Default Flush tail light kit? which one

I have seen a few different kits and looked around for a flush tail light kit for my c5z but ive seen ALOT of mixed reviews on which one is actually good. Who out there has the best flush tail light kit for a 03 c5z?

I followed this DIY, I was also able to cut the spacers to the length I wanted an though looked good, cost less than 10 bucks.



with JWM leds: need slight spacer adjustment vs stock:

I bought one on E-Bay for about $12 - - -but with the plastic spacer and longer black screw, you can probably do it for less . . . but the kit just made it easy.

People look at the tail and know something's different, but just can't quite put their finger on it. I like not getting dust or water sitting in the bottom of the light scoop . . . . .

Does it have the "gasket" seals for around the lights? If it does, I'll take the kit if he doesn't want it.

Just the spacers and screws.No seals but they are easy to make if you have a Lowe's nearby.

easier said than done; ie, finding the right thickness, the right material, in the right color, getting it to stay in etc.... not whining - just need to get back to it when I have time.

I got mine at Home Depot. It's not rocket science.
