    What kind of tail lights do you recommend?

    Looking for some slick looking tail lights. Anyone have pics or recommendations? I've seen some on eBay that are around $60 but I am not sure if these are garbage or if they will make my car look like fast and furious. Let me know thanks

    anything but stock is going to make everyone here call you Paul Walker. unless they're really clean LEDs and retain a clean oem look, skip

    I don't get why people have this thing with changing tail lights.....Stock OEM, everything else looks terrible and is not of OEM quality. I personally do not get the tint thing either, why would you do something to your car that reduces performance?

    my $0.02

    Something about tinting tail lights just cries out "stupid". Why would you darken the brake lights, something that prevents people from rear ending you? You'll feel pretty dumb if someone hits you because the tail lights are blacked out.

    Not to mention tinting of tail lights is NOT legal in some (if not most) states. I received a ticket 1 week after purchasing my car as the dealer sold it to me with tinted tail lights. $150 later, I had to remove it myself with a heat gun and plastic scraper.....
