I'm also a big fan of upgrading to LEDs wherever I can. But while I appreciate all the work Bravetech puts into his craft, the whole tail lights covered in "dotted" LEDs design looks really outdated to me. These last few years, I've been shocked and pleased to see companies putting out some pretty cool looking aftermarket taillights for all kinds of years/makes/models, even some pretty old ones. I'm especially a fan of the latest versions designed to look like the newest factory tail lights (with the LED light bars) for each respective vehicle. I like them so much that I bought a set as a Christmas gift for my sister and brother in law's '06 Tahoe (mostly so I could live vicariously through them since no company thinks an '03 Lexus ES is worthy of updated tail lights). Those are worth the money to me, as they really update the look of whatever vehicle you put them on. But the Bravetech designs just don't do it for me, and IMO, look worse than the factory lights.

I’m partial to stock lenses with LED bulbs. Really I just like LEDs. I think they’re cool and they look better than stock halogens. They especially look good on GM cars that have the turn signal that alternates with the side marker bulb. I did a full LED swap on my Sunfire with resistors and everything and to me the work is worth it for the look.

Yep..... OEM is original, if one wants to enter their vehicle in a *stock class* show, there can be no visual alterations or it would be deemed modified.

Same, I'd rather put that money down for brand new OEM style tailights.

Yes and no Its cool if you were building a show car for SEMA but I prefer the factory look when it comes to most 1st gens.
