Default LED Taillight pics?

Anyone have them? I have an arctic white Z and considering some led's, but I'd like to see what the black and or smoked set look like before diving into the red pair. I think the smoked would look good with a Berger, but maybe the black will too.

Easy enough to find on ebay, but no installed examples.

Here is what they look like with the blackout tails in, I am waiting for the LEDs to come in to finish the job and snap completion shots. I may be holding on to the LT1s I had in there and just smoking them since I am already so popular with the police...no need for any more attention with the full blacks. https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearanc...son-shots.html

I might do the lt1 style led's, I was thinking more of the aftermarket led's. I know they aren't popular, but I'd at least like to see a picture for myself to decide if I like them.

I just meant that I was swapping the lights out with direct replacements from superbright, I am not doing anything crazy by making my own panel. I honestly have no idea where to start or the materials. The bulbs in there presently are the same ol' ones we've all used for years. I am really looking forward to getting the new ones though!

There's an aftermarket set of smoked led's I'm looking for, they don't look very dark on and I was wondering if anybody had a set to show me.

Like this.





If anyone has these or knows someone who does some installed pics would rock.

This isn't my car, it's TheGr8Schlotzky's









He had them professionally painted translucent black (like VHT Niteshades). I personally think it looks great.

When smoked they don't look bad, hides the ugly reflectors and reverse light

I know they are hated on here, I kind of like them. Those smoked jdm black ones could be awesome on my arctic white with a carbon fiber berger panel. And for the record my entire 'camaro will be carbon fiber, but painted, you won't be able to tell that it's carbon fiber, except for the berger panel, maybe, haven't decided on that yet.
