Default New tails, what do you think?

I got around to throwing my new tail lights on today. I hat lt1 tails on since the second day I got the car 3 years ago so I needed a change, not sure if I like these more though. i'll keep em on a few days and see if I come around


Next to an LT1 tail


Finished product

On a side note, anyone wanna shop the yellow part red for me? I may try that red spray tint on the yellow part to see how that comes out

If your going to LS tails, your also going to need a LS harness, DO NOT use the lt harness with the LS lights, or you will get heat dents in a matter of weeks.

With no orange, they look like LT1 tails with black lines drawn on them.

Without the orange is a LT1 tail, why not just put your old ones back on, tape your lines, use niteshade or whatever you please to spray your lines and sell your other tails?

Yeah, after a few days, I still don't really like them. After seeing the PS, i think I am going to red the orange part. It is more original than just regular lt1 tail I guess and painting the lines in on the LT1's will be tough since they have a rounded area that is pushed further in.
