OEM tails are ugly. New tails wanted (no altezzas)
Well I got my car back from the shop today and it looks really clean. I wrecked my door into a pole and it looks perfect now. That whole one side of the car was repainted and looks nice. Now that I have gotten my car fixed I'm looking to buy a new pair of tail lights. Im thinking either clear on red or red on clear, but I dont think you can get red on clear for 92-95 civic. BTW i drive a red 95 civic ex. Well if anyone has any suggestions to what kinda tail lights I should get post, and post pics if you have any. Im thinking of jdm. I have also seen some jdm tails that are silver and red. Those look nice. Well please post suggestions. Thanks

The Japanes tails just have a slight difference from the US spec tails. The ones you have posted don't look too bad, as long as they're not Altezza's, it's your money/car, go for it

I dont think they are altezzas, but the thing says so. I think its to try and sucker ricers into getting them. Im thinking of getting all clear tails
Those, but only if i can customize them and make them into si style, red on clear. There was a member that knew how to do that and im no the look for him right now. Anyone ever see sliver on red. I think they are jdm.

Those look really nice and they are painted. Have you seen painted ones that look shitty or something?

Re: OEM tails are ugly. New tails wanted (nacho)
Some guy posted a how-to on painting the stock tails all red except for the rectangular reverse section and it looked pretty damn good. Probably can't dig it up though.

Re: OEM tails are ugly. New tails wanted (Digital Dave)
red/clear are legal.
brake lights MUST BE RED.
back up lights - MUST BE CLEAR [or amber? i dunno...]
turn signals MUST BE RED OR AMBER.
those clear tail lights are highly illegal and a cop will pull u over without thinking twice.

I think the half and halfs and the clears look good. As long as they aren't altezzas. The new style tails won't fit. I think they are a bit taller.
