I say Leds, Stock lenses are between 70 and 130 dollars each on ebay you should be able to get a set of leds for about 200 bucks.

I voted for the LEDs. I tried to reseal my stock lights but they still fogged up. I even drilled 3 small vent holes in the bottom of each - which helped more than the reseal - but on days with heavy rain they still fogged up in the upper corners. I finally got fed up with it and recently purchased a set of LEDs. Lou is right in the ball park on the price. I paid $209 + shipping ($233) for the IPCW LEDT-344CS LEDs. If you're not having a problem with yours fogging up (and want to save some coin) then you may want to try to epoxy the studs back on as The_Maniac suggested.

Since you've already blacked out the grille, wheels, etc the black tail lights would probably look pretty good. The IPCW have 2 different styles of LEDs to choose from - the LEDT-348CB or the LEDT-344CB - depending on your lighting preference. On the LEDT-348CB the inner circle and outer ring both illuminate for all functions (running/brake/turn). On the LEDT-344CB the outer ring is running/brake and the inner circle is turn. I'd email the seller prior to purchase and ask which one they are selling. That way you get the ones you want.

Well, I'm pretty much the only to say it, but I don't like the LED tailights. I'm even less of a fan of those led strips for the headlights. Just a personal preference...

I didnt know they had 2 different types of the leds...Good information..thanks.

I go back and forth Junior...I like the both sets and i really like the stock ones but then again the black leds would look nice since i am blacking out the car and soon i am getting the black head lights as well, but the red does give it a little more color...ahhhh to much pressure lol

I like the stock tails - like them more than the 6th gen ones.
