Default opinions on the red and clear tail lights??

i searched but couldn't find anything relevent, i have gay-tezzas at the moment and they are just that, gay, I am going to get rid of the them and probably do the red clear conversion, how hard is it to do, does anyone have any finished pictures?

could i just cheat and buy tails like that? thanks

my car is milano red btw so it will flow together

What kind of car? EG or EK?

For EG's you can buy them on ebay for like $75 shipped and they look great, theyre the next mod on my list.

For EK just buy EX tails. dunno what they cost.

This is my 96 Civic LX 4 door, after the red/white lights. They look a LOT better than altezzas for the sole purpose that these dont suck.

i really like them (the red clear) alot, my altezzas...look like crap they really do, good thing they were a freebie

My friend B20VtecEK took all clear tails, the ones that dont have any red in them at all, and painted the bottom or top half (whatever the tail light bulbs go in on an EK) and painted that transperant red, and put clear bulbs and when ther eon its like a pinkish color and during the day they look like regular Si tails.

You can do it to and civic that they sell the ALL CLEAR tails for, i think some people call them ice tails or some weird ghey ****.

ghey car but just for the idea of the all clear tails on a 92-95, you would paint the bottom half transperant red and put clear bulbs in the bottom and amber for the turn signals and etc....


They look good trust me

because the ones you can buy are acrylic red or whatever and even with clear bulbs it is still very red, plus the inside of the taillight is red too, with the trasperant red sprayed just on the outside of the housing it will light up a pinkish color...

its alot different....and cheaper beign as those tails on ebay cost like 35 bucks, and the red/clear ones are a bit more expensive and dont look as good lit up IMO, ok i give up whatever just letting you all know its a cool effect damn...

hey yea get the half red half white ones but seal them right when you get them before you put them on.. i have installed a couple sets all on eg's eg hatch and coupe the center parts dont leak but the outer ones turn into fishtanks but you cant tell unless you look close. i couldt tell until i took mine offf and it was almost half full of water and the last it rained was a week before and it was 90-a lil over 100 degrees after it rained.. so it prob had more then half full of water but most evaporated... but i sealed mine and they still look great and imo best next to stock..

i bought some of the Red/Clear's off ebay not too long ago for my 94' Coupe. My car is dark purple and they make it look soo much cleaner looking, i think at least, i just hate the fat amber on the sides. I like amber's up front, but not at the rear in my opinion these are the best lights for civics
