i would save the money and buy a decent camera if i were you. plus those ebay lights are crap.









and anyone that refers to their Z as being a "zebra" has bigger problems that worrying about which lights to get for their car.

Well IMO anything would look better then the current setup. agree w/above setup get some 06+ tails you can always get a set of used ones. OEM will always fit better then other lights.

that might have been true 60 years ago. but the current phonetic alphabet lists Z as being Zulu, not Zebra.

of course, this is the only phonetic alphabet that i know.

Please save for the '06 tails or check the marketplace. You have a "Zebra, ftl" not a "Hotel Charlie"*

I'm guessing that the OP is talking about the phonetic alphabet that you used when learning to read, not the NATO phonetic alphabet. Could be wrong though.

if you buy tail lights, do yourself a favor and stake out the classifieds and get yourself a good deal on oem led tails. i got mine for $280.00 shipped.
