I've always been a fan of LED tails, and when I got my Cobalt it was one of the things I immediately thought of doing. But after looking around at what was available, I decided against it because I couldn't find a set I really enjoyed both functionally and visually. I'm not a fan of the fancy types and like the factory look.

So about two weeks ago I did a search on eBay and found a set that looked promising, and I ended up buying them. They arrived yesterday and I gave the car a quick spraydown and installed them. I made two kinda crappy quality videos to show how they look, but the lighting conditions made them come out kinda funny, but they're still watchable for the most part.

First video is here, comparing the LED and stock lights. Second video is here, where both sides are LEDs with me going through left signal, right signal, etc.

The good thing that I enjoy about these is that they came with a load balancer already wired into each light, so my signals flash properly with none of that silly strobe light effect when you blow a bulb.

 

those look good... it would look great if you had the inners done w/ leds, wired into the 3rd brake light

 

I actually like the look with the inners being just reverse lights. I don't feel like tinkering with things too much and making myself a cop target.

 

Those look awesome !!!!

 

see if you can put the videos on streetfire.net

youtube is blocked at most offices but streetfire is not, id like to see them

 

Looks good! I also got some LED tails, and CHMSL for my car as well. But i got the Euro/altezza looking ones.

I took some actual pics this morning so here's what they look like during the day.

looks good man.. i think im gonna order me a set of those and put some leds around my back up lights to make em match..

 

i actually like those blends in good with the car

 

I have these lights, and I love them. Seems to me like they're brighter than the stockers.

I actually did add LEDs to the inner lights (10 of them on each side), but they pale in comparison to the light output from the outers. I need to find some brighter surface mount LEDs or Luxeons or something to replace the LEDs that i put in them so that they'll match a little better. You can only really see them at night, and it's really more of an accent right now than anything.
