You didn't really need new ones to get them refinished, you should know this more than anyone else. You just turned a $100 expense into a $300 expense. For that you get a big

Yeah I don't remember anything wrong with your tail lights...?

dmhenderson · 02-01-2013, 06:26 PM

Hey speaking of lights, I'm apparently retarded so I'm swapping out my current halos with brighter ones (where you can't see the segments between lcd panels) and adding a 2nd ring set on my blinkers.

If anyone is interested in my barely used current halos, I'd rather drop them off than ship them.

If you take your tail lights out and give them to a body shop, I think most places charge like $100 to paint them.

I'd say you have 3 possible options:
1) Keep the OEM lights in case you decide to go back to the OEM look and get the old ones repainted.
2) Sell the ones you just bought and get the old ones repainted.
3) Paint the new ones and sell the old ones.

Personally I'd go with option 2 because that could get you like 3 more tank fulls of gas in the Z

But the end product will look exactly like Berts.

b1adesofcha0s · 02-01-2013, 06:56 PM
