Opinions on Tail Light Okay, I wasn't planning on changing my OEM tail lights but a tree limb accidentally ran into my tail light. :_doh: 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? http://www.car-stuff.com/performance...81-5413-41.jpg http://www.car-stuff.com/performance...81-5413-91.jpg 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) http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...674_3_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...674_5_full.jpg |
please dont, stick with OEM |
ricer in the making |
Try and find some of the JDM tails, they look amazing. Screw those tails, they'll leak after a couple months. |
my opinion 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. https://www.civicforums.com/forums/1...need-sold.html Hopefully, I can get a good deal for them or at least find them on the web. |
lol its ok i just got ragged on for my bumpers not being painted even though i dont get the car till tomorrow but at least my bumpers are the same color as my car. lol |
hahah bro, u saved urself from alot of flaming.....hahah |
I have some 01-03 OEM Tails for the Sedan not sure if they will fit your ride, but hit me up if you need them....JDM are clean though for sure. |
oem looks 10 x better than those but that's just my opinion

+1 for the JDM-style tails. Is the tree limb going to pay? He ran into YOU, so he should. That bastard. |
|
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 |
Id paint the chrome/black part the color of your car |
