So feeling a lil frisky tonight, I decided to hack into my brand spankin new $900 led tails. That gaudy chrome's gotta go!

 

So far so good. I'll keep this updated as progress continues tomorrow night.

Yikes! Says the guy who took apart the X51L Fuse Panel, X61A Junction Box, X51R Fuse Panel, X50A Under Hood Fuse Panel - 1 month after ownership. LOL. All for the sake of "research". Subscribed...

I wish all the chrome on the All Terrains including the taillights were the satin/black chrome like you find on the grill.

That's my plan.. I'm going to tape everything off and spray all the chrome parts w/ a satin black. I may experiment w/ gloss black as well as base coat just to see what that looks like.

 

Can't wait to get home this afternoon to get going on it.

Spray it with plastidip at first for the satin black to check the looks. If you don't like it just peel it off. I thought the same about the chrome. Props for doing this!!

Lol! I have the same. But I have a 2016 SLE. I'm debating doing a swap. Especially if the OP's tailights turn out sweet deleting the chrome!

Just curious, why are there no step pockets in the bumper on the picture of the 2014 red truck?
