I actually ordered some for my 97 GMC Suburban but the seller I ordered them from on eBay sent me a message 3 days later saying they were out of stock. I think they set your vehicle apart from others. They make you stand out.

The LED tail lights were the first thing I bought for my truck, I got the IPCW bermuda chrome series. These are the only tail lights on the market that have amber turn signals in LED, the only thing that I don't like is the reverse bulb is just a standard 1157 bulb.

I just ordered a set of Putco 360 white LED bulbs for them, so that will fix that problem. I have had them for 4 years so far, and I still have all the LED's lit and no leaking or fogging of any problems. Here is a picture of them on my truck, and then I also put up a video so you can see them all lit up at night time. You won't regret getting them I know that, good luck with whatever you buy!

I like the look of the chrome backed LED's. I want to get a pair but I'm too poor.

Saw these at summit racing, thought they looked pretty good, you get the third brake light too and Hella is a pretty reputable company.

Those Hella's just came out about a month ago, those are the best quality lights that you could possibly buy as far as tail lights go. I have seen a pair of Hella tail lights on an F-150 before, and they look really nice at night time. They look a lot like the new 09' Cadillac Escalade tail lights, very crisp and clean lines to them and the fit is very tight. Mine have about an 1/8 inch gap all the way around, I am okay with it but it's not perfection! Whatever you do don't get anything from APC, there stuff turns yellow after a short time I have seen there stuff and the quality sucks from what I have seen. But this stuff is hit or miss most of the time, but like AdamPaul said the third brake light is a nice touch too especially with the tail lights!
