Now you just need a set of these after you get the Esky 3rd brake light in order to make averything flow.

Interesting. I'm on IE and it works for me. Here's the link: http://cdn.autoanything.com/images/products/schem/IPCW/large/ipcw_ledt-313cr.jpg

Well, the image works fine now It wasn't earlier even when I manually input the link from the image into my browser (google chrome)

Anyhoot....I can't say I'm really fan of those. I'd rather keep my clean, body colored appliques rather than putting lighted appliques in but that's just my personal taste

 

[domin8]

I wasn't being serious about them. I def won't be doing it to my truck either. Still on the fence about the tail lights you have and the Esky high mount.

But, for anybody that's interested in the appliques, they are from ipcw. www.ipcw.com

I love the lights. They are an improvement over stock for sure. The only other thing I've thought about doing with them is maybe putting a light shade of tint over them. With my ride being maroon that red contrasts a little more than I like so I may do that at the same time that I get my windows tinted darker. Other than that, though, the lights looks great to me.

Here's a better pic of them in the day light after a good wash....

I hear on the red/maroon clash. My wife has a sport red tint Cobalt SS sedan. I can't stand the way the tail lights look. I've tried to get her to tint hers, but with no success. How do you think your tail lights would look on a silver birch Tahoe?

 

[07Burb]

I think it'd look great. Tint always looks nice on silver colors....

 

[domin8]

Oops. I meant, how do you think they'd look on my truck without the tint?

 

[07Burb]

I think they'd look great not tinted as well since silver

I'd tint those lights too. Just a light smoke like I had on my last set in this pic:

Also, get some 28s

That is exactly what I was thinking right there I was going to have my tint guy do it at the same time he tints my windows darker.

Also, get some 28s

I don't foresee me ever rollin' on 28's. 22's or 24's are in my future, though

I think the only excuse I have for not getting those leds tails is the lack of a good set of projector headlights I can stick HIDs in. As for 28s, not me, not ever. I'm going up in height, not down. I don't want my truck to be like the Hummer/Schwarzeneger at the end of Disney's Cars movie in the offroad boot camp that's afraid to get its wheels dirty.

 

[Modded]

Jacob and Connor I was joking about the 28s, If I condoned such on these SUVs I would have got them by now.

Now what did we do with that sarcasm emoticon?

 

[domin8]

Sorry Neo. I guess I should have read your sig before commenting.

G4 Install Problem

So I put my new G4's in and they look great and work great however they dont fit great. The passenger side went it with no problems but the drivers side rubs on the tailgate and is driving me crazy. I cant seem to find anyway to actually adjust the fit. There is nice spacing between the passenger side and the liftgate but it sits flush on the drivers side and makes an awful noise as it rubs on the liftgate. Any thoughts or tips on how to adjust the fit? Or should I just return the lights and hope the next pair fit better? Lights are from REVOTEC so I am sure they will work with me but I would rather fix myself if I can.

very nice. I being thinking about getting some led taillights.

They really are a good light IMO I've now switched out my tails 2 or 3 times since this were up but of all the lights I've had the G4s were near the top of my favorites

youve never had any issues with the blinkers blinking while approaching the car and unlocking with the fob?

since using these resistors i mean
