Tail lights

I was thinking about putting some new tail lights on my truck and was wondering what are the best brands to get. What type do all of ya'll have? I am lookin at 2 different ones now on ebay, TYC and APC. What is your experience with these brands? What do you think about one of these:

TYC: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT

APC: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT

Thanks for your replies!

I've got some similar ones on my SCrew, and I really like the way they look. Check out my gallery.

Personally, I'd go with the ones in the first link you listed. The APC ones are kinda three-dimensional - they stick out from the bed and look a little weird to me. Plus I think the CF on the APCs looks cheesy, and it'll be a much lighter shade of gray than the rest of your truck.

Oh, and whatever you buy, when you go to install them you may need to cut the mounting screws down a little. For some reason the aftermarket guys make the holes too shallow and the screws bottom out, causing your lights to rattle around and not sit flush. I don't know if this is the case with either of the lights you're looking at, but just... ...Cutting the screws a little shorter solves this problem.
