VetteLights Laser LED Taillights and 3rd Brake Light Installed
As soon as I saw the 3rd brake light was available, I purchased the taillights and 3rd brake light and installed everything last night. Taillights are easy-3rd brake light in a pain in the butt-but that's no matter what 3rd brake light you are installing.
My previous lights were regular LED taillights, but they were tinted by corvette enhancements. I loved the way they looked when off, but on a sunny day-I don't think you could even see when the turn signal was on.
Now onto the photos-some of these were taken in my garage right after installation, a couple this evening with my brother hitting the brake, and at my parents house when I went there this evening. I already had the side markers and these match perfectly....

Very nice! Congrats. I'm happy with my halos. However, I have been considering the 3rd brake light to match my side markers.

Looks great! I sure wish these had been available when I had my rear fascia removed from the car. I will eventually get around to getting one to match my laser side markers though.

Hamburglers! I really dig those lights but I have a hard time justifying the price they charge for them.
Also LSMAN, do you put on a brand new exhaust system every time you take a picture of your car?

Question on functionality - when headlights/parking lights are off and you hit the brakes, what part lights up? Everything? Or the just the LEDs without the laser/halo part? If it's the latter, could you post a pic of that?

Thanks Everyone.
HAHAHA-I polished the exhaust tips this past Saturday with the Mother's kit that you attach to a drill. LOL -Thanks for noticing.
I believe it's the LEDs inside without the laster/halo portion as you describe. I'll try to get a photo next time I have someone to hit the brake while I stand behind the car.

Vettelights. They are also a vendor on here I believe.

Loving the 3rd brake light. Ordering mine soon, I guess I had better before they run out again. I ordered the laser taillights and fronts a couple of months back. Very happy with Vettelights. So far so good. I too was worried about the safety of the old blackouts- I feel much better with the visibility of these, just no comparison!

The rear lights look very good on your car. Nice set of mods.
