Guys, play nice!


Dmoney, as of now, noone manufactures clear tail lights. GM has them on the Concept Cobalts, however they are not available for sale.

I had carbon fiber tailights on my trailblazer and I would hardly call it "rice". There is a point where the same things can be used on a car and not look rice but can look rice on another car. The key is tastefullness. In my opinion rice is an old pos honda/ford/chevy etc. that has mods but are shitty...like a body kit thats not painted...different colored body parts (a red hood, blue fender, green door lol) a huge metal wing or excessive use of stickers just to name a few...Oh i forgot to mention autozone "spinners".

Does this look rice?

^God I miss her^

I would say that clear tails probably wouldnt look good on a cobalt coupe but I'm sure on certain colors it could be pulled off(maybe black). What I want is black taillights...I also want black headlights...

EDIT: I forgot to mention the most commonly used form of rice...the fart can...

Note: any replication of these tails would be ill-advised...hated them 3 months ago when i saw them...hate them more today

Those tail lights look like crap. It would look really good with red ones on there, i like the coupe tail lights on the 4-door.

I got LEDs for my taillights the other night from Auto Zone... They aren't the best. They look nice, but they flash faster. I'm probably going to buy a set from http://www.superbrightleds.com. They are nicer and have more LEDs per bulb. They also have some with radial mounted LEDs so that it fills out the taillight better. Just make sure you get red LEDs.

PS. 3057 or 3157 for the bulb. Both work. Like I said, some of these will make your turn signals faster if not installed with a resistor. Some will not change the flasher speed if they have a resistor built into it. I'll let you know if the ones from that website have it or not once I get mine.

I've asked this question before, and got the same result. I know there are many people that do NOT like these, however there are some of us that do. The ignorant comments to follow get old.

- Still waiting on clear tailights to come out.

From the site you posted:

"LED bulbs may cause some newer vehicles to indicate a bulb is burnt out (because of their low power consumption). Some cars indicate this by increasing the flash rate of the turn signals, some turn on a bad bulb indicator. The only fix for this is to install Load Resistors across the bulbs that are being indicated as bad. Some vehicles will also disable the cruise control system if a brake light bulb is being indicated as bad, the installation of Load Resistors will also solve this problem."
