Default Tail lights rice or nice?

Just looking things over, rice or nice for these lights? Maybe I'll buy them and use nightshade on them instead of my originals.

When you start to change things like wings, lights, etc. you are entering the gay world of rice.

Stick with the factory lights........they look better anyway!

Oh hey, I've got a set of GTS brand tail light covers that I am not using anymore because with the black tail panel on my car it is just too much black lol. They are clip on and they stay on good, if you want them I would do $25. Used but they are perfect.

be careful with those on the back. I know you have to have the reflectors working 100% for the car to be street legal. WSP pulled me over one night when I was coming back from a show and forgot to take my smoked covers off the tail lights. He was cool and just had me pull them off rather than give me a ticket and attitude. But just something to think about if you are planning on doing that to your d/d.
