What do you guys think of 2k-2k1 tails on Silver? Which do you prefer? I have my preference, but I'm curious if most agree...

Here is a photoshopped pic for comparison:

They both look good on silver... consider yourself lucky, but the 2k-2k1 SE tails are definately more aggressive...

On a light-colored Maxima, the clear housing looks better. On a dark-colored Maxima, the smoked tail lights look better.

I know I'm in the minority, but I like the 02-03 tails better. Only part I don't like is the amber lens. The only time I like the 00-01 better is on superblack...

I agree with Triple8Sol. I swapped 00's for 03's on my grey lustre and love the new look.

I think it has to do with what look you are going for black for speed, clear for luxury. Just my .02.

Personally, I love the 2k-2k1 tails. It looks more aggressive than the clear ones. IMO, the clears on 2k2-2k3 almost look rice. they should have kept them black. but that's just me.

First thing I did on my sterling mist was to get the 2k2-2k3 tails, I think it looks great on the lighter colors as well....

this is what i used to believe...until this thread -- the 00/01 SE tails look really sharp on the 02/03's...i just hate the amber (that is why I redded it out but it's okay)

i am really split between them (maybe because i have 2k2 tails)

really depends on the color, the lighter colored cars the 02/03's tails look better and the darker colors the black. The only color they both look good on is on the Glacier Pearl/ and the white they used on the 00-01's.

I agree with that, I actually like the clears on all applications, but I do love the black tails on a black Max.

Hmm.. I think without the orange, they will look better. Not really digging the Photoshop...

BTW, I think the 02-03 tails give a nice clean look compared to the 01 SE tails.

I like the black tails, but then again, I have a black 2k, so I'm not really impartial.

Yeah...I agree. They should've made it all red.

I think the 02-03 lights look more expensive (luxury), the 00-01 lights more sporty. It would be nice if they came out with a black (or body color) cover for the 02-03 lights.

How bout this?
Alright, judging by the responses so far, it looks like the 2k3's are preferred on Silver - So, what do you guys think of this idea?? Which looks better? I have a guess...

I just bought a pair of 2k2 tails. I need the 2k2 bulb harness to put them in.
If anyone has an extra pair PM me. Thanks

I think they should have made the 2k2s without the amber lense.

Here are my stock 2k taillights

The best looking lights on the silver are the red clear photoshopped by Housecor. I'd get those if I had a silver or lighter colored car.

I think the smoked 2K-2K1 tails look good on the Glacier Pearls, black, and of course, Sunlit Sand (since I have one). As for the 2K2-2K3 tails, I think they look good on the silver and Titanium and Merlo's, but definitely not the black!

Yeah, that's my favorite thus far too. I remember seeing someone on the org cleared out their blinker like my photoshop, but I can't seem to hunt it down. I know it's a very difficult project...
