I don't know what look to go for and I'm wandering what looks good. I have an orange 94 s10 so I'm not sure. You can check out my pics if it helps you at all.

Does that tint spray have a clear in it or what? I don't know where I should buy it from either. The chrome euros that cost about 140 don't look that bad at all especially on my ride because they are not the cheap looking bright chrome, there more greyed so it doesn't stand out to much

You are not going to find to many people on this forum that will support euro taillights. My opinion is that if the truck is not black just leave them stock or these.

If you get any kind of aftermarket tails make sure they are smoked....search altezza on ebay, i think its altezza they make some nice stock ones. if you do spray tint do "night shades" the spray is nice cuz you can adjust the tint on your own. mine are hella dark barely can see them in the day I am mostly a night driver based on my schedule but be careful tinted tails are illegal...same with the ebay smoked ones.

Re: What kind of Taillights for my dime? Anyone?!

well...i use to be the only one around TN with my taillights but not anymore so you know that you cant be original forever. but all depends on how much of a "dime" ur talk'n bout and what kind of look ur go'n for; street, original, offroad..etc. Mine cost bout $250. but you can probably get them for cheaper now cause i got mine as soon as they came out on market. but if u wanna check out my taillights, go to "New Members" and look for me. my thread on there has the pics of my truck. Good Luck!!

Re: What kind of Taillights for my dime? Anyone?!

if ur truck is solid orange with no black leave them red, if u have solid orange that black is gonna stick out bad, u might go with the red/clear LED alteeza's at the most, other than that leave leave the stockers. i wish they would make those red/clear LED's for the Blazer's.

dude get some cheap clears or even stock ones. then get a candy of the same color you have and spray as many coats as it takes to look like it matches, but you can still see light through. that way they are still there, but blend in good.


and how do you like that 18" Btl? that thing has to pound

Tinted tails are pretty much illegal everywhere.

There's a thread at the top of the Paint/Body forum with links to all the states laws.

Re: What kind of Taillights for my dime? Anyone?!

dont paint them cause tinting your tails is illegal.. I recomend to get a overlay from lamin-x.. so if you do get pulled over and you can talk the cop out of a ticket you can pull off the tint on the spot

here is there link http://lamin-x.com/ I have used this stuff and its great!!
