I want some red/clear taillights for my 98 civic ex coupe.


I went to a honda dealer and they cost about 350 there. I was hoping to get them cheaper then that.

to my understanding the half red half clear taillights come on all 99-00 models and will fit my 98 is this right?

:: besides ebay::

 

I got my red/clears off ebay for $85 shipped new. They're aftermarket but you can't even tell unless u really scrutinize them. No leaks either.

 

junk yard

 

eGay.

 

People sell em all the time for a 100. Thats what they go for. Try HT Classifieds or a local one. I rather pay an extra 20 and get OEM then some aftermarket.

Ditto. But you can try egay, but if you're looking for OEM ones it says they are OEM and not OEM style or some **** like that.

go into the OEM lighting link on the left side link.

The inside section is about $130 for the pair and it's another $130 for the outer pair.

 

I'm gonna check junk yards first. I wanna get the OEM instead of aftermarket. I have euros im gonna sell.

Will these lights fit with NO problem?

 

Yes they will, just make sure that you get some amber bulbs as well. It would look pretty stupid flashing white, illegal too.

 

I'v been looking around;
I guess 350 isnt a BAD price for the whole set(NEW).

I might just sell the euros and put in the difference to buy them new from honda?

I wouldnt do that. Yes you do get them NEW but you can still find some for WAY cheaper if you buy them used. And you wont be able to tell the difference from new ones or used ones, unless the used were cracked and chipped and crap like that. Just look around. Junk yards, H-T classifieds. Youll find some and you will be happy you saved the $250+ on the used ones.

 

dood if you pay 350 for some tail lights, im going to kick your azz! thats just plain retarded! thats a set of wheels, a drop kit , exaust cd player, subs, amp ..... hell its a lotta things ! just buy a used set or a aftermarket set! man o man what was he thinking!

 

ebay or maybe a junkyard.

What? Radio antenna?

 

yeah for my radio;

The one i have works fine but i think it looks stupid all the way up and i dont like sticking my hand out the window to move it.

btw dohc thanks for all this help i really appreciate it, im new to cars and im learning a lot

 

WHOA WHOA! The 98-96 antennas go down?! Thats news to me. There are some aftermarket antennas you can get, but I dont know how they look. This site has one, http://www.locustom.com/frameset/home.htm its called "shark attack 2" or something. Its a S2000 style antenna. I thought about getting it but changed my mind.

No problem, everyone used to be new to cars, I still have MUCH to learn too. I must say you picked the right site if you want to learn. But ALWAYS REMEMBER, do a search first. ALWAYS, otherwise your responses wont be so nice. Good luck, and like I said before you can check the honda-tech classifides for those taillights, you can even try and find someone local to you so you can pick them up.

 

yeah my antenna goes down

Can anyone else confirm this? Cause Ive always thought my 96 ex antenna went down but I wasnt sure.

 

Well, i bought my 98 civic used so unless they changed it.. it goes down. I wish it was automatic!

 

As far as I know, all the civic antenna's go down. You just have to manually do it. I might pick up a Lexus IS300 one for my friend.

As for the tails, ppl on the sites want like 200 for them and it's ridiculous. I just got a set of all clears and painted the top half red. Or you could just completely red out the orange reds or smoke it or half smoke it. Your options are plentiful.
