Will Sunbird tails work on a cavalier? If so can they just be plugged up or is there any annoying wiring to do?
I am pretty sure they are plug and play.

They are in good condition except the one on the right is a little loose from the gasket which makes water come in, I wish lol but my parents will be wondering where my tailights went and I'm starting college soon. There are mad Sunbirds in the junkyard so I'll just pick some up from there. Thanks anyway though

I'm not so sure of that, sunbirds have a separate turn signal bulb I believe. Also, if it's not a plug and play going from sunbird to cav tails then you'd think it woundn't be going from cav to sunbird
transfocus is right.
If you want to use the sunbird's seperate turnsignal bulb then you need to run a new wire from the dash to the tails to run the brake filaments, and then move the turn signal/brake wire from the cavy harness to the sunbird tail turn signal socket. Then you need to cut the brake wire that runs to the turn signal stalk in the cavy.
If you don't care about using the sunbirds seperate turn signal then you can just insert the cavy socket into the taillight and forget it, you'll only have 1 bulb doing everything just like on the cavy tails before.
The light housings themselves will physically go right in, but you also need to swap the inner panel and the fiberglass strip that is under the middle section/outer tails. The sunbird lights are taller.

Oh yeah I was wondering about that strip in between the tailights on the Sunbird I've always thought that was part of the car, so when you swap the inner pannel and that one fiberglass strip how will it fit if it's taller? or do you mean use the Cavalier's fiberglass strip or is there even a strip? Lastly since it's one bulb doing everything is this street legal?

you'll need to swap the fiberglass bottom pieces from the sunbird along with the tail lights. The cavy piece is too thick and the lights wont fit. The strip is just held on with some screws on the trunk and a nut under the outer lights.
And its street legal to run 1 bulb in the cavy tails so i don't see why the sunbird ones would be any different.
Ah ok thanks alot, so the middle part of both the sunbird and cavaie are just reflectors w/ the exception of the backup/white light?
Oh! But you need to find a place to put your license plate, and you need to run the license plate lights to that location.
Ah forget it lol after I heard the license plate bit that's just too much wiring, I was thinking about just using the corners but keeping the middle part of the cavalier but I guess it wouldn't look too good, but I swear I've seen it done like that before.
the sunbird tails are a little bit bigger than the cavi
