I must be the ONLY person on this forum who dosn't feel that the 97+ tail lights look so much better than the old style lights. i mean, the subtle difference dosen't even seem worth it to me.



none the less, congrats on your new lights bro. enjoy them. cause sometimes its the little things that make us happy.

FYI, the 97+ tails should light all the way across the top
it seems in your first couple pics it is just the middle that is lit
anywho, conrgrats on stepping up your pimp game...

thanks a lot boys, as far as the small differences go, the way i look at it is this: there are THOUSANDS of 1993 SC's out there that all look the same. however, today i left that group with the subtle and extremely tasteful mod. to me, it makes all the difference. so yes they make me very happy.

and also with the first few pics, the reason it looks that way is just the reflectors in there with the flash of my camera. the running lights weren't on at the time. but yeah i do need to replace the bulb in the passenger side as they are dimming out a bit.

then come the resistors to try to get rid of hyperflash, and when i fix my tach needle i'll remove the bulb out light.

nope there's only two bulbs on top unlike the 95 style which has 3, and clearly both are lit. Just the right side is a little dimmer than the left, which might have something to do with the corner lights being wired up?
