GM Black Tail Lights on Red Hot
Finally got around to installing the GM black tail lights today. Biggest pain in the butt is getting the plug apart. Pics are not the best due to too much sun light. I'll try to get some better ones and post later.

Before



Right Installed


Both Installed

I'm using the Phastek blackout kit. All the pieces are easy to install and look great except for the 3rd brake light. It doesn't cover the light completely, at certain angles you can see the red. I'm going to replace it with the ZL1 1LE 3rd brake light once it's available.

I had the same experience with the Phastek kit. I ended up removing it and having my shop tint the third light and reflectors.

Beautiful, love the red hot. But why do you have a ginormous hole where your license plate should be?

Here's a couple. The side markers look a bit lighter in the suns light than they actually appear.

Lookin good!!! How did the third brake light turn out? On mine at certain angles you can see red, I'm waiting for the 1LE third brake light to come out so I can change mine out, until them I'll live with the look.
