Whether you need a specific bulb or a chrome housing as well, take your time when sorting through this comprehensive selection of taillights to make sure you pick the right parts for your GMC Sierra 2500.

What are the Sierra 2500 taillight types?

Considered the gold standard for vehicle lighting among automotive enthusiasts, high-intensity discharge, also known as HID, taillights use tungsten electrodes and gas discharge to create an incredibly powerful blaze. HID bulbs are rated to last about 2,000 hours. Light-emitting diodes, or LEDs, are a futuristic technology that use up a minuscule amount of electricity and take up a tiny amount of space. You could fit a dozen high-powered LED bulbs in the palm of your hand, making this an immensely versatile technology. Most impressively, LED lights are rated to last for 50,000 hours of continuous use.

What are the advantages of smoked taillights?

While smoked taillights produce the same amount of illumination as their conventional cousins, these innovative brake indicators make use of a lightly tinted film to appear darker on the road. Set your GMC Sierra apart from the herd with the covert look imparted by smoked taillights.
