Deciding on Taillights (opinions)
 
Hey guys, I have a silver Mazda Pro 4DR 2001, (NOT THE P5!!!!) and I am debating on which tail light to upgrade to, black or the white Euros

I'd stick with the stockers, no question about it.

Kentucky Protege April-18th-2004 05:13 PM

let it marinate before u make ur decision omron.

Omron April-18th-2004 05:52 PM

I am sick of looking at the stock ones, and i have been doing minor things to upgrade the look, custom glow behind the grill and ordered a body kit on the way.

I wanna get the stocks outta there.

I like the chrome but its not me, I was thinkin the black ones but on a silver car it might wack out a little to much. I might just stick with the regular euros clear

Roddimus Prime April-18th-2004 06:34 PM

you want the lights to continue the "theme" of the car...the chrome lights would look good on a car that ahd more chrome accents, maybe wheels or badges, etc....black, same thing...you'd want it to match the other accessories on your car.

Continuity is the key when tactfully modding your ride!

Prote-J April-22nd-2004 11:37 AM

Yeah, I'm thinkin the stock lights look a lot better than the gross lookin clears... I'd have to agree with consensus here.

Myk April-22nd-2004 01:29 PM

If you really want to change them, get the black ones.

Or get which ever, open them up, and paint them silver to match the car.

Personally, and I think most people agree, the aftermarket taillight thing is done to death.

I see minivans with Altezas, and now factory cars are coming out with the chrome surrounded taillights.

Those round red lenses look like big zits on the ass of the car.

The red strip is there so you stay legal. You have to have some kind of red light showing on the rear side of the vehicle to show that it's the rear. When they(clear lights) first came out they didn't have these and that's why it was illegal now they should all have some kind of red on the sides to make them legal.

yeah but i'm saying that some have only like a red circle, i wanna know which company makes the one with the red strip all the way down, instead of a small circle

But thx for that explanation, probably cleared up a few things for some of the other guys who didn't know (including me)
