Stock or not?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

boataddict26 · 06-29-2003, 11:38 PM

I am having mixed emotions on weather to go with the euro taillights that they make for the older chevys or to go with the stock ones. The stock ones are about the same price. I think the euros will give a more customized look, but what do you guys think? I cant decide. Every time I go to ebay and are about to buy I go back out and look at the truck to try to vision what it will look like.
Thanks

Get some all clears or stock. Not that euro crap. No riceboy stuff please.

The all clears look pretty sweet on a white truck though with a nice tailgate band. They are almost impossible to get ahold of now though.

Stock!!!! I give the euro TL's another year, the fad will die out.

Remember the van craze, pro-street, sunroofs, side pipes, mud flaps, shag dash boards, etc...? Euros will be right there with them.

Of course, this is just my opinion and prediction.

Where do I find the all clears? Do you know any one that has them so I could see what they look like?

boataddict26 · 06-29-2003, 11:47 PM

You are probably right bigblock.

**swervin ervin** · 06-30-2003, 12:13 AM

I agree. I'm not a fan of Euro's on these trucks. Something about a older truck don't fit with the new style look of the things, to me anyways.

Of course, it is your truck. If you like the Euro's, get them. After all, you are the one driving it around.

boataddict26 · 06-30-2003, 09:13 AM

I know thats true, but I like them both!! Maybe I can switch weekly, euros one week and stock the next?!!

gldevall · 06-30-2003, 09:34 AM

I personally like the euro's.

PHOENIX · 06-30-2003, 10:33 AM

I also voted for the stocks.
When you have a new set of stock lights they light up real nice. They even make curve shaped reflections on the ground, looks cool.

Tom · 06-30-2003, 11:23 AM

They make the Euro's because all clears are illigeal in most states.

I vote for stock.

boataddict26 · 06-30-2003, 01:08 PM

I think I am going to get a set of euros, and a new pair of stock tail lights and after my truck is painted, I will put one on each side and see which one looks better on my truck. (MAYBE!!) I can always sell the ones I dont like.

apstguy · 07-01-2003, 03:45 PM

I have Euros on mine, but if I didn't have LED taillights, I wouldn't have gotten them. I really, really want the clear ones! Honestly! I have been looking for 2 years with no luck! I would be willing to pay $200 for them, but I can't find them! The effect of having Euros with LED lights is awesome, but not many people have or like LED taillights. All my exterior marker lamps are LEDs. If you don't get LEDS, stay stock!

boataddict26 · 07-01-2003, 08:56 PM

Are the LED's expensive? Where can I get them? Do you have a pic. of your euros?

apstguy · 07-04-2003, 04:54 AM

LEDs are $12-$20 for two bulbs. You can get them from any ricer place (big surprise). I got mine at a website that was really hard to use. I recommend using www.stylinconcepts.com get the Jam Stradt brand ones. I have a pic on my website. Just go to the angelfire site in my signature.
