I finally recieved my LED tailights for Trucknvans,(waited 4 months). you can see them here: http://www.trucknvans.com/EuroStar_LED_Taillamps_99_05_Silverado_Sierra_p/led648.htm

You will need to modify the tailight bucket somewhat to make it fit, you can see where I made the cuts below. They are nicely made with some sort of ballast-the reason you need to cut the bucket. The lights are brighter than stock and of course they look cool. The bottom lights up a lot like the angle eyes on headlamps. Not cheap at $300 a pair.

Look's good.

Does the whole light brighten up when your step on the brake's or only the upper or lower half? How about with turn signal's?

How bright is the backup light? I'm assuming they are led's also.
But I not a clear guy.
These I just might do...They hide the led's better.

Besides the cutting, was this a 'plug and go' install, or did you have to mess around with your wiring also? How is side vis?

These look cooooool

That is a wild looking set up. Looks great. Nice pics too.
Not really a bad price for a pair of LED lights and lenses if you compare them to the APC style lenses.

Other than the cutting, it was a "plug and go" install. All the cutting is just plastic so it''s easy to do. I called the distributer and told them that cutting is required and there is now a notation in the taillight discription that it is required. They also raised the price! (It was $280). You can see in the backside picture the two short pigtails that plug into the existing bulb sockets. You do use the standard back-up bulb, (it's not an LED).
