Default Need tail lights, ideas?

Hey guys, recently I ordered these tail lights, problem is the company told me the manufacture no longer makes these



The company offered me a chrome or black version, and to me just wouldn't work right with what I want to do to the car. I plan on having chrome headlights and wheels, so black wouldn't work, and chrome tail lights just aren't for me.

I was wondering if anyone can share their setup's or any other alternatives for some cool tail lights? My car is a Navy Metallic Blue color.

Those do look good. Always hated the stock 98-02 tail lights, should've kept the same design. But I think I will go with OEM tails. Wish I could've gotten those other ones though, I'm a LED ***** .

I will admit the majority of them look absolutely ricer/horrible. These were the only ones I thought looked decent/neat considering they are all red. The black version of these tail lights weren't to bad. Just happened to not suite my cars style. I wouldn't buy anything appearance wise from ebay anyway, even if they have stockers.

I took a look at the all red stocker idea. Very good looking tail lights. Might not have much choice but togo with that route. I just wish there were more options. I want my car to look different from the ones around here, not stock. But either way, might not have a choice.

Could always buy ebay ones (if you found a pair you like) and just nightshade them.
