Civic Coupe@United Kingdom
I'm not sure if this is an old topic or anything but here I go:
what do you guys think of the taillights of this coupe? The rear bumper's addition of another backlight there is also kinda interesting..
would these every be available in the U.S.? curious..
just to let you know, these are the coupes of United Kingdom. Anybody from UK?

Rep Power: 0 how many unique taillights does honda have for the civic?!? the north america market has 4 -- the tails for the coupe, the tails for the si, the tails for the sedan, and the "red altezza" sedan style for the hybrid. the JDM ferio (sedan) has red on top, clear blinkers... and the JDM hybrid's tails are clear all around (altezza style). in europe, the coupe's taillights are identical to the US except that the blinker has a clear lens. not to mention the JDM/euro type-r, the 5-door, the hatchback... damn, honda... SIMPLIFY!!!
anyways, on the same topic, i was thinking about adding a rear fog lamp to my sedan. the euro coupe's bumper looks just awful... come on, how hard would it be to integrate it in to the main lens?! audi, bmw, mercedes all have the fog lamp in the main (driver's-side) taillight...
since i don't wanna do the ugly bumper mod, i was thinking about painting the driver's-side reverse light red, and wiring the bulb up to a switch seperately (so it won't come on with the other backup light). it may sound kinda goofy to only have 1 reverse light, but considering that they don't do a hell of alot to begin with, i'm fine with giving one up. does anyone think that it would look fruity? (i've got the sedan, so they're pink anyway [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] )
btw, this is how saab did it on the 9000 (aka 9-5) a few years ago. there was a rectangle-shaped lens on each side of the tail light assembly (it was one piece that stretched across the back)... one was red, the other was pinkish-white. saabs are cool, yo.

Rep Power: 0 unless you drive a lot in foggy condition, otherwise it is useless to me...even it is foggy, turning the rear fog on would not clear up the fog. so i would just stick to whatever we have on our civic (nice and simple)

Rep Power: 0 People on this site have been trying to get those tail lights for over a year, and except for people in Europe, nobody has them.
