Default Aftermarket, Fleabay Tails?

Originally wanted Anzo Gen 1 tails to match my Anzo Switchbacks, but the design was a turn off. Something about the Gen 2's didn't feel right. I ordered but cancelled and am now stuck.

I have a couple of different options, listed below;

Tron Style;

https://www.ebay.com/itm/TRON-STYLE-...FahNf1&vxp=mtr

Different, and I like the UBar design. But the individual LEDs of the outline was one of my major turn offs from the Anzo Gen 1s.

Anzo Replica (?);

https://www.ebay.com/itm/2015-2016-2...RaCIlw&vxp=mtr

Similar to the Anzo Gen 2s, with a little more aggressive of a housing but not as severe as the Gen 1s. Price isn't to bad, and the outline is a solid, not individual.

Split Bar

https://www.ebay.com/itm/LED-Bar-201...laAoLk&vxp=mtr

Interesting and different design. There was a thread on these but it's since died, and I don't really want to try and revive it.

Spyder

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Spyder-Auto...BaJ0MR&vxp=mtr

Final option. Haven't heard many good things about Spyder and their headlights were not as attractive as the Anzo's.

I know Raxiom makes tails, but I'm not really into spending $650.00 on tails when my headlights and LED bulbs were $500 w/ shipping and tax.

Thoughts?

Thanks for looking.

$11 , some polishing compound and done. Rustoleum lens tint. Why buy cheap Chinese junk that will have LED's burn out and look wonky in a few months?

Those are all hideous IMO. These are the new "altezza" taillight craze of the late 90's and early 2000's.

Summers22, did you use the peel-able stuff or the permanent. I bought two cans of the peel-able lens tint and tested it out on an old tail light I had laying around. It doesn't seem to do much of anything. I put three coats on it and it doesn't look any darker than stock... LOL

Says he used rustoleum lense tint. That is not plastidip. Thats a regular tint in a spray can. I used it once for tinting marker lights.

Rustoleum sells both a peel-able lens tint and a permanent lens tint. It has nothing to do with plastidip.

Yes, I used Rustoleum lens tint. its permanent. I wet sanded and buffed it out. May hit it with some Spraymax 2K clear.
