Harley tail-lights vs Standard

Honestly, what is the difference? I'm looking at some from Tasca and I don't see any difference besides part numbers. What gives?

Harleys are just Slightly darker, that's it.

Hmmm...I didn't see $100 worth of darker.

So, that's a hundred bucks I don't need to spend. Thanks!

It's worth a $20 can of nightshade, but I would say not worth the $100. Just my opinion.

WOW. Nice comparison but clearly not worth $100 to me.

I don't care much for that option either so I'll keep my money for something else and leave'em stock XLT.

$100 for the tails! Are they up to that already? I bought mine in '06 for about $60 for both!!!! They make a huge difference on the DSG F-150's I love mine

one scratch and they are ruined, i have done many sets and they always get wrecked.

sell the stockers on here or ebay and buy the harley tails. o7silverfx4 has harley tails on his truck, subtle but a nice change from stock. also can't get in trouble with the law because they are oem parts.

I noticed a bigger difference once I actually got the Harley tails in my hand and had them on the truck. Ive never seen a comparision picture look anything close to what the Harley tails on my truck look like.

100 bucks is Fn crazy though. The 60 bucks I paid was well worth it for me compared to Nightshades that is going to get scratched up and just look like crap.

Don't get me wrong. They look very nice in my opinion. And I would buy them since my painting skills are a bit lacking. :o
