I agree. I just purchased a set of black pearl emblems. Been planning to put them on soon.

If you have any other suggestions for other brand of tail lights let me go.

Problem is deciding whether I should go with the smoked bottom or regular Depo , here are current pics of the car.
I voted for another brand as I picked up a set from dotcomracing and couldn't be happier with them.
The fogs are actually smoked too so look very well.



Heres a photo of them on my car.

Depends on where you live. I have yet to see LED's on a GS here in Charlotte, NC.

Im sure you'll like either one. Both have been done nummmmmerous times on the gs, you can even check out the silver gs thread and check out pics there and decide. You could get the clear ones and if you got bored of them, tint them yourself.

The first ones look like sonars. The second, depos. I'm going with the depos, but right now I have the 98-00 cleared tails and I think they look really great! I'll b posting them up for sale so I can waste some money on some leds here after christmas lol
