Taillight Ideas

I have a 2005 Cobalt Sedan. I was wondering if you guys have any ideas of what I can do to my taillights to make it nicer? I looked for ALtezzas but they don't make them for Cobalts yet. So i don't know what to do to make it nice. Any ideas?

Why oh why would you put those style lights on your cobalt? The most I've seen done is to darken them yourself, though I have not heard many success stories.

color match them to your car and just leave the two circles unpainted(brake/turn signal and reverse lights)

BTW They don't make those taillights and the only reason I posted the image was because he owns a cobalt and was owned. It is just a coincidence that it was of altezza taillights on a cobalt sedan

Tint them with nightshades tinting spray, or get them tinted by a tint shop. Iam getting mine lightly tinted by a tint shop that did my windows, doing the headlights also.

be careful

I tinted my tails with the niteshades came out lookin very good and professional. lights still shine and reflectors still work. but at night my back up lights are worthless. I have a winter beater so the cobalt only comes out on nice afternoons so it hasnt been an issue yet but I am tryin 2 figure out what 2 do. I want that blacked out look but want to be able 2 drive it at night.

PS I have already looked in all the local automotive stores for brighter bulbs and found nothing. any help would be appreciated

Yeah, I'd love to see the taillights, from the infinity g35 on the car.
Not the entire thing, just the LED circle.

I tried installing LED replacement bulbs in my headlights but they were 3057s...our cars take 3157s...

needless to say I ended up blowing a lot of fuses.

But when one was working it looked sweet.

I think the smoked Altezza tailights for the sedan look hot, a lot nicer than the stock ones.
