I want to change my tails for a fresher look. I don't really care if they are LED or not I just want them to look stock. Most of the non-LED ones I found did not look stock at all. What do you think of any of these? All the images are off eBay. I did not have much luck finding anything stock looking not on eBay.

I have a black '03 Denali...

I have the sonar's and i tinted them dark a little. I taped off the backup lights so they stayed clear but only a square of them clear kind of like the third set you have there. Love them
Look lighter outside.

Seeing them on the truck is actually making the decision harder! I like what I have seen so far!

I was thinking about possibly tinting whatever I get a bit. I don't know yet though. I think the only difference between 4 and 5 is the tinted reverse light. I thought it was interesting that option 2 appears to have a second bulb hole in the reverse light area. Not sure if I really like the red being broken up with with the reverse in the middle.

The ones you all have light up red, right? I have heard some of them look more pink than red.

That is the reflection making it look like there are more than one bulb hole.

The output on the lights is red. Bright ass red, no shades of pink or anything at all.

So I ended up ordering #4! Thanks for all your input!

xBigNoke: Thanks for the link. They definitely have the largest selection I have seen.

Excellent choice. I think they're the most popular tails on this board

So my new taillights came today and I got them installed along with HIDs in the reverse lights. They look great but the parking lights don't work. When I installed them I matched the black wire to the black wire but the 10 amp parking light fuses under the hood still blew. I changed the fuses but the parking lights still don't work. Is it possible the relay is blown too?

I bought a kit from DDM and retrofitted them. I have been wanting to do them for a while but a local shop said it wasn't possible. Then I saw this thread...

They look good and are super bright but I still can't see through my tint to back into my driveway at night.

So apparently I shouldn't have replaced my tail lights in the dark! Everything is working fine now. You just have to connect everything properly!

I have one. I'm just so used to using my mirrors I never use it!! The truck went into the body shop last month for some rear bumper work so I had them recess it into the bumper to the left of the license plate (it was mounted under the bumper next to the trailer hitch). Bad idea. Now at night I get a glare from the license plate light.
