2k tail lights or 2k2 tail lights???

Here's the situation:
I purchased a set of 2k2 hids and the seller when ahead and gave me the 2k2 tails too for free. Right now, I have the 00 GXE red colored tail lights. I have been debating whether I should install the 2k2 or simply just keep the 00 GXE tails. Suggestions welcomed

Personally i would go with the 2k2 taillights. I dont like the taillights that come on the GXE.

I would go with the 2k2 tail light, personally, they look better than just all red. That's another reason why I have a SE.

No, I don't want to paint nothing. I don't like those SE tails (black). Its either 2k2 tails or keep my 00 GXE tails. I like both.

I would go with the black tails, personally. But if you aren't interested in doing that, I guess I would go with the 2k2 tails. I'm not voting though, because I don't like either of them.

Guess its 16 to 1. I thought about it and I'm going with the 2k2 chrome tails. Its just every time a see a 2k2-2k3 maxima, I think about how they would look on mine. Don't get me wrong, the 2k tails are cool but I guess I just want to change it up a bit. Thanks everyone for all your votes. PEACE

I hope the 2k2 tails came with the harness because when i wanted to buy the all chrome ones they told me it was made for the 2k2 2k3 and that i would need to change my harness for the bulbs to fit. Its faily cheap they said at the dealer but just wanted to give you a heads up on what you can expect.

Slap on the 2k2 tails. They'll be a better match to the HIDs and to your white max.

They didn't come with the harness. I just order some from jerry rome nissan. They some promotion of 30% off so both came out to $27 instead of $40. Thanks RIP

Yeah, I'm not voting either in protest to the blatant discrimination against the black framed tail lights by not even having a spot on the poll. But if you want my OPINION, keep the red ones you have... the clear tails are a lil to yuppie rice rocket for me...

Clear Tails

Changed my 2000 GXE from the red to the 2002 clear; looks MUCH better on the gold. Sold the 2000 lights on E-bay.

Oh, they were on the wish list, now they are on the installation list. I bought kloogy's maxspeeds a few weeks back.

I'm going with the 2k2 lights, but now I need hew harnesses, which are in backorder, but will get soon. Thanks evryone for your votes.
