Nope I'm getting it too.

I don't like the aftermarket tail lights, so I'll vote option 3. None of the above.

If the lights came in RED, they'd look good. Like it had red where the black is.

Well since I cant see either of them, i'll take a wild guess.

Please oh please do not go with chrome tailights, BAs dont deserve ricer appliances.

I don't understand the need to change the factory tail lamps. Some of the aftermarket tail lamps look absolutely schizen hausen : .

Black would look better on red.
I would like to get some for my Black car, at least it would be colour coded.

Ohh, and the ones from AWC look better than the EBAY ones in the photos IMHO.

If your wanting to put it on the XT with stripes in your display pic, i wouldnt bother, spend the money on having the stripes removed and some 18 / 19 inch alloys added.

HAHAHA

hmm... if you MUST rice up your BA, i would go the BLACK ones... they are less ricey than the chrome ones, which would make the car look like a $2 job.

If i were you, i wouldnt spend, i mean.... Waste my money on those tail lights..


let us know what you decide anyway, i promise, i wont laugh at you.... much. :hihi:

In the flesh (or plastic) the black ones look quite good but it's a whole lotta money for something you already have (working lights)
Your sig has audio mods, going by that perhaps put it to something performance wise.
Bit plain going all out on audio & visual stuff and having no performance mods.

There are two things that really bother me:
1. Aftermarket/euro/jap/rice/rubbish tail lights
2. Excessively large wheels

I vote number 3 - none of the above.

What would look better is going to Ford and buy BF taillights with the clearer looking red lenses and LED look lighting. (not cheap I know ... but better than the Altezza-style taillights.)

Much better than those taillights.

The black surround taillights would look kinda OK on black/silver/white only though.

If your going to change them, go black, chrome just don't suit the car (to my eyes anyway).

I saw a set purchased off ebay, and in my opinion, i reckon they were poorly made.... too light weight etc.
