Congtats Rich.

The very first thing I did after I got my used-X was to replace All the exterior lights: headlights, taillights and even the indicators on the side (like this).

The head and tail lights are probably one of the very first thing that attract a people focus on (just like when you look at people's faces!). And the the aging plastic on the original lights does show up by becoming yellowish / greyish. These new taillights match your headlights, and they do spark up the X again.

Strongly recommend the side indicators to complete the look

Ricey? The new Audis, Porsche, Mercs have all gone LEDs.... so may be Ricey is the new life again

congrats rich! and it looks like essam is following with the LED tailights. Like you rich, i haven't really considered this mod i like the stock tailights.

so this mod is really worth it?? i'll wait for you and essam to post some pics so i can get an idea on a titanium X .. then i'll go from there.

for now i'm saving up for my exhaust tip mod

very nice rich, i dont think they look ricey at all.
On the other hand my aftermarket non-led tails looked horribly ricey. I ended up getting them tinted to downplay them a bit.
but anyways, the x looks sharp!
