Question about tail lights

So I'm wanting to get some smoked LED taillights for my SS coupe. I was just curious as to which ones I should buy that are good quality and will last a while.

Have your stock ones painted by a body shop.
Acetone, black base, and clear.

And those are so bright that you cant tell they are tinted once the lights are on.

They look really good like that but I'd prefer having LED if I have smoked lights.

Put quality LED bulbs in then.

Aside from that your option is k2 or custom.

I actually ordered those clear smoked LEDs from K2Motor. Not I'm curious as to whether or not I can find a matching third brake light set. Anyone have any ideas?

Those have to be custom made. No vendor sells new ones. Search for "Cobalt LED third brake light" and you'll see what you need, or just pay colodude18 to make you one.

Alright thanks. Was thinking about doing the LED conversion part myself. You know if it's possible to get a clear smoked cover instead of a red one for it? I want it all to match if possible haha

I seriously doubt it. People smoke their stockers all the time though.

Take a closer look at my car in the picture above. It has a clear (unsmoked) third brake light cover and is LED converted. I could smoke that for you. PM me if you're interested.
