Smile TSX Tail Lights

I always wanted to change the tail lights of the TSX.
I like the OEM ones but I want the turn signal indicator on the tail lights to be orange instead of red.
The front and the on the rear view mirror signals are orange, and I want to match the tail lights.

Is there any vendor who sells after market tail lights for TSX?
I did a bit of searching but did not stumble on any.
Anyone who has cleared the tail lights of their TSX? I see a lot of them on TL.

Any assist would be appreciated!
thanks

There are no seriously different tail lights, so I think tinting would be the cheapest and yet stylish way to go IMO

a while back there was some site that had custom LED tail lights for euro-r accords. it was a japanese site and i think the actual cost of the tail lights, whatever the did whether it was retrofitting or whatever, was like $800 bucks in USD.

i'm sure the thread is around somewhere.

Not only no reflectors, but no bulbs behind those missing reflectors, either...

Thanks lcrazyaznl

This is exactly how I thought..! very nice pictures.
Was not sure how it would look but now I am confident about changing it to amber lights.

I am assuming that you changed the bulb with amber colored bulb too?
any specific place you bought the yellow lens??

I've had JDM outer tails for a couple of years and love them. Amber is more visible in dark and rainy conditions, IMO, and it's a nice subtle way to set the car apart. I scored them for around $150 used on the Black Market. You can get a new set from Heeltoe at a great price, though.

Actually no since there is a yellow lens in jdm tailights. i don't need to change the bulbs its a standard halogen bulb. Although i've been thinking about leds but that would require resistors.

basically US required red signals in the rear for alot car manufactures.
Over in japan its amber,

i saw the new civics recently brought back the amber.

You can put a white led bulb in there. The outcome will be something yellow. I've tried this a while back.
