JDM tail lights




To keep it or not ...that's my delima

I bought this from eBay.
I thought the JDM tail lights are going to be so different....
I really did not like it that much.
Only difference I see are , one less bulb socket and the clear middle part where it's orange for the us model.

might as well keep them. i know what you mean though, about thinking they'd look different. i was a little disappointed with the orange lens inside but even so, i'd never go back to the stock red/orange/white tails. the inspires look so much cleaner, imo.

^ It's all in the details... Actually having the little amber cap makes me want to have a standard filament bulb in there, just to stay out of trouble. As Diego knows, Cali is a bitch when it comes to cars.

get rid of the orange plastic amber inside. I think it makes a big difference. here is a picture of one without the orange amber and i honestly think it looks good on dark colored cars

i'd try that, except the chance of ruining my $200 tails outweighs my desire to have all clear at the bottom, heh. but it definitely looks better without the amber in there.

Sell him your stockers. Or you can buy my stock tails. $1000. Sounds about right considering that wing is being sold for $500... . But seriously, if you want stock tails, PM me. If you want a new harness for them then I can sell you that, too since I'm sure whomever stole your car didn't take the time to unplug every light socket.

~Cheers~

^? A comparison photo with the Inspire tails sitting on the trunk? What's weird about that? It's not like they are mounted there...

Yeah, they do really make a difference. I noticeed some cars today with tailights that were only red/clear. They look so much cleaner than cars that have an amber lens. Guess I'm gonna have to pony up some csh for a set...
