Nice Tail lights are very hard to come by for those years. I almost mentioned it in your original post about buying the car, but didn't want to rain on your parade.

Part of the scarcity is because the 93-97 units are all delaminating. The 98-02 lens is an easy swap for the older cars. Our 95 Formula's taillights have looked like crap since about 1999.

Almost any year tail lights from Firebird or Trans Am 79-02 are worth a pretty penny. If I see one of these cars in the junkyard dollar signs start dancing in my head. I will actually start walking a bit faster to get to these cars. It is rare to find both without cracks but if I do I know it is going to be a good day.

Tail light housings
They've been stupid expensive shortly after production ended
Fortunately, I bought OE ones for my 94 back back in June 2002 for...$230 pair. Always been a popular mod for 93-97 as base and TA tail lamps are ugly. I find the RH (on my car) develops leak. Even one I bought used, same, and it was more than the original pair. Good luck
