Default which tail lights?

i m torn... the tyc are bad ___ and my first choice but the black pieces on the border of the assembly probably wont look that good on a thundercloud, too much clash... so my other option are the altezzas that would definately match better but are they ghetto? does anyone know of any other options besides paint or vinyl?

I like the TYC lights.. but I don't like the dark housing... I would so get them if they were chrome looking (to better match my Lava) because I think the black looks like garbage against the orange....

So yeah..

yeah i feel the same way... i dont think the tyc match all that well with the thundercloud. thats the only reason why im considering the altezza... as far as the overlays go... i like them but i dont want to dim out my reverse lights

TYC lights are awesome..not to mention it's the only one with DOT approved aftermarket tail light for the xB. The stock ones look abit too frosty for my taste...but Gary can paint them and that makes everything look better.

here's mine with TYC

I vote for Blue Bat overlays too. It was the first thing I did. They were real easy, and way cheaper. But I have a Black XB sooo.

Would the overlays from www.BlueBatMobile.com fit on TYC tail lights?

Also, what color blinkers do the TYC's have? If yellow, is it easy to change the bulb to red?

Same questions go for the Altezza tail lights.

Thanks

Bob

dude, why would you spend so much on new tails and then cover them up with bat's overlays?!

doesn't seem like it makes sense!

That's what I was wondering... :?: :?: :?:

I like the TYC's but I have a Camo and I want the darker look. The stock lights are way to bright compared to all the other muted colors. Not bright light-wise, just light colored and everything else is dark...

I think your right about them not looking good on Thundercloud tho.

My bluebatmobile.com overlays are in the mail now... Hoping they show up tomorrow so I can put them on this weekend.

please dont do the overlay on the tyc

there are no yellow bulb

top red circle is your turn signal
the middle red is your parking and brake light
bottom is for the reverse

TYC's would be too Haloween-y IMO...
Bluebatmobile's stuff works and looks great...Martha would say: "It's a good thing."
Also, the TYC's look tailor made for the darker color rides and surprisingly awesome on Nilo's box!

I'd say go for blue batmobiles overlays, imo the altezzas are just wack and ugly, not to mention played out too.

Blue bat's overlays will make your tails alot nicer and a cheap mod to do without breaking your bank.

the overlays look cool but im not really into them because they make the reverse lights difficult to see when driving at nite... are the altezzas really that stupid... i just think theyll go better with my paint color
