When I traded it in I was able to remove the LTZ stuff and put back the stock. When I owned my first Gen7, an '09 2LT, I bought the LTZ housings and harness. That's a minor issue but still something you'll have to be concerned with if you're gonna do it right.įor all the effort involved it isn't worth it in my opinion. The incandescent bulb bounces off the housing reflector as well, but it's also directly visible, unlike the LED.

So the LED's output has to bounce twice before it's even seen. The LTZ LED is at the bottom of a clear tube that shines red light up to a specially-formed mirror that then reflects the light into the large housing reflector. Even without a ticket, you'd be blinding other drivers, which should be your first concern. If I were to attempt it, I'd look into popping the lens off instead of trying to swap the bulb attachment.Īnd as above, you would need to provide some kind of red coloration for the bulb's output, otherwise you could end up with a ticket. Like says, you can mod the housing to allow an incandescent bulb to be behind a clear lens.
