Default LED Taillights, Need suggestions

Hey everyone, whats up? I just got hit by a truck the other day so I will be replacing my stock taillights. There was not a lot of damage so no biggy but I would like to upgrade the taillights with the insurance money. I just need suggestios weather I go with the Black LED set on my silver monte or the Platinum Smoke LED set? Let me know what you guys think?

I agree with the black looking really good...

but i am always tempted to see what those smoked ones look like on a white/silver car

SRBecker58 - sorry about the accident, and by asking I feel like the guy who comes in and rummages through your office right after you get fired, but I'm in need of a driver's side tail light. You would happen to have saved that one and want to sell it, would you?

Hey, thanks everyone for the suggestions. I am thinking about going with the black ones actually. Reason being, if the Platinum doesnt match the silve car just right, it will look stupid IMO. I cant really go wrong with the black ones because I have black accents all over the car (windows, mirrors, eventually rims, and the trunk is shaved, so it will look cleaner with the black). Ill get some pics on when I get them in

I sent you a PM with my number in it, Id be more than willing to sell the drivers side taillight. Just let me know what you want to do.

Yeah I liked them too but I kinda want to deviate from stock a little bit, plus the LEDs are a lot brighter. I dk. I just love having money to spend and hate making the decisions on what to spend it on lol
