hey man if you throw those chrome ones away, can i have some of the pieces. was trying to crack those open and paint them (a guy gave me a set for free so why not) and broke the corner and broke the clip on the reverse light connector...

What do I think? I think I really hate the Lexus IS300/Toyota Altezza for introducing that style of tail lighting to the public. What an eyesore. Much better the way you have it now.

I also think that Windstar in the driveway would destroy your Civic in the quarter mile.

glad to hear you were able to make some money off them. I didn't think they'd even sell so thats why i was hoping to get that connector. It's not really a big deal but after i broke them, i just left them in my garage because i wanted to paint them and see how it'd turn out. good job with the conversion tho

All of the bulb connectors fit, except the turning signals one. the connector is different. I got my connector from the brake light that is by the back glass.
