SS sit lower 1 inch factory.
I like the exhaust cutouts but without the step cutout I think it looks more crossover than SUV. Just not a fan.

Yup, going strong. Thinking of upgrading my LED tails to something else

No I do not like aftermarket tails, I meant upgrade my current LED bulbs to something else

You cannot make stock tails look like IPCW tails by using an LED bulb..lol. The IPCW's have a grid/array of LEDs plus a different design.
But, I understand the point of wanting to keep the stock bubble-like tails, I like them too.

Not talking about those ones, there's an aftermarket tail identical to the stock, except it already has LEDs

I know about those too, just thought Brandon was talking about IPCW's lol. Even then those still have a big grid of LEDs inside that can't be accomplished with a bulb. Those 5-pronged star shaped bulbs are close though.

Here is a link to a video of them in action. I kind of like the strip on the side as part of the turn signal. I think he could have used a lot more LEDs to fill on all of the gaps, but not a bad custom job.

Oh man I've seen these before, I would love do this minus the LED strip on the side, and arrange the LEDs in the middle of the Halo ring differently

Yeah man I know what you mean, I spent around $800 total. Just like my SS wheels, I decided what I wanted, saved, and searched for the best deal.BlazingTrails said:
If you do not do the retro yourself, from my searching it appears that Smitty5050 has the best prices. Plus, his price includes a new set of headlights. $300 of the total $800 was just for new headlights

The ones I have look like stock lights (same style lens) but the guts are LED. I like them. Plus they don't cost as much as some of the others out there either. Brighter than stock too.Capote said:
See above - can get them pre-made already. Although that custom job looks pretty sweet.BlazingTrails said:

Looks like those would be very easy to make. It look like you need some led reverse lights
I got these they are pretty damn bright. 96 SMD LED's

I found the LEDs that have a projector lens on the end do a good job in my reverse lights. Well until I tinted the tails with night shade.BlazingTrails said:Looks like those would be very easy to make. It look like you need some led reverse lights

On my aftermarket tails, the reverse light housing is a matte finish versus a chrome finish which would help.
My reverse bulb base on these tails is an 1156 instead of a 3157.

Also have projector-ended leds in my reverse lights on the stang and TB, they're great but there is better mine cost $15 a pair, if you are willing to spend $30+ there's much better ones with (as I've called them recently) bubble-style chips like what's in cree flashlights and they're hella bright.
Pic of what mine look like:
