Anyone install LED Taillights?

being in the halloween spirit, I just noticed in my pic above, it looks like a jack-o-lantern, with the plate light being a nose and the Hummer letters as teeth, etc.. hehehe

Looks good.
you had to cut wires and "rig" it to work on your 09?

I don't want to do that...I have a 08 ..wonder if that's the same.

Very Nice. What are the physical differences in SUV and SUT taillight housings? I am looking to upgrade, but most of what I find is for SUV models. Thanks

WOW I AM SO BUMBED, I TOTALLY SCREWED UP! Disregard my last instructions. I didn't need to cut the wires, it was plug and play!!! The top flat plugs in the pic below plugs into the stock bulb socket. You just remove the bulb ang plug in the LED plugs!! What a freakin moron,.... wow I can't believe I did that...

Also they were correct, I did not need to install their resistor as I am guessing there is one built in to the stock factory '09. I just put in my front LED marker lights and that is how I figured it out. When they originally came in, I thought "damn I have to cut these wires too"... Luckily I pulled the bulb out first and realized the matching plugs!

Sorry about that, glad I caught it and I hope nobody did the same in last 24 hours!

Bump up... read my edited post above before someone else makes same mistake...

Here's the daylight pic. In some angles the lenses don't look as smoked as I would like and the red marker stands out a bit, but I still like the look better than when I did the night shades on my older H2...

I did the night shades on the bottom bumper lights and i should not have clear coated them as they are too shiny compared to the bumper now. I also hate that silver bottom on the 08-09's, on the balck anyway...

Also not a fan of the silver on the bottom. i was at my dealership over the summer and asked about it and they said almost all customers who bought a black 08-09 they painted it black for them

I ordered mine...and it's coming next week.

I double checked w/the vendor...and it's a plug and play.

So, I was going to confirm this once I installed it myself.

I did my front side led blinkers..and they were a plug and play as well...
it goes right in the bulb socket.

works like a charm.
