Ok, last post about Tail Lights... I promise.
Ok, this is it, I swear. First question: Are Jaguar and APC S-types the same? Here are links:
APC's
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1838718190
Jaguar's
http://209.87.151.155/detail.asp?PRO...495-ALT-G2-RED
2nd question:
Would S-Types look better than these Red/Clears on my car? (Click the ebay link for pics of my car... someday I will take my own)
http://numbskull.bootlab.net/RedClears.jpg
The Red/Clears are only $45.
So I have to choose between S-Types, Red/Clears, or Stock with amber removed. This would be so much easier if I could see what each one looks like on my car

Don't buy APC products, they're freaking horrible. Seriously. Poor fit and very shoddy quality...one of my buddies got condensation in both his APC taillights 2 days after he installed them, brand new.
) I hope those will be okay. So far 2 votes for S-types over the red/clears or amber reflector removal...

Personally I'd go with either the S-Types or the stock with amber removed...the red/clears don't look good IMO. I think stock with amber removed would look slightly better but S-Types are more unique. On some cars I find them to look kind of droopy. I don't know, do whatever you want, you shouldn't say "well 3 more people likes such and such so im gonna do that", that's just plain stupid. Do whatever you think looks best. If you're worried about what others think then don't mod at all because someone some where is gonna think somethin you do is gonna look like crap.

Well I'm not basing my decision on how many people prefer one set over the other, i just like to get a general opinion from people, and find out the good/bad about each. Then I take all the information I have gathered and combine that with my own preferences, then I make a decision.

autodynamics are prolly the same exact thing, and you can prolly go to autozone for those taillights, i saw them there once. Autodynamic doesnt make them themselves they prolly order them from apc, so i bet its all the same.
On a side note, does anyone else have SAE/DOT approved clear front bumper lights. I dunno if its just me, but mine have that on the plastic in the front, just noticed it tonight since I'm doing a bumper/fog converison.

Stanley is what comes from the factory
And the onyl way to get good fit is to keep it stock. Just remove the amber piece and you are all set
