Hello everyone,
I have a question regarding tail lights.
On my car (98 ITR) the taillights are red, with red, red and white plastic.
I was involved in a collision (someone ran into the rear of my car from the side)
and the passenger side taillight was destroyed. The body shop ordered a new taillight by part number and it is different. However, I did verify the part numbers of both lights, and they are the same.
The "new" taillight has amber/yellow corners, and red and white for the rest, and is clear and not red, if that makes sense. (The area around the plastic lenses is red on my original, as opposed to clear on the new, sorry I dont really know the correct terminology here).
So, my question is, which is correct? Or, which is original?
I am the 2nd owner of the car, and it is possible that the prior owner changed the taillights, but I just dont think it likely. He was very much into keeping it in stock form, and I have ALL the service records and there is no indication of a taillight change being made.
The Acura dealer here (parts manager) says that my lights are from a 94-96 Integra and are not the correct lights for the car.
Anyone with a stock 98 ITR care to take a pic and share with me?
Thanks !!!

 

Maybe this will help:

 

Thank you, that does help!
It confirms what I already believed to be true.
My taillight IS original and correct.

Thanks again!
