Rep Power: 0 Getting my car back from the body shop.. need tail light opinions
I am getting my car back Wednesday from the body shop, full paint job (same color of slight flake dark blue), and getting all the dents, body damage fixed. As well as, taking the wing and the trim off.
I have blacked out windows, nice matte black rims, nice drop, black projectors with 6000k HID's, but my tail lights are all ****ed up. I'm not sure if I should get some stock ones and do something to them, or if there is a nice smoked/black pair online. PLEASE no Altezzes. I was trying to find some nice LED ones but coulnd't.
Please help out as soon as you can or I'm going to end up with no tail lights, LOL.
Thanks for your input!

04-05 OEMs or the LED ones that look like 04-05 OEMs.. That's what I'd recommend.

I'll try for the 04 or 05 OEMs, but is it easy to smoke them out? The red just looks so out of place. And if you have any links for the LED one's that look OEM that
would be FANTASTIC!

I just found these. I ****ing love these, but I wish they came in a smoked-like version. Any clues?
Edit: And these, I know I will need a sliht converison since the back of my car is really a 2002 but has a 2004 front clip and 2004 back bumper.

Go here https://www.civicforums.com/forums/2...ll-inside.html I posted this thread up there are 3 different versions of those LED lights well 4 including the one you posted the link for if you like them I would just get them and tint them. I ended up getting stock 04-05 tails and love them. Also half way down a guy has the ones you like you can see pics of them on his car.

I'm pretty sure I'm going with these.... my car is the exact same color as the car in this video.
I do know there will have to be a slight conversion because my car is a 2002 with an 04 front clip and 04 back bumper but one bulb supposedly doesn't fit. It shouldn't be a problem though, because my car is already in the shop and I plan to just ask them

The first LED ones you posted up were one of 2 I've been looking at. I have 04 OEMs on my EBP '02 coupe, and I think the bright red (instead of the dark red of the 01-03 tails) looks pretty good on it

headlightarmor.com has light or dark smoke film (the good thick stuff not window tint).
