Default taillights? TYC or LED

anyone got a gripe between these? i want to black them out.

hey thanks man. Yeah thats the stock applique. got that specifically for my wife when she unloads stuff off of it. lol. as for tinting it. There really isnt any reason to i think. but see if anyone else has done it. if not pick up a pair of batmobile overlays. if its no bueno, just peel it off.

+1 for the leds...

the tyc have a predominantly circular patterns which look strange, imo, on a box.

+1 for the batmobile overlays...

eE, where did you get the Garsons? Seen those on Yahoo Japan but never knew how to get em over here...
BTW, I think the gold looks good on TCM, cool retro vibe to it.

I bought the LED ones off eBay and have had no issues with fogging. I also installed some LED turn and reverse bulbs with 6ohm resistors. I wonder though what the difference is between Anzo and Garson.
