Default New tail lights. What do you think?

I found these tail lights on line out of canada. When I received them it looks like they are GM parts with mold numbers. Look to be the same style as the 93-97, but clear. Anyway how do you all like them, or should I keep the stock ones? Oh and don't mind the sticker just doing my part ya know....LOL!!

I'd really like to see them with the brakes lights on. Overall i'd have to agree, they would look best on the dark colors. I think they look good. Thier different in a classy way not like all the usual ricer/blingy stuff you see out there.

Nice to finally see something different for us pontiac guys!

I had to go with LEDs because the only red bulbs I could find looked pink and I wasn't having any of that!

I did that to my car a few years back and then changed back to the stock lights. Here are some shots from back then.

I like it. Where do you get the LED replacements? And how do you remove the red from the Lt1 tails?
