    Does anyone know if the Depo or Anzo taillights are better / brighter?
    I couldn't stand the stock taillights at first because of the while, they have grown on me but I would still rather they be red.

    I bought the Anzo and they were just as bright as the OEM. Good lights.

    Have you had any leaks or LED's burn out?

    What is this "off road" you speak of? :D

    I'm jealous. It's 100 miles + to anything resembling dirt.

    The boating is great, though. So... there's that....

    I haven't had any problems with the Depos. I use a power wash occasionally too, no leaks. No LEDs out. I've had them over a year now. They are as bright or brighter than OEM.

    Thanks guys. Just spent hours waxing my Truck and while I like the chrome bumper, the white lens and chrome crap taillights drive me crazy.
    I may have to add these to the list.

    I didn't at all with the Anzo's on the 2011 and I had them for over a year. Good lights and great price.

    I'd be willing to buy those taillights off you, but you're probably wanting more than I'm willing to pay.

    More than I can afford
    Thinking about getting the Anzos for my truck too.

    The chrome looks so out of place on an otherwise all black truck.

    I went with the Depo base model copy and I'm not sure what to think. Definitely seems a bit brighter and pinker.

    I absolutely despise the OE LED tails. Swapped mine for some base tails.

    Also....as these trucks are starting to age, I'm seeing a few with burned out LEDs.....one here, 2 there. Mine take $2 bulbs when they "burnout".
