Default tail light conversion

ok i have been kicking around the idea of doing a taillight conversion. i was thinking either going with 97-01 prelude lights or 02-05 rsx taillights. trying to get others opinions on it on which one they think would look better or has anyone seen either conversion done in person. i have seen pics of the lude lights and only a few of the rsx lights. just trying to get opinions on it

If you are soliciting opinions on tail light modifications, you should post in the Appearance / Cosmetic forum. That being said, I'd leave them alone and spend the money elsewhere.

im just trying to get opinions on it. like in the pic above i think the lude lights look good and not to outta place like say a supra taillight conversion. i have had the phases. euro, all clear, 94-97 tails and currently i have the 99 oem tails on the car now. i dont want my car to look like the rest of the tegs out there but im not slapping on a body kit and big aluminum wing. i havent set it in stone that im gonna do it just been thinking about doing it

The prelude tails don't look bad, but it also doesn't look right. I would look elsewhere to spend money, if it's going into my car i.e. suspension, seats, wheels, motor work, jdm front. Any one of those things can make your car look different from the rest.

this is so 90's!!! I remember back in '98, people were doing tail light conversions left and right. The cleanest one I saw was a del sol with jag tail lights. During my early ricer days (when body kits and light conversions were cool), I was actually thinking of doing the jdm mr2 tail lights. I'm glad I left them alone! Do what you want..its your car, your style, your money...who cares what HT thinks

i'm not a big fan of conversions, but i must admit that integ with prelude taillights is pretty damn clean....

so out of the two choices i'd say go with the prelude lights...

I know I would not do this conversion to my car
