Default clear tails

I see some civics around with totally clear tail lights. how does this work for your brake lights? Do you use a colored bulb or something?

most people use a colored bulb and get pulled over because the bulb illuminates pink,try getting some of those led bulbs they looks better. but i havent seen anybody with clear tailights in years

Yes, they use red colored bulbs for the break lights, and amber bulbs for the turn signals.

lol..FAD, and ricey! you mine as well cook some rice and slap them on to your tail lights, makes them look white, but not toatlly clear! J/K.

id suggest you get the BEST and BRIGHTEST red LED's out there and amber bulbs. But remember cops aren't that dumb anymore, so GL not getting pulled over.

I used to have them, and then I decided to smoke them. I took them off and I still have them laying around, I put my OEM ones back one.

Colored bulbs solved the problem.

stock = clean, and nicer... i would recomend the red and clear - gives it a jdm look to it and gets orange out of way.

true, amber does look pretty good as well. i cant stand those clear tails w/ red circles... everytime i see it... i just knodd my head, but i mean i'm not against it, i believe everyone should have their own style, but i'm not for that. i like stock/jdm look. makes it look strong, and sharp

I agree...but then again I view buying JDM tails for mad money "rice" too.
Just keep your stocks. If ANYTHING, buy the red/clears.

JDM is just as ricey. So instead of getting a ugly *** cheap body kit or something, you get RAPED and pay for "luxury" rice...but I guess those $300 gauge clusters add +50 whp

Now that everyone with an EK has the 99-00 red/clear tails, I'm really starting to dig the 96-98 coupe tails with the amber. Looks real good.
