From what I paid I'm afraid to tint them, not to mention any tint at all is considered illegal and was pulled over for tinted tails and got these to replace the tinted ones. I don't think ill be tinting them anytime soon. I really like the light output they have now because they are so bright, if I tinted them I would be limiting that as well.

I saw an 04+ at Walmart in our city yesterday, with LED tails like yours.
Looked kinda... out of place with that car, Yours look pretty nice actually.

What color was it? The LED tails don't look nearly as good on dark colors IMO, unless they are tinted.

Eh, I really don't like the look of these at all to be honest. But it's your car not mine. I'd definitely feel a lot safer from getting rear ended with the LED's though.

I bought the tinted LED tails and I love em'! With the smoked lenses they don't stick out as much and they are incredibly bright when you hit the brakes. They were quite a bit, but I haven't regretted them for a minute.

The altezza's at least fit the car's lines somewhat. The LED's just completely contradict the rest of the car, nowhere on the Grand Prix are there any squares or edges like the shapes of the lights in the LED's. I'm sure they're nice to have because of their brightness but they just look like they were put together extremely quick without any thought to design appeal.

[/b]They are def nice to have with brightness, seeing how bright they are they def will alert the motorist behind me, even during extremely bright mid-day scenario. Also I can see a lot more when backing up at night because of the bright red light that illuminates everything and the white light from the reverse is a lot brighter because nothing is blocking or limiting the light. Overall they function like taillights should have with the car, but yes I agree they do not have near the looks that stock tinted or even brand new stock lights can offer the car, but I actually for once chose functionality over looks.

They're not exactly my taste either, but to each his own.
Is your left pipe hanging lower than the right side?

Is your left pipe hanging lower than the right side? Yup just a little bit. Checked all the hangers and everything and nothing is out of the ordinary. May have to redo the piping that leads to the exhaust tip.
