Default Aftermarket Tail Lights Question

If this belongs somewhere else, please move it mods. I looked around, but after deciding that HID headlight questions had been asked here I figured why not soooo..

Do you guys think these would go good with a solid black monte?

I was also wondering if anyone had purchased from this website, and their experience. Also any other tips on buying aftermarket tail lights would be of help. I think I'm going to do this before I upgrade to HID. Hopefully I can do both soon.

Also Summit Racing is five minutes from me (in summit county) so I'm going to check there to see if they have anything yet. Thanks for the anyone that replies, I'll get back to everyone.

Also if anyone is selling any five spoke for cheap rims let me know, generally stock or whatever else you got. I don't really like the style of the curved spokes and for some reason that's what my car has. If I can get ahold of some I'll probably powdercoat in black or just go aftermarket depending on the total cost.

Those lights are on my "To-Buy" list. I never purchased from that site, but you can find those LED tails elsewhere for much cheaper.

And btw, they look FANTASTIC on a black Monte.



His were purchased through MatrixRacing.com there was a group buy 1.5 years ago with this site. Maybe you would want to check them out again.

Hey thanks a lot for posting that photo, though it makes me want to get them before my next pay haha.

I checked out that website and they're a little cheaper which is good. I'll probably just end up ordering from there instead because atleast I know I won't be scammed or anything like that.

Talk to them, and ask since you are a member of the MCF if you can get a discount.

Call them / email them and mention that last year we had a deal and you saw that deal and loved the tail lights, at the least maybe they can give you free shipping.

Ghost Busters! No but seriously, make sure all your lights are fastened into the sockets and what not because if one of the major lights isn't it will cause it to blink rapidly.

That third light isn't used. You just use it to seal it up. The company if you read the install says if they blink fast to let them know.

The inner circles are for your blinkers. So turn on your hazards and try again.

I installed these 2 weeks ago, and they work great. I don't have any problems... so Idk what you could have done wrong

The inner circles will not light up...and they still blink fast
Are all of the led tail lights shaped like the 6th gen? they dont fit "just right" on my 7th gen
