The all red ones my man, nice and clean.

The other ones I don't like at all smoke or not. Reason being is the raised part of the "stillen" lights. The circle part actually protrudes out. Don't know why they did that but it's .

Go with the all red and maybe lightly smoke them. Depending on the style set up you are going with.

My head hurts from reading your posts…

All red 02-03 GLE tails are the bomb.com (I heard that from a 16 yr old girl on MTV so it must be good). The other ones look like garbage.

Hey Pri63, how/where did you get those LED tails? I have a 2001 SE with the stock smoked/red tails. How could I get my hands on some of those? Or was that a DIY job?

both of those look absolutely awful, made worse by the SE-R badge

do a retro to factory tails (any of them...SE, GLE, old reds) and it will look much better.

i like stock 02-03 tails personally, as i like how the turn signal is a different color than the brake light.. but with your options, i say sell the ones you got and go with the ones you're thinking about getting.. the ones you got look too rice

Those tails are the ones that Stillen made. Yet another horrible overpriced part from them. I will say that have some nice reasonable **** but the bad out weigh the good.

They retail for about 300.00 +. There's this kid here with them. They just look like straight ****. Don't know why they made the circle part protrude out but damn!!!

It was a DIY job, I sold two pairs of them to fellow orgers, and am in the process of selling the pair on my car. Unfortunately they're tim4 consuming to make and the price is pretty high for what people want to pay. I might consider making them in the future again.
