Best tailight upgrade ever for a 3rd gen and would love to do it but sliders and a few other things have to come first.

They look great, and yes those are definitely the best tail lights for a 3rd Gen! Can't loose with LED's, haha.

I think I would have to force myself to buy some smoked LED taillights as well since I plan on going for the solid black look.....

Any source for good quality ones? I keep looking at the ones Burtman offer, but those aren't smoked...

The LED tails will fit all years, the sellers are idiots. They would sell a lot more if they would put 96-02 in the info.

They are all made by Eagle Eyes. So they are all the same quality. Burtman only offers the OEM looking ones. You'll have to get the smoked ones off Ebay. But some buyers may offer a warranty.

Yes. You get an entire new tail light assembly. The turn signal is still amber and the back up white is stil lwhite, but instead of a single bulb you get 16 LED's

x2 on that... PnP LED bulbs are worthless compared to these. You'll pay a pretty penny for them too.

I think they are worth it. The reverse bulbs and turn signals are just regular bulbs though. If you want LEDs you'll have to buy some for those on top of the LED tail lights.
