Default Impala LED Tails available on eBay

From the same seller as the projector headlights, so you know they come with excellent customer service. Not much different looking than stock, but still something different. Wiring looks sketchy, though...too much chance for condensation with those holes uncovered.

All said, had I not already invested in tinted tails, I'd have a set of these.

FWIW, if you're one of the first to buy, the guy will likely offer you some money back for advertising photos. He did that for me with the headlights.

Those definately look nice. Although $240 is pretty steep for stock looking taillights. I converted my tails to l.e.d. last year for about $40. They are probably not as bright as those, but they still look good.

I agree. Only benefit I see is that they would (likely) shine through my tints better than the current stock bulbs. That said, I'd have to pay again to have them tinted, then hope they never fail, as I couldn't exactly return them for an exchange.

What did you use for your LED tails? Did you install load equalizers? A member at NAIOA did but he never got them right, so his flash too fast.

PM sent.

Check out LittleRock's garage page @ NAIOA. He's got a silver LT and got his tinted through me, but left the clear bottom alone to match the chrome strip on the trunk...HAWT!

I used these bulbs:

I did use load equalizers to make them flash properly. It was a little tough getting the bulb in the housing but it's not too bad. It's a fairly easy project. Just be careful where you mount the resistors. They get very HOT!! If you mount them to the taillight housing they WILL melt the housing. I cant remember which bulbs I used for the reverse lights but they are led too.
