I like the idea of rear LED brake lights.
I'm at work now but at the home pc I have a link to a vendor who has a few options, I believe the ones I saw that I liked had black interiors and clear LED areas, which looked good in the picture (I will try to edit later and post here). The smoked version of these ricers are definitely better though IMO.

Yeah, like I said, they're cool in red. All the others look like crap though.

if they are red instead of clear they really don't look bad.

I'm sorry, but those lights make the rear end look modern, not rice. Also, it would be nice to see someone with the Smoked LEDs, I think it would look just as nice as the red one.

There is a lot of old dirt here(50 1/2 here) but I do like the red lenses that 555 has installed...the car looks great also

But the clear lenses still look like a Nissan add on.

Rice is a term used to describe the appearance of your typical "Fast and Furious" style modded car.
Since they're normally Honda's, Mitsubishi's, Toyota's, etc... (Asian cars) they get called ricers. (ie - Riceburner describes a Honda motorcycle).

I think the term got started with our grandfathers who rode Harleys and Indian's, etc after the war and were talking about the import motorcycles.

I got my driving license in 1970. I just was nuts over the mustangs back than but obviously couldn't afford one. Finally got my 70 Mach 1 5 yrs ago when I was 48. Wouldn't trade it for the world.

Based on your Sig, it looks like they do work with Sequential taillights. Correct?

The outer tails do but the light internals don't allow all 3 lights to sequential
