Default Euro or LED Tailights?

I have a set of almost brand new set of Euro tail lights (red and clear) and am debating using these or the modified Halo LEDs. I have a Spiral Gray Vert, what would you do?

Anyone have any pics?

Tough decision either ones would look good on spiral grey. My vote is for the euros.

Love my Euro's...also, piece of advice...don't use the stock yellow turn bulb for the turn signal. Run up to Pep Boys and get the Sylvania bulb. It is blue but burns a true orange. The stock looks like an egg yolk and doesn't look as good.

Having run both types of taillights on my '00, no doubt I would go with the LED halos.

Great!

And it is so easy to put them in...you might put two Euro's on one side and 2 halos (if you or a friend has them) on the other...obviously you won't have the hooked up but at least you can decide which "look" you prefer...

I have been running a set of Euro Red/Clear lights on my Spiral Grey Verte for 3 years. They look great and I get a lot of compliments.

However, I am also considering a swap to LEDs as I like how bright they are compared to stock lenses. Plus, I plan to upgrade the rear side markers, plate/back up lights, front corners and headlights to either HID or LED so I want to complete the look.

Hold on! Back the truck up. When would these euro led tails be available? I'm positive they would be an extremely popular option to stock tails.
