Question taillight covers

Where is the best place to get the taillight blackouts? Also what is the difference between slotted and regular. I want just the jet black solid ones. Please help.

The regular ones are referred to as Blackouts and the slotted ones are usually called TailBlazers. I believe some states say that full blackouts are illegal and if someone rear ends you, you MAY run into some legality issues... The slotted ones are legal as far as I know because they show parts of the taillights.

As for the best place to buy em, whew its been a while since I have looked into those so I dont know. Someone else will post on that tho Im sure

Be aware that the heat from brake light bulbs kept in by the covers can melt the factory lenses. I tossed mine after that happened to several members on the board.

That's one of the reasons I went with tailblazers, plus they look more aggressive. For a sleeker look though, go with the solid blackouts.
