Default What Tail lights are good.

I am new to this forum and I LOVE It!!!, You all are very knowlegible and have helped me with my new 2000 coupe, I just bought it a week ago and I have already installed a B&M shifter and did the ANTI-Venom Mod (Thanks to this Forum) and have installed HID's and installed my stereo system.

My question is I am looking for LED lights for the tail lights and was wondering who has what and what do they like. I want to install LED bulbs that are really bright. I know i need the LED flasher harness if I just do the bulbs. Any advise thanks for your input.

Default What tail lights

IMHO....Halo's are the way to go. Had the Depo Led's but am changing over to the Halo's. See here for some pics and testamonials.....

Halos are the way to go, the question is do you want red ones or blacked out ones

Default try euro red and ambers....

I stayed away from the LED's. They're too mod for the period of the vehicle. However, I did add euro red and amber's. They are an acquired taste and not for all but I think they add that little uniqueness most of us seek without going to modern.

I recommend the "RadioFlyer" modded Halos. There is a group buy on them right now. $289 for the lights, $60 for the mod, or you can do it yourself.

I should have mine on Thur. Will have them on as soon as I get them. I went with the "RadioFlyer Halo mod. Look great and really improves the look of the rear (which is all most will see anyway )

They look bad a$$,but from pictures they probably don't have the full effect as in person.


Lighting will be our next mod,just haven't decided what to get first.
