Postwhhhhore......BTW.....I like the stock taillights. I am sure you can buy a set that has the "si" style tailights for a 92-95 hatch.

I had them but went back to stock. There are two different brands you can get off of ebay. Make sure you look closely to see which ones you like better.

I looked and looked for red bulbs, but could never find any. NAPA insists they don't exist. If you could tell me where to find some I'd appreciate it, because my altezzas could use some reddening up.

if you've got a tezza or other clear lense and cut the top half of it off.
Then paint that a translucent white or just leave it clear if you wanna go that way.
Then cut half of the OE lense off.
Then glue the tezza top and OE bottom together and put it back on the assembly.
So, yeah, it can be done, but it's not exactaly easy or fun... here's a similar how to: http://www.moresol.freeservers.com/5050tails.htm

Re: EG tailights...can you remove the orange part? (sohcvtec1995)
they're just tezza's w/ red painted over the top... nice way to change up the tails when you get tired of them (if you don't have picky cops that'll bust you for having something covering the reflectors) Oh and before we start this again, I realize you can see the reflectors on those, but that doesn't mean that they're legal... if there's something covering the reflector it's not legal. Just like the 50/50's I posted aren't legal unless you have an orange reflector on the side... chances are you'd never get stopped for this, but better safe than sorry and out a pair of tails
