Re: JDM tail light mod??? (B18CX-EH)
naw man, dont spray them. jdm lights are rare, and it would just ruin the lights. if u wanna spray ur lights, ill trade u and u give me ur lights. heck ill even spray them candy apple for u. 
oh btw: how'd u get the lights from them? i didnt see them sell these at all...

Re: JDM tail light mod??? (starang w0ndah)
the USDM taillights have a sidemarker light that comes on at night and is separate when u brake, the JDM taillights light up all the way around instead of having the side marker thing. so to sum that all up: usdm: lights up part way only when braking, jdm: lights up all the way around when braking. not a big deal but looks nice.

i wouldn't paint the jdm ones, but if you want all red tails, sell the jdm ones, get a usdm set for cheap and paint them. i did and they look tight and have held up good.

JDM!?!? Don't touch 'em!!! 
Dude just paint them if you want. The cool thing about the tailights won't be ruined, and they won't have that big *** nasty orange part.

Re: JDM tail light mod??? (tFUnK)

you can remove the old paint no prob if you don't like em....just spray on oven cleaner, let it sit for an hour and then just wipe the paint off.

Re: JDM tail light mod??? (mr. skelly)
i used to worry about this whole tail light stuff, but my car is not a show car. I realized I will Never see them at night because no one else is willing to drive my car (it requires that special finesse 
). just get the cheapest stock replacements to find, this way if something happens to these you wont really care because you got them for hella cheap

Re: JDM tail light mod??? (nijia555)
i dont think some of you really understood the whole thing... i was in a wreck and fucked up the my USDM lights that i had sprayed all red.... i already have the JDM lights they are on my car right now... i payed $150 for them... and im stuck between sprayin the JDM ones or now.. cuz i really liked the way the all kandy apple red lights looked on championship white.. but then i think.. these are RARE jdm del sol pieces... i cant deface them..

Just because its JDM doesnt mean they were blessed by the hand of god himself! If you liked the look of all red on your CW del sol before then do it again!!
You answered your own question. You really liked it before so why wouldnt you do it again. Not like its a big noticeable difference anyway (between the USDM and JDM tailights. I say do it!!!!!! I bet the all red looks nice too.
