I among others have emailed these people to do the black taillights, and it looks like they finally listened.

looks way better than the chrome, and cheaper...I dunno, might buy a set

Still too "ricey," but what ever floats your boat! Why don't you just paint the taillights with 1-3 coats of black? There's people on here that have done so and they look great! Better than the ones you are showing; imo of course

Can someone photochop those lights on my car? It may look good on darker cars.

It's rough and the angles are all wrong but for what it's worth....



Personally, I like your painted ones better.

(do the restrictions also preclude attaching photos on these forums? I haven't felt this 'second class' in a long time)

I like them.
Deus you got a night shot with your parking lights on? That joint looks real sweet, I just want to see the light output. You had them painted not tint sprayed right? These would look even better tinted or painted IMO...

These things still suck!! Black or chrome or whatever color they put them out in!! Whoever designed these things should be banned from ever designing a tail light again. (can you tell I feel strongly about these?)

Can't someone figure out that it's as easy as this:



( I know I forgot the reverse lights but you get the idea, M45/G35 round led's)

DeusExMaxima, are your tails stock?
I'm interested to know if any1 has tinted their tails on top of the ugly "altezzzas" (wow, i haven't heard or seen that term in a while)

Me like that one! You should apply for a job at the place they keep f***ing up at with tail-lights!

I think the other ones would be ok if they were spray tinted or had dark overlays from Bat, because then you wouldnt see the funky design underneath, but the lights would be fine when the tail lights or brake lights came on.

By the way, thanks to you and pneumatic for the photochop!!!! Without help like that, its hard to envision what it would look like.

My tail lights are stock, and I had a shop paint them with dark tint. They look MUCH better in person. Lots of nice comments.

Heres a pic of my brake lights at night:

Well guys glad you like them, it's pretty easy to make it look good, I guess all you need is some common sense and a little bit of style..
We need to find out who actually manufacters these and start a petition and send it to them with my photoshop!

i don't kno i think there's someone in lik middle east that has his skyline on cardomain. he did his own costum led tails. i mean he said it wasn't hard. just very very time comsuming.

buh yo serioulsy...i kno if thats shyt comes out hella lot of people are goin to get it. lolxz. i don't kno y they don't do it!!!

basically: keep that crop design. make the larger circle bigger, and higher up into the corner. and then place the reverse lights under the larger circle lik corner lights. and place the holigrams in between the circles. cause i kno holigrams are manitory. nd i think u have a complete set of tail lights. too badd i don't kno how to crop. otherwise i wuold love to show you guys wuh i'm thinkgin rah now. i think u would love it.

J: Looking great with the tint. Great eye for a design.
MisterSparkle: I agree. I think a bit of adjustments like u said and the LEDs for our cars would look really sharp.
