2021 LT1 RS: which lights are LED?

Teddydog · 09-04-2021, 11:08 AM

I just bought a 2021 LT1 RS. I'm pretty sure the headlights are LED and the RS , I think, gives LED taillights.

What other lights in the car are LEDs and which are incandescent?

I have seen mention of some nice looking LED side marker lights from Diode Dynamics that I might want to order. What other lights are ripe for upgrade? Thanks.

Not sure about the '21s, but on my '18 these were incandescent: front turn signals, reverse lights, license plate lights, trunk illumination, side markers.

All the incandescent bulbs from the 16-18 MY’s remain with the exception of the front turn signals which are standard LED now

Awesome. Thanks guys.

With my RS, the reverse lights are supposed to be LED, too. So I only need the marker lights, license plate lights and trunk.

While the tail light housings are LED for a lot of the components the reverse lights remain incandescent even through the 22 MY, you can verify this yourself by taking a quick look at the reverse lights and you will see the bulb. It’s a common misconception the 19+ refresh became a full LED housing but my 19 ZL1 also had incandescent bulbs before I swapped them.
