Will these fit my '94? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/98-01PONTIAC-FIREBIRD-REAR-BUMPER-LIGHTS-BLACK_W0QQitemZ190317925107QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMoto rs_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item2c4fd512f3&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&_trkparms=65%3A12|39%3A1|72%3A1171
It says 93-02 Camaro but 98-01 Firebird. I didn't know there was a difference in the 4th gen LT1/LS1 back ends besides tail lights.
I have a red T/A that I will be putting black lenses on.

They should work, there are no differences.

Word of warning: I tried these same ones and was not pleased. For one, they are not as black looking as they seem in the picture. The lens is more of a white instead of completely clear, and the viewing angle affects how much of the black back you can see. Also, they seem to be very poorly manufactured. There's almost a curvature (instead of being flat) to them and they will eventually separate in half, allowing moisture in. If you do get them, please be sure to silicone the edge.

I definitely planned to seal the edges regardless of what manufacturer. My pass. side parking lens is a mess and keeps blowing bulbs due to moisture. This is the reason for the upgrade and I don't want it to happen again :)
Anyway, that sucks about the corners. I may just end up niteshading my current lenses in the back. I really appreciate your input. Do you have pics of the lenses on your car?

I thought I had sealed the edge when I originally put them in. Had to take them back out twice, but I was obviously not doing it well enough. I eventually had to put a bead of silicone around them once installed in the car. Looking through all of my pics, it seems I have every angle of the car except one that shows the side markers. I'll get some for you tomorrow when it's light out.

I considered that method too. All of my other lighting are smoked, or black w/ the clear lens, so I was trying to stay consistent. NiteShading always works too though.

In hindsight, I probably should have dried the car a bit before taking the following pic. This is sunny without flash:

I went out later when it wasn't as wet and took one around dusk with flash:
