Or the Depo blacklines. Either way, they're still blackline tail lights which run from ~$200-$300 used and ~$275-$350 new depending on who made them.

I have never seen those before. BTW, I love how nice and wide those rear tires are.

Don't bother with those POS ebay lights.

I have a set of DEPO blacklines that I'm willing to part with for cheap. PM me in you're interested, you are local too so i can help you install if ou need to
