    A few mods here and there and counting....
    Stock 12-15 taillights are the best looking imo.

    I swapped them out for the eBay special blacked out version.

    Happy with my 2015s. Anything else looks cheap, like a downgrade

    ..except for whatever @ChadsPride has, those look good

    I swapped my ‘15 OEMs for the 05-08 flavor, I cannot stand the chrome taillights they put on the 09+ /puke. I thought about some kinda smoked or 3rd gen look alike, but anything too far from stock starts to look tacky after a couple years, IMO. I was also able to sell my OEMs for more than I paid for the new ones.

    After (lift and blackout too):

    Damn that’s way cleaner looking!

    I like my OEM LED tail lights just fine. If I was gonna modify them, this is exactly what I would do. Very clean.

    Whichever ones keep people texting and driving from rear ending you. I see so many people texting and stopping late. It can’t be that important. I’ve got CarPlay and still don’t check texts until I’m stopped. That’s my PSA/ grumpy old man post for the day. I’ll be adding ambulance flashers and a phone jammer to my taillights to complete the picture.

    This is stoke! So the 05-08 fit your 2015? Literally? Or you just went with the "Style" of the 05-08.
