Hello.  Ever since I've picked up my ZR2 I've been hunting for OEM style black tail lights.  I found ones I really like but it says they are for trucks with incandescent lights.  I did see a guy running them on his ZR2 in a FB Group but he hasn't replied to my question or PM. 

Does anyone know if its possible for lights like this to work on a truck already equipped with LED tail lights?  https://www.amazon.com/KEEKPO-Incandescent-Upgrade-2019-2023-Silverado/dp/B0CD17PGTB?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=A21V9Z82905EPU&gQT=2

Or do you know of a light similar to this that will work with a factory LED equipped truck?  I prefer something with a OEM style but black housing and clear lens.  I do not want a tinted lens.  

Thank You.

they may and maybe not. the bcm learns a value of the original lights and stores it. even if you replace a light with a factory light you may get codes and hyperflash because that leaned valve does not match. in your case the resistors are useless because you already have led's. you can install the new lights, but you need a scanner to hook up and erase all codes, even if there ins't any. turn off the ignition and let it sit for half an hour and it might learn the new lights. i have had to do this even when replacing a factory light with a factory light

Yeah I knew I wouldn't need the resistors.  I'm hoping the connections are correct for the new ones.  I found them slightly cheaper on Carid but at least with Amazon if it doesn't work for my truck I can easily return them.  Thanks for the reply.

Ummm NO. I replaced my OEM LED's with aftermarket LED's with ZERO issues, NO codes, NO hyperflash, NOTHING.

The MostPlus brand I have had a plug in resistor harness that you would use if you had incandescent lights. Otherwise it was just a plug and play replacement. Had them in the last 2 years with no issues.
