Pretty difficult to get an unbiased opinion on this subject. My guess is you'll vote for what you own 95% of the time. Always the exception for "I got such a good deal, couldn't pass it up". Having said that I give a slight edge to '14-'15. I liked the entire "refresh" style the minute I saw it.

My first car was a '74 Dart Sport so I'm kinda partial to four.

I dont think the tail lights make the car. For me it has to do with the rear diffuser. 10-13 looks better. The 14/15 have that huge plastic diffuser that takes up half the bumper. BUT...... you paint the 14/15 diffuser or get a Z/28 or spring edition...... then its pretty nice.

I'm split. I like the more modern look of the '14-15 RS LED tail lights and the Hero versions as well.
But the more old school look of the '10-13 fits a bit better.
I tried to blend both by converting mine to high-power LEDs.
Old school look with the brightness and response of LEDs.

Same here. 14-15 is by far my favorite Camaro built to date and I like the tail lights as well

I'm more partial to the '10-'13 than the '14+. I think the '10-'13 car captures a 1st gen look better than the refresh and as stated above, the non-Z/28 or spring edition have a matte plastic piece that goes way too high up the rear which makes the taillights look less desirable to me.

Agreed

Sparko · 07-09-2020, 06:46 PM

I definitely like the 10-13 more. I think the 14's are awkward. I like what they were trying to do, but it doesn't fit the car IMO.

Spec · 07-09-2020, 06:51 PM

I like them both about the same these days...

At first I didn't like the 14-15 tail lights too much. But they grew on me. Enough so to consider a rear end conversion one day.

I Love the look SSEssence has on his ride with those upgrades too.

No rush tho... because, again, still love my 10's set!

InFiD3ViL · 07-09-2020, 07:20 PM

This is a hard one.

When the refresh models came out I hated them and thought it looked awful. Now I think the rear end of the refresh Camaros look so damned clean and thicc - it gives it that super fat ass. It's just a very well thought out design. Maybe that's not the best way to describe it, but I think most of you understand what I saying.

I also love my 2010 quad tail lights. It is more of a classic look and fits the earlier models perfectly as it compliments the 'retro' styling that GM was going after. I just wish we had some better aftermarket LED alternatives for the quads. I know there are some aftermarket models (and mods) that are available I and have seen them all, but I think they look rather subpar. I want them with the newer style of LEDs, similar to how it was implemented in the Hero lights for the refresh.

So I am just rocking my quad tail lights with a very dark blackout film.
