this one.
Here's those turn signals I'm talking about:www.bfranker.badz28.com/fbody/sequential.htm (There's actually a better way to do this mod that involves a chip from another site, but I posted this just to show the picture of what they look like)
I kinda like the idea of having something that nobody else around my town has.

Well, my plans sort of changed.

So I think instead of having the same thing as the majority, for now, I'm going to go ahead and install the Sequential Turn Signals in my LT1 Taillights. I was in kind of spending mood today, so I ordered the EuroLight Conversion Kit, the Whiteface Glow-Gauges (the kind that the whole face glows blue), a Carbon Fiber Gauge Bezel to go over the top of it, a different style of clear corners, and finally the Sequential turn signals.
Heres a link to there site: http://www.signalwavelights.com/main.html
I've got my Ground FX going on next Tuesday, and my 3000W Sound System going in next Friday, so hopefully I'll start getting these other things shortly after. I'm trying to get all these other little things done to it, so that in a couple weeks I can finish it off with the paint. That's the plan anyway.

They're Euro Diamond Clear Corners and they're 3 months old. I paid $29.00 for them shipped. They have the Sylvania Silverstars in them, which will come with them.....those were $19.99. That's like $49.00 for what I paid, but I'll sell them to you for $25.00 shipped if you want them. It will cost me at least 5-8 bucks to ship them, so 17-20 bucks for the lenses and the bulbs is a pretty good deal,.....let me know either way.
Here's some close ups of them: (scroll down when you get to this page.)
