someone needs to make smooth stock style tails instead of the stock diamond cut plastic.

I've got them and love them. Best looking lights IMO.

i think those lights look as close as stock as possible..i like them alot..so much better than those ugly chrome ones..Im wondering though, how good is the quality of them? how long before water begins to seep in?

 

[Sprockett]

APC quality is terrible.

This is the second set of APC taillights I have owned and I have never had a problem with them. I also had their clear corners which were perfect.

although he did say "all red", which is different than the pics we've posted here - there's a version which has red tint over the reverse and turn signal areas, but also adds fine horizontal etchings that look a little strange

thanks guys these are the pics i needed, they look great.

that's the reflective surface and is a safety feature (if you're talking about the grooved part inside)

a lack of those would make cars LESS safe and actually nearly all aftermarket lights are illegal except for TYC which follows guidelines.

 

[nate0123]

Mine have rear- and side-facing reflectors. What are you talking about?

 

[MarkSpark]

I think he means smooth in the sense that they're flush with the car. Stock tails currently stick out off the car.

 

[nate0123]

"smooth", "not diamond cut plastic" - referring to the diffusing texture of the lenses

Hyundai Sonata looking IMHO

with your eyes partially closed
