New Anzo LED Tail Lights on FM *Smoked*

Here are my new Anzo LED tail lights with BlueBat's light smoked overlays. I applied the overlays myself, and also installed them myself. The overlays took me about 2.5 hours and the install was about 1 hour. In order to plug in the lights, you have to take the bulbs with the harness out of the stock lights, pull out the bulbs, and plug the LED connectors into the stock harness. I was

at first, but then figured it out.

I am very happy with these lights and will post if/when anything goes wrong with them. They look great at night and will post night shots soon.

LEDs on

Those don't look bad at all. Good job!!

Yeah overlay installs on the tails are the worst. I tried overlays when I got my TYCs. After an 1 1/2 hrs of frustration, I decided that lens paint was the answer.

thanks everybody! Yeah, I was pretty proud of myself, so my fiance made me french toast for lunch! hahaha, he didn't think it could be done. The overlays were a b!tch, but I was pretty determined.

tCKnight, good luck with your install, and please post up a pic!

^that would look nice! Go for it! They sell the clear Anzos and smoked on eBay.

I originally wanted to dark smoke them, with just the bottom white part showing, but the chrome is VERY bright on the and would look off.

i love your tailights! i know it took you 2.5 hours for the overlay but on a scale of 1 to 10 how hard was it (10 being the hardest)?

Looks pretty good with the smoked look on those taillights. I like the tyc better though, i like the orange, its more visible when you hit the turn signal.

What I don't understand about these lights, is why are there LEDs on the side of the light? Anyone who has them, do you know why?

I think it's for other motorists to see the end of your car at night looking from the sides. LEDs have limited viewing angles unlike the standard bulbs. Somebody correct me please...
