What's the difference?

What's the difference between this and this besides $77? Anything significant?

Fixed the links. Totally different style. Plus you've got 4 bulbs in one vs. 3 bulbs in the other.

Oh. I was basically just wanting black housing to go with the nighthawk black theme. I wonder if one "works better" than the other.

Thanks for fixing the link Grey, I copy and pasted correctly, just didn't pay attention to what the whole thing was...

I've perconally seen the TYC's (4-bulb ones) on an NBP coupe and they look the best! The other ones are older and look kinda gross IMO. Get the TYC's!

TYC's it is! Now I need matching Taillights. I'm thinking the jaguar taillights for the 7th gen on tornactive.com's site. Speaking of which, are those rota rims on there, is that price per rim? Otherwise, dayum!

Wait, do you have a coupe or a sedan? Either way the Jaguar style taillights are a good choice.
Which Rota's are you talking about?

i think they both have 4 lights.. its just the LP-HC01BC-KS* Version, the black comes all the way up to the glass... where as the other brand does not
on the LP-HC01BC-KS* you can do the D-i-y for clearing the headlights to open it up.. and get that black painted the same color as your car. i think that would match your car better..i seen some like that.. my friend has something like that.. but it dones not have glass over the whole thing.. only in the holes is ther glass.. and he is going paint his the same color as the car..

I have a coupe.

Angeleyes? Heh, uh...no. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG] As far as DIY clearing and painting, again, I don't think so. I suck at DIYs. I did a good job painting my trim peices silver (I have black car..) but I have some minor cuts on a piece or 2 during that operation. Same goes for the operation I did to get the console off to install my Revo and bushings. No worries, I'll probably get the 2k2 console down the road. (I have 2k1) Maybe even some mechanical skills to go with it.

Once you eliminate Altezzas, you narrow down your choices for taillights dramatically. Thus, jaguar lights is the choice for me. Trying to careful to keep my car rice-free and somewhat unique.
