why are 94-97 tails worth less then 98-01, all i have to do is paint the orange red and no one would be able to tell the difference.

Is this a serious question?

I can sure tell the difference when some one paints the amber part red...because I've done it before and it just didn't look that good. It looks great if you do it the right way, but it doesn't last long or retain its gloss like the rest of the plastic. 85% of the ones I've seen painted looked like CHIT! (faded, dull, too many coats of paint, etc) People just think the all red 98+ tail lights are just cleaner...thus, more of a demand, reasoning why asking prices are much more than 94-97 tail lights.

well why are the 98 worth more, i thought orange is JDM!!!!!! its cool, i got them cheap no biggie.

I agree with "iH8RICERZ" 94-97 Tails aren't 98-01 Tails...you can paint them, but that doesn't make it 98-01...it's the same thing with every other part...just because a 94 has 98 bumpers, doesn't make it a 98. If you were a consumer, what would you buy--"painted 94-97 tail lights" or "98-01 tail lights"...

i would rather have orange in them.

http://www.leftlanenews.com/nhtsa-co...l-mandate.html this is why i changed myn to amber, my auto teacher in high school also praised amber turn signals for the simple reason that its easier to see, small black car is hard enough to see at night let alone the countless horrible drivers on the road.

ummmmmm one guess BECAUSE IT IS OLDER. you never graduated high school did you? if you did you didn't go to college did you?

kevinm1981

OLDER AND MINT, THAT SHOULD MAKE IT WORTH MORE.

You can think about it anyway you want but simply put, the all red 98-01 tails are worth more because more people demand it in the market. Sure there are some people who prefer the amber tails, but a majority of other people are after the all red tail lights. And sellers are selling it for much more because they know that there are desperate people who are willing to buy it for much more. Its supply and demand.

I like the ambers in my tail lights. But I have a really clean set.....I used that 3M lense repair. That thing works magic....

i prefer the amber tail lights, accents the car better imo, and makes drivers more aware of your signal, as most drivers expect to see a red light flashing for a turn signal from behind

^ Someone had to bring the stupid to this thread... good job.

As other people have stated it is just because more people want all red... Nothing else. Personally I like the amber turn signals.

u know what i kinda like the 94s but i got free 98 taillights from my brother last night so i put them on last night lol if i end up no caring for them after i get some sidemarkers then ill just trade em back

BlackEM2

then

now


i thought it would accent the sidemarkers but could be wrong i like it for now

nafreak

it may be jsut the light or the age difference between the 2, but the red on the 98+ looks like it is quite a bit darker

TunerN00b

Correct.
