99-01 taillight conversion to 02-03 help

ive looked around through the forum and search but cant find exactly what i looking for. what parts do i need to complete this conversion. people mention all kinds of things about harnesses and bulbs and everything like that and i cant figure out what it is exactly that i need to buy. could someone just tell me everything that i need to complete the conversion. i want to change the bulbs to the chrome amber ones too but some threads say that certain bulbs wont fit. i was looking on ebay at some made by depo, and plan on getting those. what bulbs will i need, and is that all i need or is there something other than the bulbs and housing? any help on installation of the bulbs and taillights would help too. thanks

The bulb size is a bulb size so whatever factory bulb is just get that size in chrome. All you need is the tail lights. If you get the harnesses and the little box is on the left change it to the elft and you should fine.

Very easy project, shouldn't take more than an hour, when I went back to stock it literally took me 15 min going slow. Yes, just the chrome bulbs and housings nothing else.

the depo ones come with everything you need. no need for harnesses or tape, even comes with stock amber bulbs.

how much different is the depo from the oem?
i had the depo tails installed and some lady backed into my car in a parking lot and cracked one of them. i wanna buy just one new tail instead of buying another pair. i found a single oem one for much cheaper than any single depo one but the one that i already have on my car is depo, so if i buy the oem one is it going to be a noticable difference?

They'll look exactly the same. The only way you'll notice any difference is when you look up close to the bottom of the lens. One will say DEPO and the other one will say HONDA. So unless people are doing forensic analysis of your car, nobody will notice.
