If you have a hard time picking out your car or truck from all the like models in the parking lot, maybe it’s time to give your ride a personal touch, an identity that makes it uniquely yours. These LED tail lights from Spyder are a great way to start your vehicle on the path to exclusivity. For a small amount of cash, time and effort these lights will transform the back of your chariot and give it a look that’s far from what rolled off the assembly line. The designers at Spyder create their lights for each specific make and model, ensuring that the styling will be much more interesting than what the factory imagined but at the same time complement your vehicle’s fine lines.

These lights include the style, superior illumination and added safety that you can only get from LED lights. LED lights are the most advanced form of lighting. Their compact size makes it easy to arrange them in distinctive patterns, as seen on many late model luxury cars. They’re extremely durable, with an average lifespan of 50,000-336,000 hours, which means they’ll probably outlast the rest of your vehicle. The light they produce is much brighter, cleaner, and more attractive than incandescent light. Though, these are not just LEDs but also fiber optic strips that provide amazing illumination. Due to the utilization of fiber optic instead of standard bulbs, the lights are vibration-proof and therefore can boast of an exceptionally long service life as well. Furthermore, fiber optic materials neither produce heat and IR or UV rays nor contain mercury, making the product completely friendly to the environment and human beings.

Every Spyder tail light undergoes a rigorous testing and quality control process before it leaves the factory. All wiring is tested to make sure the light is completely functional, and the housing is sealed with high quality silicone to ensure that no moisture can become trapped inside. Spyder tail lights are designed to exactly replace your factory lights, however some electrical wiring work may be required. Most lights come with detailed instructions to guide you through the installation.

Please check your state regulations to make sure whether smoke lights are street-legal. Their usage may be life-threatening if used on roads or highways.

These impeccably durable Spyder lights provide outstanding performance under the most extreme temperatures ranging from -40C - +80C as well as have superior voltage protection over and under 12.8V to prevent damage caused by overloading or short circuit.

If you want too fix the cheap ones that hyper flash or do not signal when pressing the brakes theses are it drop in ready. No modifications needed with these taillights

Would recommend, just put on my 2016 wrx. I was confused on how to install sense it wasn’t plug and play, but once I read the installation guide it was really easy, basically just have to take out all the electrical from the OEM and plug it into the new, took me maybe 20 mins. Loved the result.

Instructions were pretty much generic, but YouTube shows how to remove factory tail lights (2 trim pieces and 2 screws per side). Very pleased to learn they have built-in diodes to prevent hyperflash. So NO aggravating resistors to install. You will have to unplug factory harness from underneath the vehicle as these come with it's own harness which plugs right in to factory connections. Price is much better than others I've found online. The ONLY complaint is the running lights aren't super red. They almost have a slight pink tint due to them shining through the white bars.

Out of all the of the aftermarket lights I’ve gotten, these have been the least problematic. Blew a fuse when I installed them but that was an easy fix. I’ve had these since late 2022 and they’re still going strong. One of the edges has chipped so I’m not sure how that happened but it doesn’t affect the performance of the light so I don’t mind.

Good build quality and look really good. All lights work as they should and are crisp and clear. The sockets on the housing are a little lose when twisting in the wiring harness, but it holds it enough that things aren't just wiggling around. Has good fitment and follows the body lines as good as OEM, if not better. Also doesn't affect or cause problems with cruise control like I've seen other people have with cheaper versions of these taillights. Overall really good product. Would definitely reccomend to anyone looking for an updated look on your truck.

Look GREAT but Resistors Failed After 12 months
Spyder® - Black/Smoke Fiber Optic LED Tail Lights
These taillights look and work great. They really changed the look of the truck however the LED resistors burnt out after 12 months and now the turn signals blink hyper fast and dash said a taillight is out. Contacted Spyder and they don't have replacement resistors so now I need to buy new ones or move one. Honestly, I'll probably buy new ones and hope they work longer as I'm not going back to the old red ones!

Fit perfectly for my 2009 Yukon Xl and I couldn’t be happier! Definitely recommend.

Good Lighting Cheap Plastic
Spyder® - Chrome/Red Fiber Optic LED Tail Lights
I like the lighting these taillights provide better than OEM, but a couple small details make these lights subpar. First off the holes for the light receptacles are keyed different than OEM making the connectors face weird directions when locked it. This makes disconnecting and connecting the connectors a pain. Secondly the lights don’t fit as tightly against the shell as OEM, so the corners closest to the bed are about 1/4 in away from the shell. Seems like not a big deal till you bump one of the corners with your leg and the corner breaks off. The red lenses go past the black plastic backing on these, which probably also helped. They do not on the OEM. Will be buying the OEM light, to replace the one that was damaged. CARiD shipped quickly.

Less than a year and a half later, the left LED tail light has stopped working. Indicates poor build quality.
