diggerdan11 Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Well since I sold my SS I have been thinking bout different options to make my 1500HD a little cooler and nicer, more like my SS. I have been thinking about doing something to my tail lights. I loved the smoked tail lights I had in my SS. I was looking for some advice, and see what you guys think about these options. FYI: My 1500HD is black, I am thinking about also doing smoked headlights (like my SS), and Im already ordered some black rims. Option #1: Red LED's and third brake light http://www.ebay.com/itm/03-06-SILVERADO-04-06-GMC-SIERRA-PICKUP-RED-CLEAR-LED-TAIL-LIGHTS-LEFT-RIGHT-/360627874966?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3ASilverado+2500+HD&hash=item53f718ac96&vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/03-06-SILVERADO-SIERRA-FULL-LED-3RD-BRAKE-LIGHT-LAMP-CARGO-LIGHT-NEW-/230958147309?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3ASilverado+2500+HD&hash=item35c62da6ed&vxp=mtr Option #2: Slightly Smoked LED's and the closes matching third brake light http://www.ebay.com/itm/03-06-Silverado-Sierra-LED-Red-Clear-Tail-Lights-Lamps-Pair-New-Left-Right-Set-/160965464828?rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222002%26algo%3DSIC.FIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D163%26meid%3D6751275312265352412%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D1088%26rk%3D1%26sd%3D181071030682%26 http://www.ebay.com/itm/99-06-SILVERADO-SIERRA-FULL-L-E-D-3RD-THIRD-BRAKE-CARGO-LED-LIGHTS-SMOKE-LENS-/310556425377?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item484e9afca1&vxp=mtr Option #3: Option #1 but have them professionally painted black. I can try to find a local shop to paint them, but so far every shop I have asked said not they wont smoke tail lights, too much liability. I can also have danny (sprayed99) do mine And No I wont even think about using nightshades. Option #4: Professorially painted stock tail lights just like the above option I can have a local shop or danny do them. The biggest problem is that I really cant afford much down time. I found a guy online who will send me painted OEM tail lights and third brake light for $250, and he will give me a little bit back when I return my stock ones. He will paint them any darkeness I want and will also tape off the third brake light so I do not have visibility issues. Option #5: Leave them stock you idiot, and so something else with the money!

silverado777 Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 I have option number 2 for the tail lights and love them. I would have the third brake light professionally smoked to match the tail lights. I can't seem to find a third brake light to match the tails.

I can't seem to find a third brake light to match the tails. yeah that is one of the problems with #2 is that there really isnt a third brake light that matches. I could have them professionally done, but it such a light smoke it might now be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chawkins6789 Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 A set of recons. Sent from my DROID RAZR MAXX using Xparent Red Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballincustoms Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 #2 definitely my 3rd brake light matches pretty good on the smoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARTYW Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 I vote for the third option. Danny ( sprayed99) did mine and I love them. Only negative is the backup lights are very dim when backing up. That along with my tint makes backing at night tough. If u get them sprayed, I highly recommend Danny if he is available.

rickyrick562 Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 I voted #5 just because it was funny but probably go with #2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoney23 Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 I also have option 2 and love them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chawkins6789 Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 I have the whole recon smoked set. It looks good with all 3 lights smoked on a dark gray truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downeast Johnny Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 My truck is black, too, and I've thought about this quite a bit in the past. Almost jumped for a set of the Recons in the first year I owned her. Thought a lot about getting them painted by Sprayed99, but in the end decided I like the red stockers against the black truck. (I am no fan of the "murdered" look. I like the little bit of sparckle these black trucks have). Savin' my bucks to go for other mods.

ballincustoms Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 I own #2 version 3rd brake light that I am planning to add on a 2000 Chevy Silverado and the SSS has this version http://www.ebay.com/itm/Putco-99-06-Chevy-Silverado-Third-Brake-Light-Stop-LED-3rd-Brake-Lights-Smoke-/230955138886?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35c5ffbf46&vxp=mtr I personally like the one I have on the SSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diggerdan11 Posted April 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Those Recon lights are nice, they are more expensive, but may be worth it vs. buying ones from Fleebay Found some on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Recon-264173RBK-Dark-Smoked-Light/dp/B000VEHNVE Not sure If I like the third brake light that matches it. I wish they would make a third brake light that is red then lightly smoked like the tail lights, but they are always either clear with smoke, or plain red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akslowroller Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 I'm a fan of #4. That's the rout I went. I've thought about doing led tails but every one has them. Only a few people here have a set of nice tinted tails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
