Got my new tail lights in the mail yesterday, and I'm not really sure about which one of them I should go with. What do you think?

They are both nice, but I would stick with the originals on your car since the clear indicators pick up on the light highlights on your car with the silver wheels and clear side repeaters

Hmm... I think it looks quite nice with the contrast with dark all red tail lights on such a bright colored car like mine... I don't know... Maybe put some nite shade on them or something... I don't know

Lightly smoked JDM tails would look nice.

I'd use window tint. That way it's glossy and looks good, not cloudy and looks bad. A single layer of 50 should do it.

A hairdryer set on the hottest setting should suffice.

Either fix this one(I hope you are not blocking it's exit due to blowing close to objects), buy a heatgun or make a nice present to your girl with a new hairdryer. What happened to the audi idea? -------------------- |

Maybe a present to her would be nice The Audi idea still stands but need to think about what I should use as lighting... LED's, neon tubes, EL Wire etc. What gives me the best light, can I use them for driving and brake lights and more. Been at work most of my days now, so haven't been thinking to hard on that yet. Got some ideas though ^^ -------------------- |
