Hey guys
I am going to be purchasing the 2002 Tails. Has everybody bought the ACURA brand or is there anybody out there that has bought aftermarkets. Is there any difference in shade of red or anything. Please post pics of ur tails and tell me what brand you think I should purchase.
Thanks So much

 

hey, post this in the second gen forum and you will get more responses. as for me, i purchased aftermarkets and have held up fine. i just had to tape my harness into the taillight because i didnt buy the new harness. i think i bought the matrix tails maybe. not sure, it was a long time ago. goodluck.

 

here ya go.

 

thanks. they look the same to me. have any more pictures? and im not understanding the tapeing thing i keep reading about. its just to the back correct-you cant see it right?

 

yeah, its the actual harness not fitting correctly into the taillight housing. it doesnt 'notch' in like it is supposed to. that is why we have to just tape in to keep the bulb in the correct position, or else you gotta get the harness. it works, so i just leave it.

 

all my bulbs fit perfectly fine on my tailights, and they're the DEPO ones(aftermarket 02-03 tails), and i paid half as much by bying the aftermarket ones

 

stock 02+ tails will require taping or a new harness to fit your current sockets. The DEPO ones will be a direct fit plus at the top corners, there is no silver lining, just clear.

 

sexyy. looks hot

 

that's what i did too water doesnt get in... cheaper than buying the harness for another ~$20-30.

 

So, Is DEPO the way to go? (For best fit, appearance, and quality)

 

I remember reading a thread not to long ago about mismatched reds. I could have sworn that one of the taillights was pink. That tread stopped me from purchasing aftermarket taillights.

 

Best is still OEM imo - if you dont mind buying the wiring harness or using electric tape to secure the turn signals. DEPO is good from what I've seen/read and is much cheaper. But for me I like going with OEM parts because for sure it's perfect fitment & quality. I actually got the 02-03 tails by trading + $ so lucky me

 

thanks!

 

Hey guys does anyone got any 0203 taillight for sale???

 

best place to ask is in the Black Market forum: https://acurazine.com/forums/non-automotive-motorcycle-sales-9/

 

oem for sure. i cracked one of mine and to replace it i paid i think 190 for one tail light. kinda rough on the price.

check ebay some salvage yards sell on there.

i have the cracked one. its cracked on the top where its clear. all you would have to do is put a peice of rockblocker or better yet tinted rockblocker on there and you wouldn't be able to tell. like i said im just gonna throw it out eventually. pm me if you want it

 

i got the fake ones...but their just as damn good and i got them from my g/f who paid 150$

 

Woww!! clean ride man. One of my fav.

Thanks!
I think i'll go with aftermarket taillights. Are those DEPO taillights?

 

Looks good, I'm searching for those depo tail lights also, where did you G/F go to get them that cheap? I keep seeing them for $110.00 each,
