    Hello everyone, I just got some smoked tail lights and I’m looking to upgrade all the rear lights to something brighter LED lights. I can’t seem to find any for the rear turn signals. Does anyone have advice on what I should look for or buy?

    How dark are they? Is the reverse lens still clear? Most of us don't tint or darken the lenses for good reason. It really should be made illegal. There are enough idiots on the road that you should want them brighter to be seen, not darker. Anyway, post some pics of them. They might be a good candidate for the Hottails kit from @memario1214

    Custom bug spat pattern hood, grill & bumper. Dead Live Oak leaf collection under hood, cowl and lower fenders. Beach sand custom floor covering.
    With todays trend to find percentage of fault in an accident, having non-standard or non DOT approved approved tail lights would get you double digit fault percentage if you ever got rear ended. Tread these waters very carefully. Even the Lincoln Lawyer would pick up on that.

    Ok...alot better than what I was thinking lol. Those would definitely be a Hottails candidate. That kit would make your upper and lower red lenses both parking and brake lights. The reverse light will have a switchback that would be an amber turn signal in that location. The kit is all bulbs from Vleds so it's high quality stuff. @memario1214 can hook you up with pricing. He's an excellent vendor to deal with.

    Same here...no issues what so ever. Vleds products are awesome. I have been using them since 2011.
