Hey. I'm new to the forum and new to NBs in general.

I'm hoping you guys can suggest some cool looking taillights for my new addition

Thanks!

What year is your NB? It will make a difference.

The only good looking aftermarket ones have been long since discontinued.

Keep your stock ones on.

This is unfortunately so true.
My wife replaced the tails on her 2001 almost 10 years ago. They are now worn, have leaks, and green mold growing inside one of them. Finding anything similar is hard, and disappointing because we like the looks of the ones on there now. Happy hunting. Try Carid.com though... they might have something there you like. I think we'll have to settle for something on there eventually this year.

I like these:
eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

They come directly from Germany and they have them in Red, Black and Chrome. I like the Red ones.

I uploaded the tail lights from streetbeatcustoms.com I ordered last month. Finally installed them last night. Not exactly what we were looking for but I think they look alright.
