ok well i see tail lights on ebay that range from 25-80 sum odd $!
should i just go with the 25ish dollar ones or get the more expensive ones?...
to me... tail lights are tail lights as long as they work....

 

if u get cheap ones water will probably be a issue in the future. Just don't go cheap on parts like that.

Then dont buy rice tail lights. The last thing we need is another riced out honda. Just keep your oem lights.

 

they dont just sell riced out tail lights on ebay, he could have a cracked oem tail light and found a cheap one on ebay.

anyways i know a few people who get the ebay lights (nto the "riced" out ones, but the ones that say they are "oem") and they dont have any problems. But im pretty sure u can go to a honda discount site and get them pretty cheap there to and not haev to worry about leaks. I know they sell them pretty close to ebay prices

 

which ever you get, go to Honda and buy new gaskets. trust me.

 

Yes just buy new gaskets. Even OEM tail lights leak. Ebay ones may be of lower quality but its nothing that a few beads of glue and a few gaskets can't fix and rice or not its your car.

 

I don't know I'd personally but a good name brand. I snagged some APC tail lights, clear turn signals, and clear rear side markers off of eBay for $.99 with $20 shipping so cost me $20.99 total. To me that was one heck of a deal. They were used but like new. He even included a few sets of bulbs with them. I just wanted the tail lights so the rest of them were a bonus.

 

Which ones did you have in mind? post links or pics and that would help us give you a better answer then just NO.

Any tail light is modfiable even the worst looking ones with something simple like a smoke lay over or spray. As for the water leaking issue. My gf is a master at siliconing lens prior to installation to prevent leakage, I suggest you do the same.

 

how much are those gaskets? and how much are the rear bulb sockets?

water got into my tails and the rust "welded" the bult to the socket so it wont come out. i think i might need to splice new ones it. but the lights work for now so maybe i'll leave it as it is for now.

i also think the gasket may be important because i drained my tailes and put them in the oven to dry out all the mosture, a week later i got more water in them.

stock tails are like 47 a piece. i need tails also because my tailes have freaken algae growing in them! its ugly and im **** about things like that. i have to try to get things perfect.


finally i wish i could get some led tails or some blacked out housing euro tails (my car is black so it wouldnt look too riced out)

but since i have a coupe, they wont fit! theyre all made for sedans.

What kind of tail ligths are you looking for?!
Do you those "altezza" style ones?!

If so, I also live in florida (south florida to be more specific), and I have a brand new set of 96/97 tail lights "carbon fiber" altezzas. Lights are brand new (in a box), never been used or installed, and come with gaskets already.
Let me know if you are interested!

 

Yeah i was looking for some altezza style tail lights.
but it is a 94 O.o lol and as for styling the lights.
im not going the black / white rought trying to keep away from the black. thats why i was trying to go for some clear lights to match my clear apc bumpers/corners.
i couldnt find any apc clear tail lights if i could i would prolly settle with them. they seem reliable to me so far.

 

tail light are tail light as long as they work..

i would go to a junk yard buy a used one for 10 buck... a piece that is... could even be cheaper. good condition great way to save money on shipping.
