Question Aftermarket Smoked Tail Lights??

Hi guys. I'm trying to find a nice set of red smoked aftermarket taillights but all I come up with are the Recon brand. The Recon's are very nice looking but with the Recon brand you have to cut and splice wires, they don't make a direct plug in which usually tells me the kind of product they are.
Does anyone know of a different brand? I've searched quite a bit and come up with nothing??? I really want to change out these ugly ones on my 07 and want to keep it as close to factory looking so the police don't bug me constantly.
Thanks....

Im pretty sure the 07s have a different harness so you have to splice them to get them to work

annabelle, when you did your tail lights did you pull them a part to paint or just paint the out side of the lens???

Would these be out of the question? I have some ebay Led tails on my 04 and they are perfect, bright and noticeable.

I have some friends that own body shops ,and I had them spray my factory taillights with a transparent black clear. This smoked the taillights but still allowed plenty of light to get through. Unlike blackout covers that don't allow any light through.

I wish i could figure out how to put pics on here so I could show them off they are sweet. Also way cheaper than buying new lenses ,and way more custom.

Those red LEd tails would look sweet on your truck, and are DOt approved.

Just plug and play.
