There aren't very many choices that don't have the "ricer" look to them. There are a few choices. Recon has some nice ones, but they can be pricey. Niteshade has become pretty popular; but too dark can (not necessarily will) give you some problems with the Law

Nightshade is first

Aftermarket is second.

I'm not a huge fan of the Niteshade look, I think aftermarket replacements complement the truck better. That being said, some are much, much better than others. Do a bunch of research and shop around; prices are pretty good recently.

These are my Spyder LED tail lights (and third brake light). The overall quality of the light is amazing. However, remember to cover up any areas that aren't sealed for condensation. Also, the wiring pins do not line up and aren't even close. You just have to strip the wires and wire it up yourself (it only took me 30 minutes and I just turned 17). Overall I really like them, although I might nightshade them. I nightshaded my friends stock tails and I really like the darkness of them.

That was my thought at first, but they were a gift from my dad who really took the time to make sure they were top of the line. They have grown on me but to top it off they were free. Lol
