I'm not sure you'll be happy with the way it looks in five years (or sooner). If it is something you really want to by all means go ahead and get some round tail lights, you could use Corvette ones, Ferrari ones, Nissan GT-R ones...

It's already been done a few times and looks awkward imho. Tyler did it on 50/50 and is now changing it because it looks dated. I think you have to be very careful changing a 69 body, GM got the styling right on them.

I agree . It may look cool today but in a few years it might look out of place.Good luck.And do what makes you happy.

opel manta lights would be more period but may be too big



gtr are nice,



Fiat coupe

I think the tail needs thin wide lights rather than round
