dont know I would probably use red just cause the ccfls are really brite and the red would shine throught fine (probably be alot brighter than stock) but dont do them for brake lights because they take a secound or two to be full brightness

But seriously do an A

HIDS would probably need a higher watteg than the reverse lights have you would probably need to run a relay with a 14 gauge wire or similar

Just a word of caution if yuo do that and just wire it straight to reverse lights, watch for flickering or simlar thing it means there not enough power

This would look way better than circles But still pushing the As

just use LEDs for your reverse lights. whats the point of having those kinds of reverse lights when they will only be on for a few seconds. besides with the ballast flicking on and off that much, it will probably not last very long.

Just because I like angel eyes does not mean I like Them in the back, thats why I say you shouldnt put others down for things they do to there car because every one has different tastes IMO a simple I dont like it will sufice

I think the angel eyes on the front are on the verge of being "To much " but on the back IMO is over doing it but I would like to see somthing done to the rear lites that is unique

I don't like the G35 tail light style on a acura. Maybe straight lines will be a better look...

I'm curious what you had in mind... would you takeout the bulbs and replace them with the CCFLs or would you use both and incorporate them together? How many CCFLs would you use, 2?...
