Im after getting some after market tail lights for my magna. The left one is cracked and i want it neat looking so i figured I'd get some fancy ones. If anyone knows where to get some at a decent price please let me know.
Cheers

You've got a TH so I think the only after market ones you can get that fit are the frosted ones - and don't get them, specially on a black car!
Get a replacement standard one and leave them at that - or just tint them a few shades, that will look the best.
Otherwise, get yourself a TJ bootlid and there will be many more to choose from - clear (but don't!), carbon fibre (mite look ok) or KJ Verada tail lights (for ultimate sexyness :cool: )

yep only aftermarket ones available are the frosted ones which look very very meh. +1 to light tinting though on the standard ones

you can pick up a pair of frosted ones for $100. simple 3 bolt job. as for how they look, it's up to personal style. ive seen them on a gunmetal grey magna and they looked hot as.

heeeeeeeeeey i cant help that their eyes light up when they see it lol. defect central...hahaah getting engineering hopefully within the next few weeks so hopefully they wont bother me as much lol. and $100!!!! woah lol i picked mine up on ebay for $36.50 :P however, i do carry around my ex tail lights(tinted ones) just in case po po sees me and does not like. imo, on a lighter colour car they look a treat as they blend in, however darker colours im a bit skeptical. if u tint them just make sure u dont tint the reflector

brush on bulb dye works a treat, looks good as new, at least one of them does. takes a bit of practice but you get alot in 1 bottle. $12 well spent and i shouldnt have to worry about being defected. sure it doesnt look 'as' good, but it is worth it in the end.

I know a few members here who have these and got defected. Is not worth the trouble IMO.
The original TH would be my choice if not mod your bootlid to fit TJ/TL lights etc.

As a TE/F/H driver we are unfortunately limited to the pez frosty lights, especially nasty on a dark colour as many have said.
I am another member who has been defected with these lights, the problem is once the police pick this up and send you to the pits then they pick up everything else that may be illegal with your car; massive headache.
Currently about to try a TL rear conversion with tinted KJ lights. Kinda an even bigger headache, just hoping everything lines up ok. Not really financially viable if you are after a quick fix either.
+1 for tinting standards.
