I didn't know if Hammer was talking about the actual lights themselves or the assemblies - as the 94-95's have the horizontal slats and the 96-98's have the vertical slats.

96GTS - I actually like both the Tri-Ax and the Ripper. I got an incredible deal on the B&M Ripper through www.carparts.com so I went with it. Someone described the Steeda Tri-Ax as kind of ratchety which describes it pretty well. It was awesome on the car I drove that had it, though. The Ripper feels awesome and it is definately solid. Anything is better than stock. You'd be happy with either one I guarantee. I haven't changed my gears out yet so when I do that will be the true test. To be honest I think I am going to go with 3:55's. That might sound like a wuss out but the car sees quite a bit of interstate time. I'm not worried about gas mileage i'm just paranoid about engine wear. If I regularly see constant speeds of 75-80 I think i'd be safer with 3:55's as opposed to 3:73's (unless anyone can argue otherwise). I'd love 3:73's but i'm just scared. Anyway, enough rambling and I hope that might have answered your question.
