It's an opinion thing, man. Do what you want, but I personally think the smoked lenses suit a black car best. Un-smoked lenses seem to REALLY stand out against black, which I don't like. I'm not a fan of completely blacked out tail lights, but these "cherry red" ones are subtle and look really good on a black car. Especially with tinted windows. You might wanna get some tinted vinyl for your 3rd brake light too though. I got a pre-cut piece from eBay years ago and it's been holding on just fine, and seems to match the "cherry red" pretty well in terms of darkness too.

 

Thanks for your feedback. Did u have to remove the Cadillac emblem to install the tint? Isn't Nightshades a better option?

 

No, I didn't remove the emblem. And I'm not familiar with niteshades. Guess that's your call to make.

 

Ok. Gracias! !

 

Well apparently photos can be misleading. I thought they would be darker than they are. Love them! Such a difference!

Sorry for the crappy cel phone px

 

Looks sharp. now I want some.

 

Some idiot (*cough* ) managed to break his driver side rear taillight Tuesday night. I have the dark cherry variety.

If anyone is in need of a passenger side dark cherry LED light, let me know. I'll buy a new pair (a nice Christmas present to reward my own stupidity), so this passenger side one is extra if someone is in need.

And if anyone has some LED expertise and wants to take the broken driver side one and see if it's possible to "hack" the circuitry to only light up the light bar, let me know.

 

What are you running for front tail lights?

 

From the schematic there is only one signal wire feeding the tailights (in the wiring harness going to the lights). My guess is that wire just increases voltage to go from dim to bright. While the bulbs in the tailights are dual element the schematic shows one of them open. So to do what you guys want to do you would likely need a logic circuit to compare the two voltages against a reference. It wouldn't be hard to do but that would mean additional circuitry in the tail lights or at the very least in the trunk with additional wiring to the tail lights. While cool, it sounds like too many potential reliability issues to me. Now if the circuitry was integrated into the board that is currently in the lights you would be in pretty good shape.

 

Dammit! Can't believe I made such a rookie mistake. Well played.

 

Maybe the best place to post some pics from my additional tinted dark cherry tail lights:
