    Which lights do you like?

    So I already have 'diamond clear' stock looking lights, not projector or anything, just a stock 6-piece look with the clearer lens and amber sides but I'm thinking of these:

    I actually planned on these:

    and having the Street Lethal do a smoke tint on them.
    They just started selling the first ones and already come smoked.
    I want to go with a one piece and not look too rice, I think the black out will match my black moulding and dark tint.


    What you think?

    We really looked at the one piece lights for the wife's vert, she liked the "look". After digging into them, I went with a set of clear corner ones from LMM ... I don't think the one piece will look right on your car ... Just make it faster and worry about how the tail lights look to everyone :D

    I just removed my 1 piece lights and replaced them with the stock style 6 piece smoked. It looks alot better. The 1 piece lights sucked at night, they had no aimable pattern and were coming apart and getting water inside.

    This will be a tough call. I guess I can always install mine and then tint them or change if not what I wanted. I actually like the covers on my car with the trim/tint (originally bought them to cover a scratched corner lenses from the college parking garage) but others say it looks cheap and might not hold on at 165mph, they've done OK at 149 ;)
    Here a few more pics:

    I would do a 3 piece. Not a fan of the one piece set-ups. They make a couple different smoked ones to go with your smoked out theme

    Neither J. I would call Lou and get the Factory type with clear corners. I had the smoked clear ones on mine long ago. Then bought the stockers from Louie with clear corners, best exterior upgrade I ever did. Added so much to the stalker front...
