Need low profile taillights and Savvy has no ETA in sight

[rasband]

I’m between Maxbilt and the Metalcloack aluminum housing but they are expensive.

Decisions decisions..

If it were me, I'd check in with Blaine about his taillight availability. They're the best ones out there right now.

Black Magic Brake taillights are very good.

I do like them but my trypophobia gets the best of me on the side marker lights what I like about MC is the single LED side marker light

I need tail lights asap looks like BMB is out of stock

BMB tail lights are priced perfectly .

One thing I like about the BMB tail lights is that the side markers fit nicely in the housing.

The metal version of the MC taillights are different than the plastic ones.

You are correct. The gaps are different on the metal housings.

 

[Wildman]

You are correct. The gaps are different.

Yes they are..

BMB lights are still nice. But it's also good to have options.

Yes. It is good to have shitty options.

 

[Wildman]

Yes. It is good to have shitty options.

Wouldn't expect anything less from you....

But OTHER than your dislike for MC please tell all of us what is shitty about them?

The fit and finish on these is enough for me. I will leave it to you to defend them.

Again nothing really said...

I don't need to defend them. They fit fine for me and are working as they are supposed to.

Metal housing

I always wanted round tail lights but a part of me feels it does look better with OEM style tail lights. Especially if there’s a raw aluminum option.

I thought the molded housing was plastic?

I have the maxbilt trail tails that are round. They're a fine light but I don't really think round lights look right on a TJ.

I also have Blaine's lenses and plan to make custom 3d printed housings to replace the trail tails.

6061 T6 Aluminum LED Housings

Vs

Molded(Plastic?) ASA LED Housings

Aluminum version don’t have the “M” on the corners which I dislike about the molded versions.

Enjoy your gappy tail lights.

I am looking for bright trail lights so that’s a factor to add.

I have NO issues with them...

Then you do not want MaxBilt. I had them briefly and was disappointed by how dim they were and by how cheap they looked.
