Re: B5.5 Taillights......... why did VW have to ruin a good thing? (vwjedi-passat)
They're actually not bad IMO. Not a great improvement, but it updates the look of the back end with minimal cost to VW. Compared to several new sedans (IS300 of course, plus the Altima, and new Mazda 6) the new taillights are downright restrained. On the other hand, I like my B5 grille much better than the B5.5, although I'd trade you guys for the new head and foglights.
