Last pics for the tails looks good nice and blacked out....dont like the euros up front so I'd go clears.

 

 

Or look into black outs might look cleaner all around and less tacky. For the tails and heads to match youd need to get color matched rear bumpers too, debadge and black out the running boards. just mine opinion.

I would get the clear headlights and leave the tail lights stock. I hate how euro/led tail lights look. They look cheap. They look better stock, IMHO.

IMO, none of the headlights... but thats just me. I hate the 'new' Halo look that everyone is going with... it's not a Audi, or BMW, or anything Euro, it's a Domestic Truck/SUV!!!! But if you find a good headlight set, let us know =D

 

Personally, make sure that any headlights you buy have the DOT approval. I hate getting harrassed for something stupid like no amber reflector in the front or no red reflector in the rear.

 

As for taillights, i personally like these better, i have a similar set on my truck (black yukon denali) and i love the look better than those 'euro' lights. Be wary, cheap is not always better esp in LED cases, make sure you go with a reputable company with a WARRANTY because you are SOL when them lights start burning out if they do. I believe the ones i bought came with a one year warranty... some are warranty less....

Sorry for that last post my blackberry went crazy any way yes I like the dark or red LED rear lights and for the front I think I like the stock clear on the low beams with LED turns they have amber for turns and white LED for the DRL I like the projectors but I'm scared they might not look or do right.on body match the bumpers they was body color but the other owner wrecked it and put stock chrome junk back on it. I plan on getting the bumpers and grill body color and put the right air damn with round fog lights and put the black side steps and gray sides that came on it stock since its a Z71 Tahoe

None of them too much of the "Ricer" look. :)

 

Agreed.... those "I wanna be trendy just cuz it's the 'in' thing to do" lights show poor taste IMHO. :thumbs:

Well, in all honesty, LED tails have a great safety factor if all things are considered.

 

IIRC(i read it somewhere but don't remember where now (NHTSA?)) an incadescent bulb takes approx .2 sec from the time power is applied to the lead for the filament to heat up enough to glow. While a LED bulb (since it arc's essentially) will light up instantaneously (IIRC .0001sec)

 

Soooo... if you are travelling at 60mph ... it's 5280 ft/minute, 88 ft/sec ... so a person will be able to see and react to your brake lamps 17.6 ft sooner. Which is about the length of a small car or 3/4 the length of a Full size truck.

 

Unfortunately, since incadescent are non directional, and use the tapered reflectors to run properly and disperse light correctly and the LED only have about 60deg of usable light output it becomes stupid looking to put those nifty LED bulbs (which aren't cheap BTW) only to find out that they don't utilize the reflectors well enough to be a useful bulb. I paid 140 for my full LED tails (like in my previous link) from a local 'performance' shop for imports because i didn't want to pay $110 on ebay and take a risk =) these guys i can tell to stick a pipe in it if i dont want it and i don't have to pay ahead and they offered me a 1 year warranty, which is worth the extra 30 bucks IMHO... i like shopping locally =)
