Default 09-11 Black LED lights

Hey everyone,
So I was screwing around with my stock tail lights trying to put reverse HID's in there and my bday is coming up soon so my parents called me in and gave me a present, it was a set of LED tail lights. The stockers worked just fine, had led bulbs in there but these ones are really nice. They didn't fit too well but they look good. Oh and also the resistors the big *** boxes that came with them don't work too well since it still hyperflashes but I'm grateful I got them and I'll post pics up later today.
Just wanted to tell everyone lol

It is this style

Everyone has their opinions, some like them, some think they look ricer. I admit a lot of aftermarket ones look ricer but I think theyre good.

I like them, if I could find a cheap pair I would get that style. My only worry are the bulbs burning out, I heard they're expensive and hard to find. Post pics on truck :thumbsup

I feel really bad about the price, I didn't think they were that much, hell if I knew they were getting me some I would have told them to get me Recon ones for the price but then the whole ungrateful factor comes in if I say return them even though I'm not, its just a lot to spend on a set of lights. I'll post some up later today!
I might need to put some of that foam tape around the edge of the tail light since there is a bit of a gap at the bottom.

I probably don't need the LED bulbs but they'd probably be cheaper to buy them off ebay than to get what I expect out of them.

Those LED bulbs last like 1000000000000x way longer than regular automotive bulbs and draws much less energy and more brighter. I have LED lights in my 02' F-150 and I am much more than just pleased to have them.

I'm surprised, if a bulb goes out, you pop it out and replace it, but on these tail lights your SOL unless its a warranty thing which, fine, but a lot of places would just tell you to screw yourself.

Thank you by the way.

They look very good. Did you have to do any special wiring for them?

No sir, they just plugged right into the 3157(?) plug and then screwed into the back of the tail light. There were some big *** resistor boxes that I stuck inside the box but they don't seem to do all that much
