Default Lava and Red-Out Tails...

I have a Lava with TYC lights currently. I also have the stock lights. I just ordered the stuff to paint the stock lights. In your own opinion, should I put on the soon-to-be painted tail lights or keep the TYC lights. I think I am going to go with a red-white-red-white pattern instead of the usual red-white pattern.

thanx

In MY opinion, I would stick with the TYC lights, they really make the car. I have the TYC lights on my BSP xB. They look a hell of alot better than the stock lights. I personally hate the stock lights, but thats just me.

Any way you can paint the black part of the TYCs?

Default painting taillights

Just open them up and paint them. only problem is that the TYC's have a wide black border in them and that will still be visible unless you were to also paint the OUTSIDE edges of the lenses as well as the inside housing area.

uh well... that is kinda where they got the design from... but on the other hand - wouldn't a TOYOTA be the appropriate place to use an TOYOTA MOTOR COMPANY Altezza-style light????

It's not exactly like you placed a "V-tec" badge on the tailgate.
