I haven't done this myself, But I've heard that it is simple and only requires minor wiring changes to the turn signals.

Ah, I See.

they will physically fit, but the bulbs are different on the LS1 Style.
a quick trip to your local junkyard will have that problem solved in no time.
All you'd need is the bulb holders for the LS1 style.

Can anyone Verify this?
I'm not 100% sure, But I think This would work.

They will work, I've done it. But the bulb socket lock tabs to housing openings line up slightly differently. So with a utility knife, you need to alter the tab openings on the new housings, and/or trim one of the tabs on the sockets a little. You don't need to change your sockets.

I went from 98-02 to 93-97. It was a little more work to convert, but I think it should be easier going the other way around.
