They dont light up all the way down??

bottom half lights up when turn signal is applied

I am liking this mod. Where did you get em from and how much??

Looks Good Man. Where did u buy them from? I'd like to see pics of how they look in the day.

bought them from an ebay seller cosmodynamic

day pictures to come.... stupid rain.

If you want to sell your OEM taillights send me a PM.

Nice bro!!

look sweet:)

hard to see it, maybe a shot further away in light?

looks similar to a range

I'm not a fan of the look from the side.

this is the smoke version that's also on ebay... gotta love the srt photoshop!

Rain let up so i was able to grab a couple outside pics... couple quick things, all of the LEDs are illuminated when the lights are on, if no lights are on and brake is applied top half is illuminated.

i like it..wonder how these would look on the back of a steel blue jeep?

if you guys havnt noticed it kindov looks like the range rover lights :)

That would look great on the silver GC.

Hmmmmm....sorry not feeling them.

Yeh they are real nice but they are only plug n play for the 06 model. I bought those same lights for my 07 and the harness is different for my srt, my father is an electrician so he rewired the lights and he actually wired them so all of the leds top and bottom light up when the brakes are applied and when they are on the look is SICK! Thats the question most people ask me about (where'd you get those lights?) They are plenty bright in the day also probably brighter than stock.

I agree with Bridam Tooooooo Much rice not badass enough for the BEAST

I don't really like them, but it's not so much because they're rice but because they seem strangely half-baked with the side look left "undone".

http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w199/ryantafelski/no.gif

IMHO.......If they are silver when the lights aren't on, like they look in the pics.I would tint them as quickly as I could get them too a good painter, Dark!! Sorry, not my cup of Tea.

Whether you like them or not they are great to have because you can change them depending on what look you are going for that month, week, or day. The biggest thing I like about them is that they are so easy to change out. Two screws in each, that's it. I like to keep em guessing. It's cheaper than buying two beast and we all know what happens when you get two beast too close together!

ill admit on the black gc it doesnt look so great but i had done this mod on my white 2004 escalade and it looked great cuz the chrome didnt look out of place but i had many problems with the cheap wirering especially during the harsh winters .

Maybe if they were blacked out........ But that would cost a lot fo money to buy those then have them blacked out.

probably ought to take that Clemson sticker off... It's gotta be slowing you down tremendously. Lights look good though.

I'm not digging it, maybe a North Carolina sticker will make them look better!:)

i've got a kansas sticker on order

I think they would look better if the black plastic inside was painted body color.

i've got a kansas sticker on order

That cuts deep.

i've got a kansas sticker on order

lol, awesome (Rock Chalk Jayhawk!!!)

I can't make up my mind whether I like them or not. I think that blank spot on the side needs something.

Do you have any pics that are not as close up? Do they contour the body lines like the stock tails?

I bought a set once and they fit but since i had three bulbs the lights only hooked up with two.. Those were not led lights however I emailed that very seller a few days ago and he said they wouldn't work on the SRT8 did you have to do any mods.. Or just plug and play..

Looks like you had the three light bulb on your old too.. how were you able to plug into the lights when they just have two one for the turn and brake and one to put your old back up bulb into??? Just curious as i would like to purchase these lights as well but the same guy you bought from says they wont fit the 3 light old lenses

How can you hook these up on an 08?

I have a set thats red like stock. They'll be installed this weekend, because as those who have been following know, they don't just plug in for the 07-08 model years. Different light pattern too because of how I wired them.

Just deciding if I wanna install them red or tint them first.

looks good..........

Those look fantastic!

Surely someone can come up with a better design and one that plugs and play with 08+

Here is something that looks less ricey

It's noticeably brighter than stock. Doesn't look too bad. Still a little too ricey for me. I'll stick with my stock tinted tails.

Those are the ones I have.

Mike - would you mind sharing how you were able to wire to make the 2008 to work with these lights?

Yeah, I covered it in a different thread in the Interior/Exterior section. Its titled something about a taillight adapter harness.

Mike can you please post some pics? I would love to seen them on a black SRT.

Found the post:

Did you install load resistor to slow down the blinker/avoid warning light?

The testing showed no need for any sort of resistor. They worked fine as is. I'll put up pics on Sunday after I do the final install.

I take it you have a 07-09?

A couple of ways to do it.

There are more if you run a search...

not sure if anyone interested but i recently sold my 06 GCSRT8 and was wondering if any one was interested in these tail lights. Figured i'd ask here before i put them up somewhere esle

no takers?

no takers?

I would start a new thread and list an asking price in the "Parts for Sale section." You should get a bite over there. If I wasn't selling mine, I'd probably take them off your hands.

Those lights look really good. This just gave me an idea for mine.

Yep, just start a thread in the Buy/Sell area. Make sure to include an asking price too BTW.

how easy was the install

how easy was the install

If you have an 06 they are a direct plug and play. If you have a 2007 or newer they need to be rewired. If you re-wire them for the 2007 and up (like mine) you will get both the top and bottom portions to light up with brake and turn signal.

Here is a pic of mine (excuse the dirty rig). That is with JUST the running / parking lights on in the second pic. I couldn't get a decent picture with the brake lights applied. My camera phone can't handle it :D

Did you tint these?

Did you tint these?

No. Not yet. I am still looking for a good painter. They are really bright though as is!!! :D

heyy i have an 07 srt8 jeep and have the same light and i am curious how your wired them. I have the exact light i bought it off ebay and checked compatibility and everything before i purchased it. I just cant figure out how to take the factor harness and wire it to the harness on the aftermarket light. should be plug and play but the plugs dont line up. do you need an adapter between the two connections?

You need a taillight adapter to allow LED taillights to work on any 2007 and up Jeep G C. Otherwise, you will need to cut and splice. My adapter kit is 100% plug and play.

looks good man, get them tinted!

I'm not a fan of the look from the side.

Yep, a black plastic side definitely kills it.
