    Default TBL replacement

    Hey guys,

    I've got a BSP 08 Tc, I'm purchasing a a fully lit 3rd brake light from oznium.com. With the new OEM factory tail lights I need suggestions on which color insert to purchase??

    Also, if anybody has done this, how easy was ur install?
    Do you have any pics with the same color car?

    I appreciate it,

    James

    Bsp is black sand pearl, correct?

    I'd rock a black tinted tbl since it goes well with the black altezza style tails (even though I'm not a fan of the new gen tails)

    Or if you'd like a lil color go with the all red. The clear ones are so bland...

    I have an 06 tC with the fully lit TBL, its the tinted one, it looks sweet and wasn't hard to install at all, all you have to do is remove the plastic panel on the rear hatch, its just some screws and clips, the only pain the the ass part is putting it back together because its hard to see where the clips line up but other than that its east, hope this helped!

    appreciate the info...

    I went and installed the red TBL to my ride. I actually had already ordered it before I posted this thread. I just wanted to get an idea of what others thought. Now that it's installed, I realized I made the right choice... the red matches the 08 OEM tail lights really well...

    Install wasn't that hard either... I will post pics of my ride soon

    can't wait to see them! it'll help me decide which one to get.

    having an 06 flint mica with the mostly red tails, i can't decide between the smoke (which would really flow well with the dark paint and accessories) and all red (gives the trunk a nice break in color).

    You can use MS Paint to resize. Right click on the image file and choose edit. By default Windows chooses Paint. Now press CTRL+W and that will bring up the stretch/skew toolbox. Try 20% H/20% W on the stretch. Say the file then look at it thru Windows Explorer. Right click on the file and go to properties to see the file size. You can also just mouseover and it will pop-up the same info. Just as easy is to upload it again to see if it works.
