Okay, I wasn't planning on changing my OEM tail lights but a tree limb accidentally ran into my tail light.

Anyway, the cracked tail light got me thinking...ordering a custom tail light would probably be cheaper than ordering an OEM replacement. But should I go with a black or clear housing?





I would rather it not look too odd in appearance...you know how some custom tail lights really do not match the overall "look" of the car.

Anyway, I have a Magnesium Metallic 04 Civic EX 4DR and was hoping someone would have some pics of their tail lights on their Magnesium Metallic Civic with either a black or clear housing. Or maybe just opinions...

Thanks for your help!!

My mods so far...
- Enkei J10 w/ Yokohama YK520 Tires (205/50/16)
- Sylvania SilverStar Hi/Lo/Signal
- K&N Drop-In Filter (will replace with K&N Typhoon Kit)

Try and find some of the JDM tails, they look amazing. Screw those tails, they'll leak after a couple months.

i dont like either of those tail lights i would really go with jdm but if you are dead set on those then go with the black housings. but seriously i would get jdm.

As soon as I hit submit, I just knew that I was going to be ragged on this. Oh well...better to hear it from others than wasting my money. Thanks for the feedback!!

Since you mentioned JDMs, I did a quick search in this forum and found some 01-05 JDM tails for sale. And yes, they do look amazing. Much better than the ones I picked earlier. I kinda like that cleaner look anyway.

Hopefully, I can get a good deal for them or at least find them on the web.

+1 for the JDM-style tails.

Is the tree limb going to pay? He ran into YOU, so he should. That bastard.

I think that sums it up.

On most days i'd say jdm for the sedan or OEM. But with your color ride, *this is the first time i've ever said this*... the black housing ones wouldnt look half bad. Its all up to you though
