What is everyone's opinion on which taillights look better? I have never seen either in person so don't really have knowledge to make a decision.
Thanks in advance

I think they both look good but I prefer all blacked out on the Black Marauders and S-55 on the other colors:beer:

I am going to slightly tint my tails and reverse lights with the paint stuff.... forgot... might be this S55 stuff being spoken in this thread.

I've seen a combination of both, which looks sharp in my opinion!

I'm not a fan of the "s55".. remind me of 90s pickups and suv's that would sport those plastic covers on their tail lamps. Just my opinion tho.

Tinted looks meaner.

I agree. Tinted on the Black, s-55 on the colors.

tinted, I agree on the S55s looking like auto parts store add on pickup truck tail light covers

S-55 as long as you take care of the backups too.

Pick up a dual pig tail set from e-bay or from the dealer. 2 additional bulbs for each side in the lower empty area will do.

I've received a lot of compliments on the Marauder's tinted tail lamps.

I like both treatments but have to agree with the tinted on black. Maybe I will try and do both treatments and see how that turns out.

I tinted my tailights a few months ago and it has completely changed the look of the car, made it far more intimidating, but I have been wondering for a while were can I get those covers for the backup or reverse lights?

I don't recall what I paid, I think it was 20 bucks for both sets. I soldered them in ('cause wire clips are for Loosers).

what's the process on blacking out the taillights guys? are we spraying tinted clear coat like an automotive finish or are you guys buying these taillights already done? good pics EMBASSY, I want to do that same look on my 04 silver birch.

Jon's Tinted Tails tinted a set of P71 (Police Interceptor) tail lamps for me.

Why not both ?

Just tint the indents less than the rest.

I did the S55 on my black, but if I had it to do over again I would tint them. It adds a sweet look to the car.

What do the tinted lights look like with the lights on in the daylight and the dark? I'd hate to get clocked in the rear because some moron couldn't see my lights. :mad2::censor::shake:
