I like the bottom ones the most. What are they? The carbon fiber ones look like **it. You forgot these: (the ones I have)

Thought I would chime in with mine

LOHRTBT · 09-24-2003, 09:54 AM

ICK ICK AND MORE ICK!!
The bottom ones and Tyler's are nice

TwinTurbo · 09-24-2003, 10:09 AM

why are those called euro lights? Those types of lights originally came on Lexys and other rasian stuff. I never really liked them, stock lights on a fleetside do it for me more than those things.

no offense to anyone who has any of those on their truck, but i think they are all ugly. stock lights look alot better IMO

gldevall · 09-24-2003, 12:13 PM

I'm getting tired of mine and I'm going to get a new set of stocks with the chrome trim.

PHOENIX · 09-24-2003, 02:56 PM

I also prefer stock. In my opinion the "euro" lights look cheap (not only for our trucks, but almost all of them). I see them all over and they draw too much attention to themselves and when you look at them they look cheap and do not match the vehicle.

The stock lights look nice and clean, plus they put a cool rainbow light affect on the ground at night when you apply the brake.

Easy guys! I like and have stock lenses. If I had to get some, I'd get the ones aspt has.

You know what they need to make, is some stock looking lenses but have them a clear red, like on newer cars. With a can of chrome paint for the reflective surface and new LCD bulbs, those would look cool.

i like the stock ones better,not to mention they are cheaper,i just got a set on ebay for 25 including the shipping.

Thanks. I like mine because of the LED bulbs - made my lights 300% brighter. Making the legal clear ones would be tough though. They have them for the 88-98 body style, but they still aren't legal for CA as it must have a red lens too. CA automotive laws suck!

Do you mean LED? (LED=light emitting diode) (LCD=liquid crystal display) LCDs are what flatpanels are made out of (Along with plasma and a billion different other technologies)

C&C Chevy · 09-25-2003, 08:57 PM

Yeah, LED!

I don't mean the clear ones that aren't available anymore. Look at a new car, like an Accord, they use a clear lense that is tinted red. You can easily see the bulb and the reflective surface inside. It just has a red tint to it.
