I like the blue reverse lights. Those look good with the chevy symbol.

Thanks. I am really happy with them!!! I will try tonight to get a pic when it is darker. And I will use my digital camera instead of my phone in attempts to get better pics.

Actually pretty impressive, surprised at the definition the Bow Tie emblems have to them. You made me stop and look at my lights yesterday, might find myself mimicking your work.

Great job you did with your reverse lights...

Thanks Zach and Greg!!
Now I really see the overkill with the red bowtie on the trunk. It's just not fitting in anymore.
So I believe the trunk will be debadged once it gets warm again!!
Greg- just a tip on the definition of the bowties...wet sand then dry well..apply the decals...I used one VERY light coat of VHT then 3 medium coats..let set about 15 minutes THEN pull the decals off of the paint near the inside corners will try to peel up with the decal. (I had to do them twice because I let it set too long the first time ) I actually put them back on the car so I could go to work so they "cured" for almost a day. I removed them again and wet sanded then dried well. I then put on 3 coats of clear. Let them set for about 4 hours then lightly wet sand again, dry well, then use rubbing compound followed by your favorite wax.
The taillights definitely took ALOT more work to keep them from having flaws and getting a shine back to them...lol I am happy with them so it was worth the effort!!

It was plug and play for the LEDS. Did not require the BUS for the lights I replaced.
