I need an opinion on which tail lights people on here think look better on my s1 s-pac Falcon (silhouette black).
I'm thinking either these black altezzas: These ones (dark chrome? dunno) Or the series 2/3 ones: Thanks for any suggestions!

Black ones on a black car. Or the s2/3 ones.

If you choose the 1st ones it'll look like my car from the back :P. Most people will say the series 2/3. You could always tint them. I'm not a fan of chrome, whether it be shadow or the normal kind.

Bit dodgy, since it's off my phone:
I've been leaning towards the s2/3 ones the whole time, takes away the aftermarket look which I hate.

They are all around 150, give or take. The s2/3 ones can sometimes be bought pretty cheap, though I can't find any too cheap at the moment and I only want brand new ones.

S2/3 ones and if you really want to individualise them, apply a VERY light coat of Nite Shades to them. Yes it is illegal but if you do it very lightly you should be right.

Go the series 2/3 lights. If you must get the altezza's, well, just don't.

Get the black ones (not chrome). They actually look pretty good once fitted.
Every man and his dog has the AU2/3 ones, and it's not really a mod if you fit them as they are a stock part, so what's the point in paying for them? Just go to your local taxi mob and ask if they'll swap.

I have the second ones on my car.
I don't mind all three tho. For the least bit of negative feedback, you're prob best choosing the S2/3 standard ones.

I like to Dark chrome tail lights as it would stand out abit more i think as it looks completely different then the Genuine ford tail lights.

the second set, but with black instead of chrome inserts.
the legit lights are the classiest, but as far as aftermarket ones go the 2nd set is the pick of the bunch. |

I've got the first set, don't look too bad but am thinking of getting the factory ones tinted body colour along with the side indercators and headlight covers. If I get done I cna always change back to the a/m ones.
