The 2008 Tahoe Hybrid has LED Tailights! - 12/12/2006 5:33:05 PM    Vanshmack   Posts: 7 Joined: 12/12/2006 Status: offline I was the at LA Auto Show over the weekend where they unveiled the 2008 Tahoe Hybrid. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it has LED tail lamps! I wasn't able to get a picture, but I can tell you that they are different from the Escalade lamps in that the lower part of the tail lights have two rows of about 6 LED's each. The upper part above the back-up light was not illuminated at the show, so I can't say how may LED's, but I can tell you it looked significantly better than the "regular" Tahoe lights! I spoke to one of the Chevrolet reps who informed me that the show vehicle has 100% production styling, so unless something chnages at the last minute, we'll probably be able to fit our non-Hybrid Tahoe's with LED's without havingto Mickey Mouse-wire Escalade lights! I can see a retrofit in my future!! < Message edited by Vanshmack -- 12/12/2006 5:35:49 PM > _____________________________ 2007 Chevy Tahoe 1LT 4X4 1987 Buick Grand National 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser 1988 BMW 325i Convertible Post #: 1

Looks like the back pillar has a hard corner and they took off the side molding.

It seems the fenders are different. They look beefier or something. On the rear of the running board it looks different? All and all, not that facinated with it. If those are the new 20's, i like the old ones better. Happy with mine, but I would take some LED lights, hopefully it is an easy swap. However, it will probably be pricey!

I like the clean rear bumper & Where's the back-up sensors. I like the way the running boards are molded into the body. I would'nt need front mud guards with those.

I kinda like the side view mirrors too- no black plastic, painted to match vehicle color. _____________________________ 2003 Ford F-250, 7.3PSD Crew Cab Super Duty, 1994 Ford Ranger, 2007 Chevy Tahoe (in reply to tahoe07) Post #: 6

I thought that was where you put your favorite NASCAR driver's number or your college logo or the ubiquitous boat propeller. Where's the tow hooks? Like the faired in running boards also.
