Default Modified halo LED tail lights

I'm going to be getting the modified halo's soon for my car. Is there any difference between one company and another on these lights? They all look the same in pictures but when I see them on cars some look better than others.

Anybody with the halo's feel free to post up some pictures and where you got them from. I'd also love to see them with tinted tail light covers because that's what I have.

Purchased mine on New Year's Eve from Corvette Envy. They were running a sale at the time, and I couldn't resist. One of my very favorite mods to date.

I bought mine from Corvette Envy as well. Got them for a really good price.
I wanted to tint them but they look really great without tint. I have covers to but havent out them on either.

I already have the tints, and they are definitely staying. I'd love to find a picture of the halo's with the tail lights on and also brake lights on with tints.

Mine are NOT halo modded. I bought mine direct from Corvette Enhancements with tint.





Just to give you an Idea what they might be like with tint.

Those look good - I didn't see that corvette enhancements offered a tinting option on their website, did you have to call them directly to have it done?

You can't even tell that they're tinted when you're on the brakes (or at least that's how it seems in your pics)

First of all, Corvette Enhancements IS the company that offers tinting. It has nothing to do with the Halo lights previously posted.

http://www.corvette-enhancements.com/

Secondly, the car was idling with the lights on. Nobody was in the car.

Put Halos in for my own piece of mine. Nice big bright tail/stop lights. If you tint them defeats the purpose, looks nice but not as bright. Your decision

Radio Flyers are plug and play no hyperflash harness needed. Not sure about the other vendors.

How does it defeat the purpose? If even tinted they are still significantly brighter than the terrible stock lights...

I'm not looking to see how bright they are, I'm looking for pictures of how they look lit up, specifically brake lights because I think the lense itself looks awful in red. The halo looks good, but the middle section does not. When tinted, you won't see the "design" and the led pattern

I have the modified Halos and the black outs. Its a GOOD LOOK and everything works great. Make sure you get the resistors to prevent hyper flash.

These are TRULY plug and play. This is a easy mod to do. All you will need is a screw driver and a pair of pliers.

any chance you can show some pics? Of just tail lights (halo's on) and also with the brake lights on? I'd appreciate it.

Also I already have hyper flash harness for my other LED's so I should be good.

I should not have said "defeats the purpose" I simiply meant it darkens the lights somewhat.
