Who makes these tail lights, very cool! - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ChevLoRay · 12-16-2007, 10:13 AM

I've looked at these before, but not very close. A closer look shows just how unique they are. I had wanted to french my taillights and backup lights, but these are super nice. The effect is what I like and may very well jump on. Heck, I'd save the cost of the new trim that surrounds the lights. I just gotta figure out how the tailgate trim will look without the light trim, OR just eliminate it altogether. It's a decision I gotta make soon.

heavy71chevy · 01-09-2008, 06:11 PM

i like the look but i hate the price man ouch

Musclerodz, Do you have any idea when the sidemarkers will be done and will they be available in clear? Thanks, Lane

Andy4639 · 01-10-2008, 03:26 AM

Here is a couple of pictures with and without the factory trim.

I hope there done soon. I should have the first set available as soon as they are released. I doubt they will be available in clear, but i will check.

What about the 3rd brake light?

Those are slick rick! I'm in

Andy4639 · 03-09-2008, 06:13 AM

Well maybe I need to sell my regular LED'S & clear lens when you have both the lens & LED'S. That maybe just the ticket for my truck as well.

smoky02 · 12-15-2007, 07:16 AM

Thanks

Frizzle Fry · 12-15-2007, 07:24 AM

I like em. and the side markers too.

Rokcrln · 12-15-2007, 01:20 PM

I agree they are not for everyones DD but they are for mine

I like to be different and they have such a nice clean look to them. Just to clear up what people are asking about welding up. Here is a pic of what I will need to weld up on Low Buck in order to make these look their best. The lights come with a very nice CNC'd trim ring that is part of the lense, your stock tail lights do not have a trim ring on them it is on the body it self so having both might not look right and this is why they say to weld up the old ones. You do not need to weld anything to put them in as they bolt (screw) right to the stock bucket. The side markers are not yet available according to Mike at Musclerodz (he is a Vender of these parts).

Thanks for all the info that I was looking for!

Im gonna have to buy a set of those too. Ive allready decided i want to put truck taillights on my panel since I cant find any others that would fit it right.

Musclerodz · 12-16-2007, 07:58 AM

I will re-clarify my statement to say factory factory trim holes if installed. No I would not bolt these to a $2500 beater either, but if you are building a high end truck, these are a got to have item. Still working on the led's. the company that is working with me to produce them can't seam to get a small enought led to go behind the bezel where the fit is tight. The other company that I would prefer to make them will cost 50% more to sell, but will be a 10x nicer product in the end.

I have some bulbs from Ledtronics that are super in my stock buckets. They have a 10mm stop LED, while the remaining 27 bulbs are smaller. They're super bright, and not cheap, but they fit in the taillight bucket without any problems.

smoky02 · 12-16-2007, 07:56 AM

I just ordered these yay...LOL

Ordered mine last night...

Whoo, Hooo. Got my new tail lights installed last weekend. The weather was beautiful in my part of The Great White North and I even got the truck out for ride.

I have to tell a story about the customer service at MuscleRodz. When I received the first set of lights, the lenses were loose and would have rattled on the truck. I sent an email to Mike on Saturday to inform him of the problem. I received a reply before the weekend was out. He arranged shipment of a new set with Marquez on Monday and I had the replacements before the end of the week. The new set was perfect, I installed them and they look amazing.

A number of people on this thread have talked about how expensive these are but, let me tell you, if you have a nicely finished truck, these put the icing on the cake. They fit flush with the opening and look super clean.

Again, kudos to both Mike at MuscleRodz and Marquez Design for their top notch product and service.

Can you put the LED'S inside them like the factory ones? If so that would even better!
Your truck looks great as is but I have the clear tails with LED'S already.
I don't mind changing back to the red lens though just want to keep the LED'S.

I just have regular bulbs in mine. I can't see why you wouldn't be able to run LED's... The bezels mount just like the factory lenses would. MuscleRodz will probably chime in and let you know what your options are.

Andy4639 · 03-07-2008, 11:25 PM

Thanks,
I hope maybe some one will have done this. I like the bezal and lens. I been real concrend about being stoped with the clear lens but so far I haven't.

Here is the deal on the LED's. Standard LED's you buy like the homemade kits being sold on this board and the ECE kits will not fit behind the Marquez lense. Not enough room in the reflector half of the light. We are having full panel LED lights made specifically to work with these bezels. I should have the protoypes in my hands in the next week to 10 days. These LED's will be the sickest on the market and about the same price as the ECE pieces. Oh, did I mention they are also sequential?

Very clean truck you have. Customers with trucks like yours they definitely put that finishing touch on a ride. Hopefully, we will see side markers sooner than later. I think I will steal your pic for my website to show tham installed.

It seems like board vendor Musclerodz has them.
