Do you have any suggestions on something LED or brighter than stock? Looking to black out the taillights to match the rest but want decent visibility.

I have a friend who has a set of those, and he says they aren't very bright at all. He is going to reinstall his Technostalgia's he has, like mine. Love them, but they are expensive, and I think only Rick's Camaros / Ecklers sells them anymore.

With the darker RS housings, I just replaced the halogens with these:

Leave the red lenses, you need the contrast, IMHO.

Thanks all. Looks like the black out overlays and LED’s for the win.

My tails are sprayed with a mixture of 8 parts GM black and 2 parts clear. They are pretty black and my tails shine through perfectly even in daylight. Never even thought to put brighter bulbs. I may be cutting mine open soon to do the afterburners so maybe Ill look into some LEDS at that point. I dont think the LEDS will play well with my sequential tail harness tho
