Anyone install these tailights?
I happen to prefer an amber turn signal taillight. I found these:
Honda Genuine Tail Light Set, Accord Euro-R CL7 Outers
If you have, please post pics and any details of the install.

I've got a set.
Coltsicehockey made a DIY thread for these. I've followed his instructions and only took me 45 mins. Easy easy to do.
What i like best about them is that they flash the same color as the side mirror blinkers and the headlight signals.

Thanks for the pics and the replies. I checked out CCColtsicehockey's DIY (which was written very well) and saw that you need to remove the bumper. I was hoping they could be replaced just through the trunk. But the amber turn signals are definitly a plus IMHO.

Other than the JDM tails having amber blinkers, it looks like there is not a provision for a rear sidelight, which I believe is on the USDM tails. Can anyone confirm this?
If there is no rear sidelight, you might be in violation of Standard 108.
This is from Wikipedia:
Sidemarker lights
In North America, amber front and red rear sidemarker lamps and retroreflectors are required. The law initially required lights or retroreflectors on vehicles made after 1 January 1968. This was amended to require lights and retroreflectors on vehicles made after 1 January 1970. These side-facing devices make the vehicle's presence, position and direction of travel clearly visible from oblique angles. The lights are wired so as to illuminate whenever the vehicles parking and taillamps are on, including when the headlamps are being used. Front amber sidemarkers in North America may or may not be wired so as to flash with the turn signals.[22] Sidemarkers are permitted outside North America, but not required. If installed, they are required to be brighter and visible through a larger horizontal angle than US sidemarkers, they may not flash, and they must be amber at the front and rear unless the rear sidemarker is incorporated into the main rear lamp cluster, in which case it may be red or amber. Some Japanese, European, British and US-brand vehicles have sidemarkers in Europe and other countries where they are not required.
Japan's recent accession to internationalized ECE Regulations has caused automakers to change the rear sidemarker colour from red to amber on their models so equipped in the Japanese market.[23]

Legality is a very muddled area. Plenty of folks drive around with illegal tint, clear sidemarkers, talk on their cell phones, don't signal when changing lanes, drive over the speed limit....you see where I'm going. Very few of these violators get fined for their actions. But the one time they do get pulled over, they may get called on the carpet for everything that they are in violation of.
With my luck, I'm that guy.

), which is even better (for law abidingnessness). The most common light violations I've ever heard of peole getting are, One headlight inop, or broken tail light, or inop. brake lights.

[QUOTE=ILoveMyHonda]No there isn't. But, IMHO what law enforcement agent is really goin to notice that, honestly. /QUOTE]
I'm sure if they won't notice it, neither will someone trying to cross on a red light or someone who doesn't stop at stop signs. (Yes, just down the block there's a 4-way stop where most cars won't stop if they're on the north-south street
And if it is noticeable, then any cop waiting for his turn to go through an intersection can notice it.

Turn signal color trends seem to cycle regularly between red and amber.
Remember all the fads with headlights and taillights that have come and gone?
Headlights... smoked covers, eyelids, "ion" look lenses and bulbs, HID look bulbs, blue, etc, etc.
Taillights (and side markers)...smoked, clear/filtered that actually looked white, red/jeweled, clear/jeweled (a.k.a. Altezza), LED, etc.
Aesthetically, I prefer red to amber.
But for visibility and safety, I prefer amber.
So amber turn signals win, in my book.

I never got into the "candy red sprayed" tails, it looked weird with all that red back there.
But for visibility I say Amber owns, when i look at other TSX's signal it just doens't SCREAM im signaling as much as amber does, it blends to much for me.
I especially dislike how some cars have "brake signals"
To each his own

I see you have the rear fog light...is it hooked up and functional or is it used as a reverse light (one red and one white)?
