I feel like these lights add back that 2017-2018 style look back to the 2019+ models.

Can someone who has these taillights take a good pic from farther back. I'd like to get a better overall idea of what they look like on our cars.

Honestly if you put them side by side, it makes the older 2017-2018 lights just look a bit more out of date. The Umbra's just look better and the added sequential turn signals are just the icing on the cake.

I love the look of these on the 5th gens and the 2019+ 6th gens. For some reason, they don't look right to me on the 2016-2018 bumpers. I had a set of the red ones on my 5th gen. I loved the look. And they are great quality. I think you'll love 'em!

Personal preference for sure. They aren't cheap but it's a pretty big difference. Some people would rather spend $700 on performance mods. Removing the rear bumper is NOT fun. It scared the Hell out of me. Thought I was going to break it.

Those look good. Do you need an additional "reverse lamp LED harness" with this like you would when swapping LED's into the reverse lights on a 2019+, or is everything built into the included harness and it's good to go out the box?

JBones8, RobZL1, Z OH 6, ZLRob all are looking sweet! I'm glad I order a set! I didn't get time to install mine today, just had too much going on. But I did have time to install this! Cold Air Inductions, Elite Cold Air Induction! I think it looks a zillion times more higher performance! I started her up to make sure there wasn't a check engine light, and wow! I can actually hear a difference in how she sounds! I'm glad I added it! Taillights and then maybe a catch can, and then I just might be done... oh wait, cat back or axel back exhaust will be the last change I make... Wait I have to get my windows tinted and PPF applied, then that's it for sure... shoot I forgot about some new tires! I'm just not a fan of Goodyear, I'm a Michelin Man! I'll look at the Pilot Sport 4S (summer tires). But seriously, that's the last thing I'm changing... dang-it, the stereo needs improved... UGH !!!

So, when I look at the rear end/taillights of my new 2023 ZL1. I personally feel the rounded 2 left and 2 right taillights seem to me more "vette'ish" and not Camaro looking. From my research, in 67'-69' the Camaro had a single left/right taillight assembly. Then during the early 70's (70' - 73'), they sported individual round taillights, 2 left and 2 right. Went back to the single left/right assembly or variants similar until the 2019's came out. Anyway, the Camaro look I like best is more of the single left/right assembly.

So, I bought a pair of the Auto Addict USA's "CHEVY CAMARO UMBRA LED TAILLIGHTS GLOSS BLACK/SMOKE LENS", photo attached. Which I feel mostly gives that Camaro look I've always remembered, but these aftermarkets still look modern. I'm just wondering if I'm making a big mistake by replacing my stock taillights with aftermarkets one. Then is just that one mod to my Camaro going to stand out and look like a sore thumb. Since I'm new to all this I'm asking! I don't want to do anything that takes away from the respect of owning this car, and the incredible master piece that it is.

I also bought a ColdAir Inductions Elite Carbon Series for mine. Since that's under the hood and not seen every time you look at the car, I'm not so concerned with changing it out.
The way I see it is your only giving enjoyment to Mustang drivers if you change the taillights. Maybe it will give them something to talk about.

Yeah... I have too many addictions... wait I mean "hobbies" ! I forgot, I still need to add a pair of Banks gauges and a molded A-pillar to house them. But then, THAT IT IS FOR REAL!!!!!

PS: Is there a good therapy group for Camaro owners I can join! I prefer one that offers telehealth appointments, so I can attend as I'm driving and doing burn outs !!!
