Default Having Trouble Picking tailights ?

I myself love the stock tailights for my White Xb , but I am going to pick up some BBis black projectors and was wondering if anyone could show me some pics to get some ideas . I was leading towards the black Led tail lights but now just looking to see some pics and do some thinking, thank you all !

you can get led bulbs that plug into the turn signal socket, reverse light socket, and 3rd brake light socket if you really wanted to match

yea but on that set the reverse and turn signal sockets look so close together you would be very limited on your selection of bulbs if any would even fit that close. if any do fit that close you would have what...maybe 10 LEDs in each one? that light would be awesome if it just made the LEDs function as turn signals too

Default I ordered these!

I just ordered these. I have a black xB but I think this is a better set-up. I haven't seen an xB with these in person. I will take pics when I get them later this week, hopefully!

as soon as these are reasonably priced, i will most likely be buying a set like this. I dont understand why these are so much more than the Sonar ones.
