if you like them get them, it's all personal preference.

I like them, but I like blackouts over the stock lights better.

imho

Euros look like crap on a Camaro period. They are all terribly styled and don't do ANYTHING for the car. Before you all label me as a euro hater, I have TYC chrome Euros on my Sonoma and the look nice on it. For Camaros I like export taillights best(just finally got a set and put them on my car). Stockers that are tinted are nice too(NOT blackouts..they look cheap and cheesy). I tinted a spare set of stockers and they looked good. I'd keep the factory lights over those euros. Muscle cars should NOT have these style taillights.

Well, in the US we refer to them as Euros or Altezzas(generic name given to any lights like this even though they may not be made by Altezza).

Those tinted ones are a bit lighter than mine are. I pulled mine and put my exports on before I ever got pictures of them on the car.

To get exports, you have to purchase them from someone that has brought them here from overseas, or you have to purchase directly from overseas.

As for the original taillights, they're not bad. It all truely depends on the application of the lights. If you slap them on an otherwise stock looking Camaro, it's going to look out of place. Those taillights on a black Camaro with an aftermarket spoiler (read: not a stock one, IE SS or RS) it won't look as out of place as before. I tried with TYC carbon fiber euros about two years ago. Believe it or not, I still have them. Key difference, though, is I tinted mine with VHT like you said, 1sicv6. IMO, having tinted aftermarket taillights you get the best of both worlds. You get something different at night and when you have your foot on the break, but when it's not lit up, it looks great because it's just smoked.

Here's what mine looks like with the lights not lit...


Here's what it looks like during the day (Yes I know a bulb was out in the 3rd brake light, I was taking these because someone requested pics, literally got up and took the pics after reading the PM )


And full blown at night:


I've also seen a few cases where people take aftermarket taillights like the original ones you posted, and then they took the lense off and painted the inside of the taillights body color and left the lense off. It actually looked pretty good in pictures, but I never saw it in person so I can't tell how good it looks close up. For $80, though, that's not a bad price at all. Either they've REALLY come down in price, or I'm just thinking of other ones, I thought they were somewhere in the 150 range.

Did you actually READ any of the above posts? 3 of us just recently(within the last week) got them off e-bay from different sellers. Check e-bay and the for sale section here...they pop up from time to time.
