I have one on my dad's 02 Z28. It's held up pretty good. Some of the LED's have gone out. It does look modern.

Hard to believe it's been 6 years since I installed it.

Looks nice! Is there a way to replace the LEDs if you wanted to, or would you need a whole new light?

I had one on my 98, never a problem with it, after that car died I kept the light and it now resides on my 99. I've had it since 2008 or 2009 I think. Still works fine.

The housing is sonic welded together it looks like and LEDs are soldered so you can't easily replace them, but where there's a will, there's a way. I want it a little brighter so eventually I'm thinking of taking it apart and doing my own LED grid set in there somehow, perhaps.

If you find out how to take it apart and replace the LEDs please share!

Thank you for the feedback, everyone. I've read in another thread on here about the ABS light coming on after installing a brake light from Hawks Third Gen, is that something that is pretty specific to those a brake lights, or is it a possibility for that to happen with and EBay light, as well?
