Well, I changed out the tails, brake light and mirrors. Attached are the pics...The 3rd brake light is blacked out but it has LEDs that alternate from dim to bright when the brakes are applied. Really neat to see it work.
I'll be selling or trading the OEM tails, 3rd light and mirrors over the next few days if anyone is interested. All are in really good shape. PM me if interested

Mirrors are a mega nice upgrade! Can't quite see the whole look of the tails from that picture angle. Get a night video of the 3rd brake light if you can. Or better yet, explain the dimming thing more?

Looks good though! :thumbup:

Many thanks for the comments below are answers to the questions above. I will try to take more pics of the mirrors and 3rd brake light tonight after baseball practice. We won the regional and are now in the State quarterfinals for the first time in over 10 years so I am practicing alot these days. But anyway, right now I am going with the red/black theme but I may eventually paint all the handles and mirrors. I have the extreme graphics package which is in black so I was trying to keep some of the black accents...See my profile album. But I appreciate all the comments and reccomendations. The windows are tinted in compliance with state laws and they actually look darker in the sun sooo. BTW if you are doing the mirror upgrade talk to the wolf as the mirrors need 3 washers on one stud and shave the longest plastic locator pin so they fit flush and tight. He provided pictures and input on the NOrcal site...Heck of a guy. I posted items for sale or trade in the classified section

The mirror link is
Street Scene Cal-Vu Sport Mirrors

The 3rd brake light with normal cargo link is
eBay Motors: 04-08 CHEVROLET COLORADO LED 3RD BRAKE LIGHT 05 06 07 (item 250410143513 end time May-19-09 13:39:42 PDT)

The 3rd brake light completely blacked out is
eBay Motors: 04-08 CHEVROLET COLORADO LED THIRD BRAKE LIGHT SMOKED (item 170320770363 end time May-12-09 14:45:43 PDT)

The 3rd brake light required a little rewiring and it comes with no instructions but it was easy enough to figure out. It also comes totally blacked out as well but I wanted to keep the cargo light functionality

When brakes are applied the leds come on bright then alternate from dim to bright much like a turn signal does for about 6 cycles then remains bright.

The tails are made by JDM who also manufacturers the Halos and I wanted them to match so here is the link
eBay Motors: 2004-2006 CHEVY COLORADO GMC CANYON BLK TAIL LIGHT 2005 (item 360152525625 end time May-08-09 21:50:38 PDT)

Hope I answered everything if not feel free to post your questions and I'll do my best to answer them as soon as I have a chance.

All items are on the classified section right now. The tails are probably sold waiting on a reply from a few guys but several want the tails no bites on the brake light or mirrors yet...I will probably put them on Ebay in roughly 3 days if noone wants the balance and thanks for the comments
