LED tails decision

[mtbennett24]

Trying to make the call here. I want to get some LED tail lights but can't make the decision to get black, smoked or red. My 09 z71 is black/black and has a stock stance with the stock tires and wheels. It will probably stay this way for the foreseeable future so I am thinking the red would be best. Black or smoked with an otherwise stock looking z71 might look goofy. Any thoughts? Thanks.

I am biased.

Nice. Those are red G4 led tails? Did you do the third brake light too?

I have the red and the Escalade 3rd brake, I love it!

get the red, then when you do whatever your future plans are, smoke them out...

They're the G3s, which appear to be the same as the G4s. Nah, I didn't do the third brake light. I think it's so close in appearance that I can't be bothered. LOL

Where'd you get the escalade 3rd brake? and you have the red G4 LED's?

if your truck is black, I don't think black taillights look goofy if its stock. mine is stock and I did my taillights black, and I made black housing headlights.

I also want to get LED taillights but I am going to black them out also. I found these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/07-0...ptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories I was wondering if anyone has had these? How good are they?

I happened to catch it on eBay for $80, and yes my tails are G4.

I haven't seen a tutorial for doing them. I have done several black housings. Take them apart with a heat gun, sometime with a hair drier, and paint the chrome flat black. Not that hard, just a little time consuming.

Yes, there is. Do a search for "Joey headlight mod." The headlight blackout has been referred to as the "Joey mod" around here -- but, I think it's on other forums (like a Caddy forum, etc.), too.
