Best tail lights?

So I'm thinking of getting new tail lights because I'm starting to not like mine anymore (even tho i just got them in june). What are some of the best looking ones out there for a decent price and where can i get them? these are just some that i got off ebay cuz i thot they looked cool being black on a black car..



I'm thinking maybe LED or something like this?


Anyways...opinions PLEASE!

Re: Best tail lights?

black it out using tint or a special type of spray paint. or convert it to 04-05 model if you can find it.
black on black looks pretty clean imo
heres what it looks like on my car
-i dont know if cops are a pain in your area, but they havent bothered me yet
and with tints it would be very easy to remove anyways

Best looking: Stock, can be found at the dealership, in the 'for sale' section, or probably in your attic/basement/closet

Although, I do like these, but IMO they are too pricey.

Re: Best tail lights?

yea post a pic DieMaster I'd like to see how they look when they're actually on the car...but is it not illegal to have the brake lights being white instead of red? And KCARI, where did you get your red badges? I need some...

Re: Best tail lights?

i got mine at a local ricer store that sells JDM stuff. I just brought the OEM emblems in and they sold me whatever was the closes in size. The rear prongs need to be modified, but it still doesnt sit flush onto the car. The front is about 90/100 fitment and needs no modification.
I believe the front is an ep3 front and the rear DC5, but i am not entirely sure. Its one or the other, not two of the same.

I love those emblems!!! Where did you happen to find the EM2 badge? and I've been searching for a red Honda Civic badge for a while and I still haven't been able to locate one.
