LED Sequential Tail Lights

I have a 2013 Camaro SS and I am looking for smoked or black sequential LED tail lights. I found some on EBAY from epartsgogo but the connectors don't match up. Unfortunately they do not provide install instructions either. Has anyone used these or know of any LED tail lights in smoke or black that will work? I do not like the ones with the arrow!

Check out SWEEPLITE.com if you want to keep the OEM look. I have chrome,clear lenses from EBAY. I've had these for years.

I've had the Technostalgia taillights for a few years with no issues. You might want to look in the "Lighting and Cosmetics" section as there are many threads regarding this.

I loved my Technostalgia set until the bulbs began giving out. It got so bad I had to switch back to stock... now I'm looking for a new set. Its 50/50 with the Technostalgia's from what I've seen in the past.

We need more variety!

What the heck?

1) I thought you need to normally install the afterburner yourself.

2) Why are these lamps shown with a white bezel in every photo regardless of the car's color? The bezel should not be part of the lamp.

So looking around a bit more, for some reason, CARiD carries pre-installed afterburner rings on tail lamps and markets these as coming from Oracle, even though Oracle's own site seems to only list the do-it-yourself kit (costs about $200.)

I found that they also offer these plasma rings which I think match the halo headlights on our cars a lot better:

http://www.carid.com/oracle-lighting...-7192-053.html

The only thing that turns me off is:
1) Not clearly designated as matching the RS package. I've seen some listing where they say the lamps specifically aren't for RS, but this listing says nothing.
2) It says these come with a "clear" lens whatever that means. I'm assuming there's no possible way the lamps aren't tinted red or that would be illegal, right?

My lenses are clear, but the lights are red. Illegal, depends on where you live. Did you check out SWEEPlite.com?

Yeah, I was surprised to see them too. The white bezels 'look' could be the lighting, not sure. Either way I would have no use for them. I'm loving the ANZO gloss blacks.

But 500 plus tho...

Considering I have my stock lamps sitting in a box. yeah. I rather just get the $200 afterburner kit and pay a shop $100 or less to install them. The round afterburners are apparently way easier to install, but I don't feel comfortable cutting the lenses.

I would just like to find the rapid fire option but not sure what all would be involved with that.

A friend of mine has them. They are really sharp! He likes his car OEM looking.

As far as sequential goes, I use a sequential kit from Phastek. Takes a good 10 minutes to install.
