The placement of the reflector on the tail lights really gets in the way of making a good looking set of round tail lights, due to the gap inbetween them.

I'll bet he did too rotofire, and they look ten times better than the last ones that went for 100 bucks.
The guy is obviously a genious.

I like the ones on ebay, and gregs'. I think both of them are better than the stock ones. If I had an fb instead of an sa, I'd consider those (or tint them like gregs).

How well do your brake lights shine through in the daytime Gregs? I think that the total black looks pretty good but I wouldn't want to have dim brake/running lights in the daytime as a result.

I think I may have a great idea for round tail lights, which would solve the reflector issue. Hm.

No offense taken, I was just goofing around.

What I do like about yours is they match the center panel really well, so it almost looks like one solid peice all the way across the back, Or at least the tail lights match the center panel. You know what I mean.
