    Well if you say so but...

    Some people shop @ Walmart... others go to the Mall.

    It is all subjective.

    Re: tail lights.

    So, does anyone have any idea where to get the smoked tail lights beside Parts4Euro? I ordered them and smoked side markers on August 13.

    Side markers came in a couple days, but I can't get any sort of response or answer (phone or e-mail) on where my tail lights are - or even if I'm going to get them.

    AAAaaarrrrrgggghhhhh!!!!!!!!

    Re: tail lights.

    If I can't find smoked Hella lights, then I'll go the spray route. Although we may have recently found a new shrink style film that may work too.

    If not try the jonstintedtails.com they are way better than the DIY. I have seen many homebrew jobs and they all look bad.

    Just be careful when buying on the bay. Some of the products are cheaply made in China, and not the genuine article from Germany.

    I guess no one likes the LED tails? They have a nice modern look and they are nice and bright when you hit the brakes.

    I ordered mine from going-fast on ebay over a year ago. I am happy and I think they are pretty reputable as a seller.

    I always try to get contact with any ebay seller prior to bidding. I get emails and at least 2 phone numbers and an address if possible. I have realized if they are good about replying to emails they are usually pretty good about working with you if there is a problem.
