RadioFlyer's halo taillights with the halo and 'red lens euro signal' mods.

Side note - I went from 'stock' to the red / clear euros to this setup. I like this setup the best; brightest brake lights and unlike the 'proper' euro tail lights these are lit up all the way around.

I tinted my stock ones initially.



Liked the blackout look, but decided I didn't need any other excuse to get pulled over, so I went with the LEDs with halo.

I don't see how in the world that you guys with very dark tail lights don't worry about somebody rear ending you.

Don't get me wrong because they do look good, but I would be stressed with todays drivers texting and talking on cell phones.

LED Halos on mine - love them.



Here's a photo of the euro (red/clear) lights I had at one time on my '00:



I did end up taking the euro lights off and putting on LED halos on that car too.
