nice tails toxic...i cringed when you said CF taillights but im surprised @ how nice they look...perfect with ur black tib..props to your boy for hookin them up w/ one hand...i needed three when i put mine in, but it was dark...hehe, btw your profile says ur in NJ, no snow? im in upstate NY and were pretty covered
Thanks, Alex and Sparticus. ;D
And Alex, we get pretty much no snow where I live. I live in Toms River, which is right next to Seaside Heights, which is on the Atlantic Ocean. The ocean water is so warm that all we get is rain. We got snow ONCE so far this winter, and it melted by the time the sun came out the next morning. The only reason we got snow was because some storm from the midwest went out into the ocean, but came back onto the edge of NJ. 5 miles west of my town and there was no snow. :
Oh, and the only problem with my tails are that the passenger side brake light keeps going out. Well, the light itself. When I put my foot on the brake, it lights up. When I have my lights on and I don't have my foot on the brake, it doesn't light up. I smack the tail light though before driving off and it goes on. My boyfriend said something about the bulb being loose. Dumbass me, I ain't touching it, lol.

actually i had a similar problem when i put my lights on...
i was sure to be gentle when i put my bulbs in my euros and they worked fine when i tested them out...but then like 2 hours later i went to the mall and noticed that my right side brake light was out...i smacked it and it came on...i stopped at a gas station to get some drink and noticed that it was out again so i checked the bulb and it was blown...turns out it was on its last leg...(almost got pulled for a blown tail light while i was on the way to wally world to get a replacement bulb)...ne ways i thought it could be the same story with your bulb if its not the wiring...good luck
Ps ur lucky about the snow...we get sooo much...last year our small town got national coverage on the news for setting the record for snowfall with like 17 feet... the snowbanks were over our heads it was crazy

Now your back end looks just like mine. Very nice!
I don't see what's wrong with the CF taillights. I think they look fine on black cars, such as mine smile.gif And they look a whole lot better than the black chrome ones IMO. And for those who just like the stock ones, well whatever.

I'm tellin you man, you gotta see them from up close.
Remember the pics of those mirrors I put up? The CF looked STRETCHED and like crap?

Alex, I went out and bought all new bulbs before installing the new lights because I figured they were stock bulbs. Yeah, I was right. The yellow on the signal bulbs was flaking off! The regular bulbs in the reverse and brake lights were gray! Ugh..
Mrp, your car is hot. wink1.gif
