Which tail lights?

[fordman_01]

hey all. need some opinions on which tail lights i should use on my sedan with ts50 kit. my clear chrome ones or series 2 stock ones. i only bought the clear ones as i wasnt planning to put a bodykit on my car but now i have. the car rolls on 20s and has been lowered on kings lows. so its sits alright.

i have some pictures of each tail light on my car. pictures are really bad and make the car look raised and crap. probs not a good idea taking photo's when parked on hills.

clear taillights:



series 2 stock taillights:



side on (with mates 16s lol)



i am also wanting to spray the headlight bezel blue but am too afraid of putting them in the oven. (have got the tutorial already). Any one know if you can do it with out putting it in the oven?

[kocho]

Leave them stock. ;)

not a big fan of and custom AU light... the stock ones square the back off nicely... haven't sprayed bezels before but the ovens the only way to do it as it melts the glue holding it together

I am thinking about this type

My c ar is quite dark (Monsoon Blue) so I reckon thye would look OK. Don't like the clear though, would stick to standard over that look.

My $0.02's worth

The stock tail lights look the better of the two. :

[WoodysXR6]

Stock for sure its not a ricer. The stock au lights look so much cleaner!

[fordman_01]

yeh thanks for the input so far. im leaning towards the stock ones too. from the side on shot they look nice. once i get better pictures (ones not on hills) ill chuck them up.

[aye you]

let me put it this way mate, i brought the chrome ebay ones thinking they looked good. but i've switched back after getting fed up looking like a ricer boy when ever i walked to my car from the rear

Where are the 20's?

[Mechan1k]

Stock ones are much cleaner ... although I have seen the brake light lens area tinted slightly and the reverse and indicator left clear ... if you do that ... get it done by a spray painter and miax it with the paintwork colour for a cleaner look.

Stock for me

[fordman_01]

[Papa Smurf]

Go for stockies matey. Those other things make it look like a rollerdoor.

[UU TS50]

there shouldnt be any holes behind that badge, there are behind the factory ones but not that one

i think he means that's why the badges are currently there, because there are holes behind them

[Peuty]

Yep, being a Series 1 (I assume, due to the rear boot garnish), there would be holes from the Falcon badge.

The stock ones suit the kit and colour well... BUT... i'm still a fan of chromies on my blue :P

[Peuty]

Are you? Cos I'm not!

[BIGJB]

I have a set of clear ones in the car atm......
The original will be back in it by the end of the week.
Everytime I look at the back of it I think of the rice burner
1 of the guys at work drives.
Any1 want a set of clears pm me.
Will be goin cheap.

[Mr Hardware]

simple answer
stock
otherwise you look like a complete fool, trying to rice up a tough aussie car.

[Anika]

usually I dont like those clear type ones, but for some reason they look better IMHO on yours, than stock.

[Bucknaked]
