Aftermarket Tail Lights (Post Pics!)

[Grimmjow]

Anyone here have any experience with aftermarket tail lights? Just noticed recently that my back left one was full of condensation and it gives me a good excuse to just replace them both. I'd like to find something that somewhat replicates the look of an H1 tail light without doing some major fabrication (since I'm not a welder...) Anyway, if you have replaced yours and have any suggestions or pictures please post them up! Thanks!

These are crap - and illegal because they don't light on the side

these are good

If you think the top ones are good - I have a set I'll sell you, they mostly work.... I replaced them with the ones below

These are the some off eBay there black housing with clear lens very bright at night no complaints

Do the LED tail lights heat up enough in the winter to melt snow?
I'm worried that they would get covered and I could be rear ended in a storm.

I have the LED one just like MustangGirl666 and SuperBuickGuy. Sorry, not much snow in So Cal. I would prefer the OEM but one of mine were cracked and these were cheaper.

Snow doesn't stick to vertical surfaces that much and any that does would be same way as stock lights. But no, they will not melt snow. Led use less energy and run cooler then a regular bulb. No different then stock when it comes to what your asking

I just bought those ones as well and mounted them an hour ago, seem to be good quality[emoji106]

I am wondering how do you keep your truck clean!

I wonder how it can be so scratch free

It's a good picture, I worked hard to get/keep scratches to minimum. I have to wash it 1-2 times a week[emoji880]like clockwork!

Yeah, that's what I had feared. They look really cool, but the weather here in Michigan doesn't care if a surface is vertical. The snow comes in sideways and heavy off the lake and will just stick to everything it can find.
I was hoping that even though they run cooler, it wouldn't be too cool. I was in a caravan a few years ago behind a new pickup with OEM LED tail lights and between the storm and the snow being blown up from the road we had to keep pulling into side roads every half hour or so to scrape them off because I would lose sight of him.
Admittedly, when the weather is that bad you really shouldn't be out on the roads, but being invisible doesn't help any if you're caught out in it.

I am certainly looking forward to my first winter with this truck, the H3 should be an absolute beast. I'll get LED taillights once I move somewhere warmer.
