<font size="2"><font face="Comic Sans MS">Those BMTroubleyou lights are probably the best swap I've seen they're such a good neat fit it looks like they're always meant to be there.

What I don't like about the standard TR-7 lights (apart from the fact that they are poorly made crap) is that they look a bit like some of the awful cheap and nasty styling geegaws you would expect to see on a 70's Toyoburuhatsuzukissanmazuzu japcrap car.
Unnecessarily fussy and over ornate for no good reason.

My thought when I first saw the TR7 was "AMC Gremlin tail lights." I remember thinking at the time that TR6 tail lights would have looked better. But I have yet to see a conversion that I like better, and have almost grown to like them.

Just my first reaction to the tail lights back in the '70s. I always liked the Wedge; I've gotten used to the tail lights.

those late-model gremlin tail-lites- geez, that's yucko! however, the early-'70's models were rectangular, less in-your-face, & more business-looking. had a couple of those back in the day (when i had hair) & wish i still did. durable, dependable, & the '73 had the factory 304 v-8! broke a ton with ease, numerous times. but, i digress.
