Default Clear or VHT tails?????

k its time for me to change up my tail lights which way should i go? I have a stock appearing red 98 trans am and i'm installing superbright leds in the tails.

I haven't purchased the leds yet so if anyone has experience with them i'd gladly take advice. I know i should go with red ones either way but other than that????

Also does anyone know where i can find how to do the clear tail mod? Pics?

You will need an electronic flasher to keep the turn signals working when you replace incandescent bulbs with LEDs. There isn't enough current flow through LEDs to make the factory thermal flasher work.

Why would you want to do that?

Fortunately, it's an ordinary 2-prong electronic flasher that you can get from any parts store or even Wal-Mart. It should cost about $10-$12.

about 2 weeks now, im getting the ceta mod next week, along with black z06 rims. im looking for a way to get brighter lights though, during the day they are too dark. but im going semi gloss with the ceta, but debating if i should pay someone to professionally do it.
