Love that blue on yours , I hate my blue :nolol: (yea I said it @Fosscore )
@05Single


:lol::lol:

I love the blue on you guys trucks. I was really close to buying a darker blue one myself.

ok so I got pulled over last night for a tail light out. oddly enough it was in a parts store parking lot. I went in and bought some replacement bulbs and popped them in. it got me to thinking stock tails are kind of plain. what do you guys think about tinting the factory lights vs buying after market. I love the clean look of tinted tails. but I also like the LED options with after market assemblies. any one have any insight on this?

I really like the look of the updated LED tails and the brightness is so much better. I like the LED tails on my 06 much, much better. It just seems to flow nicely.

Just :2cents:.

yes that is the plus on the LED tails. I have a set in the Tahoe and I really like them. but all the after market lights are flat and I kinda like how the stock lights have the little bumps on them. just not sure what to do yet

I see what u mean.

Ask @05Single. He probably has some OEM tail light LED up his sleeve since it is coming on 24 hours of darkness in the Last Frontier.

That might be cool to see. An all LED OEM NBS tail light!

I was just gonna do led bulbs in my factory candy tails lol. I have lots of ideas but for now I like what I got. And if I get a bulb out I still have another 3 illuminated. You can always do my quad bulb mod with led bulbs.

I actually prefer the flat look of aftermarket. But stock with the bubbles do look really good smoked for some reason (on trucks and suvs), and I'm not a fan of smoked.

got to mess around with the truck Monday. swapped all the interior lights over to LEDs. no idea why I waited so long to swap them. looks much better!

dome light, this made a huge difference! can see so much better now.

door lights. I had to slightly modify the housings so the leds would fit in the hole but after that they snapped right in
