Default Quick Q about an ebay led tail...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/03-04...spagenameZWDVW

Is the red strip across the center just the required red reflector?

TIA

Yea not a fan of this particular model (I'd probably go for a 'smoke'/dark one), but have seen this red strip on them.

They make a couple different versions of that taillight. I know a guy that has the chrome ones on his TCM xB and they don't look to bad.

IPCW makes a better light for the xb


check out www.ipcw.com and find a dealer they are pricey but not a lot of people are running them

I looked at the ipcw lights when i got mine, but did not want to spend twice as much for just one set that i would have spent on the sonars.

The chrome ebay tails look good on white or silver xBs, the black ones look better on the darker colors.

Those IPCWs look okay, but I think I'd want more coverage for the brake light LEDs. Am I correct to assume that the LEDs in the center are turn signal only?

Btw did the front on the forum just change?

yes you are correct but they are super bright at night on a dark road before i hit the breaks i light up signs far back and when i hit the breaks light them up even farther.

Wow, thanks for the pictures. It's quite a unique look. How much would a set of these run from a dealer? Just approximate price. Thanks.

Appreciate it, CHPRBOX8. I'll have to add these to the top of my wishlist, in that case.

I'm digging the Bermudas for my BOP right now, especially Red/Amber set in the top-right corner.
