Default Molded Rear Black Out Kits!!

We have started carrying these after putting them on some of our personal cars and what a difference from the flat style!!

#Here is a Video from a customer who just installed these VetteNuts Molded Light Kit

Seven Piece Rear Molded Blackout Kit

$89.99
Order Here

4 Piece Molded Tail Lights Only
$69.99
Order Here


What you will get:
  • 4- MOLDED Taillights covers
  • 2 -Reverse lights covers
  • 1- 3rd brake light cover
Don't be fooled by other kits that are only 4 pieces and are the same price!!

  • Years: 1997 to 2004.
  • Fits: C5 and ZO6
  • Material: Acrylic
Installation:
  • Taillights re-use the factory screws for a tight and secure fit (much harder to steal then the other kits that use velcro, wont fall off either) Reverse light covers and 3rd brake light cover use heavy duty CLEAR 3m double sided tape to securely attach them This means you will not see the tape outline when the third brake light is on or when the reverse lights are on.
  • Our lens covers are molded to the curve of the factory tail lights. A perfect fit.

Complete color install instructions are provided.
When you turn on your parking lights or use your brake lights they are still highly visible through the blackout covers.



Order Here!

Depends on the state however we have never been pulled over and ran much darker versions over the years. I don't think you will have any problems.

Do you have any pix of one of these on a white background and/or held up so we can judge the darkness of the tint? Have you tried these on the halo taillights that are so popular on the forum? I don't know if the size, shape and curvature is the same on the halos as the stock ones. It doesn't appear that the screw holes are countersunk, true?

About time, I thought I was one of the few people who really didn't like the other black out kits for the very reason of them being flat. They looked ridiculous.

Nice job.

These will fit the Halos. We have another shipment coming in this week and i can get some photos for you. The holes are not countersunk, you can see the pics above for reference.

Thanks. These look 100% better than the flat style and they will not scratch your stock lights like the flat ones do!

Ordered. Got rid of the "flat" ones a while back due to the weird glare they seem to produce and "smoked" my lenses, but would prefer something more easily removable like these, thanks guys!

also i was thinking about getting the side marker light covers also on your site.. do they match?
The visibility is fine with these, there tinted but no to dark. If you put them on the car and are not satisfied send them back and we will refund your $.

The tinted side markers are the same tint as the tail lights.
