Default Aftermarket Tail Lights?

Hey guys, wanted to see if anyone has any recommendations for any aftermarket tail lights. If you have any, post pics, i'd like to see them and get some ideas.

17+ has different oem tail lights.

the little red reflector pieces by the diffuser can be changed out with after market red led reflectors.

Agree. No need to rice it out. Leave it stock they look great as is.

Not trying to rice it out, just trying to give it that custom look. To each their own.

nobody who rices out their car thinks they're trying to rice it out.

any a/m tail lights you buy are going to be made of cheap plastics, fit poorly, and likely have poor design/performance. keep it stock =) you already have the upgrade--all for free!

Quote of the year!!!!!


And yes i agree, aftermarket lights are usually no where near OEM quality. Aftermarket taillights usually leak and the red fades due to UV. Maybe some reputable company like Tom's will make one in the future but usually the early aftermarket taillights are cheaply made in Taiwan. I personally wouldn't replace OEM unless it's better quality.

This is the only aftermarket taillight modification I can think of. I think they don't rice out the car but give it a little more refinement.

I put red vinyl over the amber rear turn signals, and smoke on the reflectors (both from a seller on eBay). I like how it cleaned up the look a little.
