Just curious if anyone has ever modified the park light assemblies on the 87-90 Firebirds to have a clear lens or LED lighting? It would really update the look to the front end.

I've seen countless pictures of thirdgens with clear parking lights/signals etc. Just search around and you'll fine some. As for LED lighting? I've seen a thread where a guy converted all of the lights (or at least the taillights from what I remember) in his IROC-Z to LEDs... looked really cool as well as this LED tailight conversion floating around for Firebird taillights. Like I said, just search and you should find it easily.

Thanks, Still haven't found anyone with the front park lights converted to clear lenses from yellow but still looking.

For converting the lens to clear, I'm guessing you already checked Ebay? I got my Camaro corner clears from there.

As for LEDs, there are 2 options. You can do the plug/play with something from Superbrights. Or you can do an all out retro.

Plug/Play= easy to do, but lightout put is not going to be all that great.
Retro = much more difficult to do, but light output will be much better.

On my Camaro, I opened the housings up, and made my own boards and epoxied them into place. I think I have about 20 or so superflux style amber LEDs in each lens. Looks good, but I'm going to have to mess with them this summer. I didn't seal them up all the way, and they are fogging inside.

I also retro'd my rear tail lights, same process. Open them up, and made my own boards with superflux LEDs. I did everything, tail/brake, turn and reverse. These I'm very happy with and they are very unique. I doubt I'll ever see anyone else around where I live with them. They have the instant on look, and the reverse lights are so bright compared to the dim ones that come factory.
