I have a set of retro apc tail lights on my 97" s10, i want something with a little more custom look to them sence as soon as i bought them about 6-7 other s10's in my town alone went out and bought the same thing. I know elegant makes a good set but i was looking for something different. Anyone know any good sets that aren't seen everywhere that are around a decient price any help would be appreciated.

If they are the same as mine. I painted them truck color, and I left the silver rings around the lights. Took around three hours to do. Primed twice, painted twice, cleared three coats. Not enough space for me to download, if you want to see them get me your email. :cool:

send me all some pics, my email is s10tuner86@netscape.net im really interested to see how you painted them. It's hard to be custom if everyone has the same thing.

i would put the stock ones back in if i could justify to myself that I wasted $200 on something i can't have cause people wanted to put the same thing on thier truck. I'm somewhat of a budget tuner, put on what i can afford when i can afford it type deal.

Ron, Those tailights would be sick if the black in the lens was painted to match The truck.

i don't know if this guy operates from some larger source and just uses ebay as an additional way of reaching customers or if he is soley an ebay store guy...but here is his main ebay store, a google search for option racing brings back not much...

Those are the first pair of eurolights that i would really consider putting on my truck. I wonder if its possible to paint the black part of the lens to match my truck (and im not talking abour smoking the whole lens). That would make the lights all that much better. Has any one done that before? is it hard.

i'm sure its possibly..you'd just have to do a little custom work i guess. reseal the lense so it doesn't whig out on you from moisture. i have black lenses now..but i really like the way clear lenses look on a black truck...i wonder if these are DOT legal...and they say BUY I TNOW for $44...thats a little low...wonder what kinda quality they are...

Glad to see everyone seems to like my link to those lenses :) I was just cruzin' around ebay one day when I came across those lenses. My truck is black, so they caught my attention right away. I'm not sure if I will get them, but I bet there aren't too many people out there with those lenses.

Waaaaaaaaaaaait a minute...... Those are the 3-D-styled ones, aren't they? Dammit. Maybe not quite right for me, but still tight. I'll have to do some thinking on those.
