Anyone know of any aftermarket tail lights? I love my 08 Malibu LTZ but I can not stand those tail lights. I call them bubble lights. I am looking for tail lights that are flush with the trunk and not bubbled out.

Funny, I was looking for some too today and found nothing but factory replacement ones so any help for us would be great. I was in PA last week and saw some aftermarket ones on a Black 08 or 09 and it looked amazing I wish I could ask where he got them from.

I'd bet that if you Google searched on the factory item #, you may find aftermarket replacements. That would be worth a try.

Thanks for the feedback. I have been googling for tail lights on and off for two weeks now with obviously no avail. If any comes across any, please post a link if possible. I will do the same.

The only thing I have found is tinted tail light film thats pre cut and available in smoke and dark smoke. Give it some time, if they stick with this body style a few more years there should be parts on the market. If GM closes shop 3rd party accessories and replacement parts for a car that only had a 2 year run wont be very prevalent.

I want some vent visors that mount in the channel with no tape so it doesnt cover up the chrome. I have seen some listed here and there but cant find an actual picture of them on the car or a decent review.

The tail lights are definately my least favorite part. Do you have a link for the lens films?

You could go with the LT taillights. This way you don't have the clear bubble but can still retain the LED tailights??? I have tried several aftermarket LED tailamps in my Jeep GC and have never been impressed. I like the intensity of the LTZ tail lamps, especially at night. Ford is using that same technolgy in the new redesigned 2010 mustang!

Here is a link to an ebay auction

it can be a pain in the ass. just like doing tint....vht makes a tint spray though if you would like to try that route. spray...wet sand...spray (# of coats depends on how dark you want them) then wet sand and clear.....then wet sand

I was thinking about getting my headlights/tail lights smoked. Just buy a roll of it at Wal-Mart and try installing it before you buy and TRY to install a quality product.
