Hi all, I have a 2008 Tahoe and it has Denali tail lights. But, after a few more mods, I wanted to see what it would look like with the original tails [UGLY], and in the process I dropped the right-hand Denali tail light housing. It now has a crack, some scratches, and moisture easily gets in.

I know that it would be cheaper replacing the single tail light assembly, but, I figure this is my only chance that my mom will want to spend money on my car for. She says I can get a new set of tails, but nothing insanely overpriced.

So, being that my Hoe is black, what tail lights do you guys suggest?

I love those, saw them. I'm really wanting to find a picture of them installed on a black Denali, because my Hoe looks a lot like one from behind. :

Only thing newer than what's in this picture is the rear bowtie is now chrome. It goes a lot better with that strip.

Well I sorta take that back. I saw some on a black Escalade when I was at the dealer getting my mirror caps, and they looked neat. I was kinda hoping for something that resembled the Denali ones as they go really well on my Tahoe.

And its really nice to see someone my age here! haha

Whats up guys, thats sick you guys are 16 cause im 18. Anyway you could just black out the tahoe tails and if you dont like that just get new ones. You should throw some 24s on that shit.

I added a system, black bowties, flowmaster exhaust, adding a navigation system, blacking my tails out either today or tomoro, then doing the joey mod to my headlights. Thats just the start. I really want rims and a lowering kit, it came with 20" chrome rims but i wanna go bigger and black it out. Any suggestions for a grille? preferably matte black.

Stick with the Denali lights. They look sooo good.

The Denali lights are cool and all but jas an "older person look to them"
I'd say go aftermarket with some LED type!

I think I might stick with the Denalis for now, and buy just the right-hand side assembly since my current one is cracked. I really want LED's but I heard they have problems, and I think I might black out the stocks just for fun and see if I like them. My Tahoe turns a lot of heads with the roof rack + bumper strip + tail lights. I can't help but look at it when I'm driving by a building/street with a lot of windows. :)

Maybe instead of spending the money on getting new tails, I might get the Escalade 3rd brake light. ;)

i have stock. it's so little, i would much rather have the kind that take up the whole back end.

and nice! i would put the chrome bumper strip on if i were you, it compliments the tails nicely and makes a huge difference. at least in my opinion it does.

Thanks Murderdouthoe!:Handshake: Have you started on your lights yet? Here's the link! http://tahoeforum.com/showthread.php?t=13484

Hope this helps if you decide to black them out yourself!

I like how you quoted EXACTLY what I said in one of my posts from the beginning of this thread. You're smart. :Handshake:

I've been able to find pictures of the regular G4 LED's (http://www.octanemotorsports.com/Chevrolet-Trucks-&-SUV-Tahoe-/-Suburban-/-Yukon-07-2010-Tahoe-/-Suburban-Headlights-/-Tail-Lights/c12_432_5826_2109_3618/p137602/07-2010-Chevy-Suburban-G4-Euro-LED-Taillights-Red-/-Clear/product_info.html)

But does anyone have these installed? if so any pictures? I want to put these on my steel gray tahoe but not sure how it would look
