74789, APC or TYC taillights?....
Posted by reeveso, Jul-09-04 04:24 AM
i was looking at NOPI...deciding which tailights to get, and the APC taillights are 130 bucks, and the TYC are 180...does the 50 bucks make a difference in these taillights or should i go for the cheaper ones?...anybody have either of these that has good/bad reports about em?

Really I dont know why people think Altezzas and APC Lights look good on Eclipses, They dont. I really really dont like them IMO. It mays are cars look really cheap and like space craft. Stick with stock ones.

TYC is way better than APC. I'd recommend sticking with your stockers, but if you absolutley have to have them I have a black pair sitting in my garage that I can sell to your for very cheap.

IMO alteeza's became super uber pimp when 55 year old redneck's put them on F350, then turn around and tell you your wasting time with a 4 banger and you need a 69 camaro like everyone else.

There also cool on minivan's.

Euro (german) stockers with paint matched center piece>all. Too bad they are like $500 on www.machv.com but up here in New England, next to NO ONE has them.!!

Keep the OEM lights. Don't make your car look ghey with altezza's.

either way you go they leak FYI

what u do is get some clear epoxy

and fill in the plastic clip area

that should help minimize leaks
