I want the same look as well.... BTW you have the black projectors, can you post some pics of that since we have the same color car? Monte with a LS4, where did you get the center LED brake light below your spoiler?

Cadillacs have LED tails and are American cars. As cacicgtp7 said, it makes the car look more expensive, and Cadillacs aren't cheap.

Dustin those LED tails look great. Did you do them yourself or buy them that way? I want LED tails for my G8 but they don't make them, so I'd like to covert them myself.

doesn't mean I like 'em.... heh... and don't think it makes them look any more "expensive"... they just don't fit the car...

I have them as well, they look good IMO, just gotta figure out how to get em to flash correctly. Hopefully the car was built with a fuse like flasher that I can swap.

You need to install LED load equalizers to get them to flash properly. Here's a link to a website that sells them.
