This was just an idea. I want LED tail lights, but not just the bulbs. I hate aftermarket lights, but thought of getting the led tail lights and swapping my 93-97 covers onto the led ones, of course after fabbing up the corrections to make the reverse light functional. WHat do you guys think? I'm talking about the led tails thegreatschlotzky has.

Re: LED tail light thought...
I have the aftermarket ones that are blacked out now. I gave up on the 93-96 covers because of the way the optics are formed onto the lens that effectively dissipates the light for incandescent (omni-directional) lights, but thoroughly destroys LED (directional) light.
Also, the oven trick doesn't work for the tail lights, it just melts the lenses while the glue stays rock solid. The headlights are made to withstand the heat, the tail lights just go limp. The only way to use the 93-96 covers would be to sand smooth the inside, but that would pretty much ruin the effect. -
Re: LED tail light thought...
Eh, it was an idea that sounded easier than accomplished. I like the stock ones but wanted led technology.#1:1999 pewter metallic y87 rs A4 camaro.check out the pics on the link below<br />#2:Bright red 1979 Pontiac Trans Am.

Re: LED tail light thought...
Your tail lights do look good GR8 , I like the LED's but I'm statisfied with the ones I got. If I had the extra cash I would get them, I see them going down in price.Originally posted by TheGr8Schlotzky View Post08' L76 6.0L 4X4 Chevy EXT.Cab LTZ Vortec MAX with Snug top cover, Dynomax exhaust,Hptuners& K&N intake

Re: LED tail light thought...
If you're still going to go through with it, my biggest suggestion is to use optics for your LEDs, and good ones.Comment
