Default new TAIL LIGHTS?!?

Well, while i save up for my cam, i was thinking of buying black tail lights. I really dont like how the stock red tail lights look with my yellow goat. Any recommendations on where to buy them from or what brand?
I need them to last and not crack open with humidity. I already had a bad experience with my camaro tail lights, they lasted 6 months before fading and cracking

Wow, these 2 options are too tempting... i googled gto tail lights and came across some LED ones on ebay, they look pretty decent, what do you guys think? Should I trust ebay on this one?

I would get the 06 tails. A local yellow goat has them and they look pretty good.

Not a fan of Nightshades, doesn't have the nice candy look that professionally tinted tails have. I would have your 04-05s tinted professionally or go with the 06s as you mentioned.

I wouldnt bother changing the tail lights man. I had all my lights, headlights, side markers, tails done wtih that vinyl tint. It looks awesome and is cheap to do. I had my entire car tinted with 15% all around and all the lights on the car tinted and it looks great. it cost me 385 for the whole car to be done. And you can have them tint them as dark as u want and light will still pass thru so no issues with pain in the *** cops who hate anything that makes cars look better. (i.e.)tint

Call Gene at GMPARTSHOUSE.com I picked mine up there a few years back for only $230, and they are brand new parts. Great customer service.
