The first time I saw them posted they were the chrome ones, the black ones look waaaay more subtle and not as busy. Then I looked up and saw the black ones already posted.

I'm getting those f'n headlights though. They look great installed if you ask me.
Does the light shine up through it? There's a guy in KC that actually paints taillights with a black candy paint used for model cars that allows light through. In the day light his tails look black like yours but at night you can't even tell they're not stock.

A friend of mine does taillight "tinting" which achieves the same effect but is sort of dull and doesn't have the candy shine.

If either of those interest you let me know and I'll get ahold of them.

And be sure to take pics when you get the headlights in.

Yeah, the light shines through pretty good. It's a little rough if the sun is shining directly on them though. They look great at night...
This is parking lights only, no brakes.

Man, I love the way the 92-96 tails look at night, I just wish they looked as classy in the sunlight.

Lol, well that makes me feel a lot better about my '98! I always thought the width of the earlier lights made them look cooler lit up than the later models, but I guess it doesn't make that much of a difference.

Here's what I thought of when I saw yours -

--EDIT--

Why is clear corners.com blocked?

He said there has to be two eh? Get a nice black 97+ spoiler with the LED light inside . That way you will technically have 2 visible lights .

My car is a '97, I thought I was OK because of the spoiler light but apparently not.
