    Also the title doesn't say Depo specifically, just aftermarket. :p

    Looked at the pictures again. Man these look great for aftermarket. If i didn't want mine completely blacked out inside I would probably just get these and save all the work!

    Yes, you are correct sir. My apologies. So...just what is the price of doing it your way? There's no need to keep it a secret is there? Why not just disclose it by posting it? :rolleyes:

    If you get hit in the rear with these tail lamps on your car, the other cars insurance carrier may reduce your claim for having lamps that can not be seen as well. They may even charge part of the loss back you. I did it many times in my 39 years as a insurance adjuster.

    That might be true for the lights that Andrew is modifying because he is either removing or blacking out the reflectors.

    The Depo tail lights, on the other hand, have the same clear lens and reflectors as the stock tail lights so the light they put out and reflect is really no different and is just as visible. The only thing they don't have is the chrome. The non-LED tail lights on the older trucks didn't have any chrome on them either so these are no less safe than those as well. ;)

    exactly, the DEPOs are DOT approved.

    Anyone put the Depo tails into a '14/'15 truck? I know they're all labeled up through 12, and there was some statement about 'classic' '13's on a few of the listings. makes me think there is something different about the wiring, but what I'd have no clue.

    They should all be the same. I think the "Classic" tail lights are the non-LED ones. These are probably on the stripped down base model.

    I really like these lights on my MGM. Not sure if anyone else noticed but the time it takes the LEDs to turn on when pressing the brakes is slower than the stock LEDs.

    I never noticed a difference. I'll have to back up to my garage tonight and hit the breaks.

    I never noticed difference either. Doesn't make sense. If the brake switch is sending signal to activate lights they are going to come on.

    They are cheap Cuda, like $130 I think. A good value.

    Meant by how much slower are they to turn on. ;) I'm close to pulling the trigger, but really need to sell my old truck before I get too deep into the mods.
