Broke down and bought 04 tails!!!!

I tried and tried but nobody wanted to sell theirs, so I went to the dealers and bought some for my 01 coupe. I had tyc altezza's for so long, and I outgrew them. I am just looking for a clean look to the back, and I love the 04 tails better than the previous years. Ive allready got plans to eliminate the turn signals, and have the brake/tails lights blink as the turn signal, off and on together, like older style trucks, so the top light won't be on at all!!! I also like how they dont have that extra parking light on the side like my old ones did. Heres a pic - BTW, I know my color doesn't look right on my lip, but it is just the camera, so ignore it, its a poor lighting area in the garage, and the cars put away for winter.

$200, but it was worth it, way better than Altezza's, God have I outgrown that!

Good choice. Those 04 tails look so good. They add a bit more class. I'm so sick of seeing the altezza's. Everyone and their mom has those things. I see 80 year old men with those on there ford rangers. PLAYED OUT!

Its actually gonna cost me like $240 after I get the sockets, cause the 03 plugs are different than the 04.

Just alittle info. I think the tail lights for an 04 coupe cost is $76 each if I remember the invoice correct. You should see some of the dealer mark-ups, you'd be amazed.

Nice choice, I think I'm gonna get those tails, too. But from an 04 owner who doesn't want 'em... I don't have the $200 to shell out.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!
sockets is not the only things you will need to get.
you need bulbs too

also youll need the 04 wiring harness to re-wire the whole rear-end.
Trust me, I did this mod too. I needed to buy a harness. Junkyards in my area dont have em so I paid the d ealer 50
