I have these and love them. One of the best mods out there. How can GM not install LEDs on a 60k car is beyond me.

Ordered them last week and they arrived yesterday. Paid $270 shipped. Took about 15 minutes to install. Love the look!

Love the look. Great. I have the same question as Lubrecon. Does someone make an LED for a full width spoiler?

$400

Very easy install. You can do it yourself in 20 minutes. Eagle Eyes is the ONLY manufacturer of this particular style LED tail light for C6s.

Check out my thread for lots of photos (throughout the thread) and instructions.

very easy to do, you only need a #10 torx I believe. I also had mine tinted very lightly - a dark cherry look, not the blackout look

Lots of cars that cost less are coming equipped with LED from factory. One thing I notice is that LED on some cars set of the Valentine One even in (L)ogic mode.
