Euro taillights or blacklines ?

zamboni · 05-24-2006, 01:23 AM

Which is better ?

Broken1 · 05-24-2006, 03:34 AM

I have a Euro-spec car - and I changed to blacklines.

They loook cool :-)
However, sometimes driving past a non-blacklined car - I think it looks cool too!

Pretender · 05-24-2006, 04:11 AM

blackline.

cntlaw · 05-24-2006, 04:12 AM

use both alternatively

Jibber · 05-24-2006, 04:53 AM

Euro taillights or blacklines? That's a good question. I can't decide either.

nyyankee · 05-24-2006, 06:26 AM

Buy the Black Lines and if you don't like them, swich the amber bulb for the blinker, into the origonal lights. Woulden't that make your tail lamps "euro taillamps"

No. The housing is also somewhat amber around the turn signal. This way, the bulb blinks the exact same color as your side markers and front turn signals.

mm tough 1..i like the clear lenses on the blackline..but its just like the chrome grill thing, if everyone changes to blacklines, then the euro tail lights are gona be the thing to have in a years time!?..im sticking to my euros!

Gitta · 05-24-2006, 09:15 AM

Personally I prefer in order:
1. blacklines
2. eurostyle (#1 for red tho)
3. us version

CnoteMD · 05-24-2006, 06:33 PM

I would choose the Euro lights (with the red area that blinks amber).

ALPINE6SPD · 05-24-2006, 11:33 PM

1/2 blackline and 1/2 euro. Mix it up

golfpro · 05-24-2006, 11:44 PM

go blacklnes, i dont see the big fuss about eurotails, so they blink amber just like the other lights, i think for US cars the red blinker and red brake light looks good together, u cant see the front and rear at the same time, but for the blacklines the white all on top looks hot and the amber turn signal that you cant tell is amber is even hotter

MMVI · 05-25-2006, 12:59 PM

Can someone post a picture of both choices...

e902cool · 05-25-2006, 01:54 PM

to me it blacklines look good only if you have the euro headlights (cleared) ...

HRC · 05-25-2006, 02:02 PM

As with most questions like this, whats better is what you like better. Do you like sugar in your coffee or not? I like the blackines, but this would be my second choice if Blacklines were not available. Danny

dejav0o · 05-25-2006, 03:28 PM

What are the euro tails? Are those the one that sorta looks like ours, but flashes amber instead of red?

Yup! Danny

Hunter399 · 05-25-2006, 05:18 PM

Blacklines by far, the Euros look hardley any different at all

M 3Rilla · 05-29-2006, 06:06 PM

What's that saying? "if you go black you wont go back" well my friend I went blackline and I must say they are smashing
