Does anyone here have LED tails installed on their Camaro?

I am working with a manufacturer out of Taiwan and I will be carrying HID kits and I am thinking about carrying some Camaro LED tail lights, but I'm curious what they look like installed and how people like them.

I'm also thinking about smoking them and offering those too.

How about some pics of what you've got with some feedback?

Re: Does anyone here have LED tails installed on their Camaro?

the side markers look interesting... the taillights? honestly what do they offer over the current stock set up?

Now, if you can find replacement taillights that replicate the concept look:



You would be selling it like crazy...

A different look. At the end of the day LEDs are brighter and light up faster than their incandescent brothers.

I have given the light company some ideas on Corvette lights, I can shoot them the idea on the concept, but I wouldn't see it happening any time soon. Plus it looks like the concept lights might actually reduce visibility, which may not be a good thing.

One you step on the brakes it looks like this...

I would be the 1st one to buy a pair that replicates this look...

Oh I see, they are like Halos on the Corvette. I am having them work on some Corvette Halos and I imagine they work in a similar manner. I'd be curious to see if they could do something like that with LEDs.

I'd still like to see if anyone else has any experience with these lights.

Re: Does anyone here have LED tails installed on their Camaro?

I plan to when someone makes a set that loos more like the Concept. What I have seen (so far) is something that looks almost homemade.

The ones in this thread are different, but I would have to see them in person and also illuminated.

Same goes for the side markers. Keep the info flowing, WildVettes and let us know how things progress!

Their office may be in the US...but I'd be surprised if their products were made in the US. Very very very few things are any more, especially electronic items.

I think they have decent halo tail lights, but I am not a huge fan of cracking the OEM part open.

Re: Does anyone here have LED tails installed on their Camaro?

they make these in house. but whether or not the LED's are from here doesnt really matter. no offense to wildvettes, but id rather buy aac's home made afterburner lights than some taiwan made LED lights with cheaper non GM light housing. theres nothing wrong with opening up the light housing. many lights are made to do that.

Re: Does anyone here have LED tails installed on their Camaro?

^ AAC "afterburner" taillights are not exactly the same as the concept. What they have is a ring of leds. What the concept looks like is that it has a half a circle panel with LEDs in front of another light.... It's a different look all together.

WildVette,

Sorry for highjacking the thread... lol

Re: Does anyone here have LED tails installed on their Camaro?

The components are very likely from China, etc. You pretty much cannot get around it without things costing 5x as much. I hear ya on the housing. I have aftermarket taillights on my DD (just OEM replacements...nothing ricey) and they are pretty decent and probably at OEM level quality...but I still prefer OEM. However, at 1/4 the cost...and considering the OEM parts failed...it is worth the shot. So far, so good.

Makes me wonder where the OEM Camaro taillights are made...

I am definitely interested in what WildVettes comes up with.
