Ok Im at a cross road and dont know what to do. I like the looks of both.

Should I paint the tail lights black or leave them white.

Mine came white from the factory but it was an option to get them painted black.

So which do yall think is better looking. :help:

Here they are in white, this is a pic of my actual car.

Here they are in black, this is a pic of a 77 T/A that is colored just like mine except with black tail lights.

thats tough, but the white looks kinda nice (so long as u paint the car a nice white). have u ever seen the Lexus white with metal flake, nice color.

the white looks more classy.
the black looks more "badass".
both look good, so i say it's up to you good sir.

I like the white better. All TA's were given the black tail lights mid year in 78. Before that, they were all body colored. I'd leave em white since yours had it from the factory.

Good points about the white.

I guess I could buy an extra set of tail lights frames and paint one set white and one black and swap them out when I want to change it up :lol:

Why not paint your snowflakes white? I've seen a white 79 that had white snowflakes and it looked bad ass. I think that and the white tail lights would look great.
