only your eyes can determine whether something is visually appealing to you or not. What you seem to be asking us is "will other people think I am cool"

EDM > Stock 04-05 > stock 01-03 > Any aftermarket taillights

But like he said, only u can decide wat u like. That is my preference list tho.

my tail lights on my 03 look pretty cool. I think the ones with that big circle in them are hideous though. I believe they come on the 01's

do you have a sedan or a coupe? IMO i think black taillights are ricey and can be very unsafe... car behind you will barely be able to see when you brake... but hey, whatever floats your boat

Will the '02 - '05 tailights fit on the '01 (sedan models) without having to chage the trunk or fenders or bumper? I don't really know so input is greatly appreciated.

thanks

yup its a perfect fit, but I think rewiring is required for the 03-05 tailights... correct me if im wrong, not too sure

I must admit, i'm not really a big fan of those either to be honest. But they're a million times better than aftermarket *****! I'd rather have the USDM 01-03's than those...


...just my 2p's...

Sweet, so the only mod might be rewiring? The reason I ask is because My dad bought my car at an auction and I had no choice what car he picked, just that it was small and either a Honda or Toyota. Anyway He picked a champange colored ES1, with ricered tailights, IMO they look G@Y and I want the stock taillights back ON! I like the '05 and '04 tailights but don't really care what year jsut that its stock. However is there a link or DIY for this mod if anybody has done it?

Thanks, and BTW I am paying my dad back for the car. And Yes I am very lucky to have great parents and a great life.

Since you have a Sedan, you won't need to re-wire anything. It's only if you've got the Coupe that you would.

Here's what the 2004-2005 tail lights look like.

So I could just find some '04-'05 taillights, take my old ones off install the new ones with NO modifications and just plug the wires together? If so SWEET!
That will make me the happies person for the day! Now all I gotta do is find some stock taillights for a good price.

If you have a Sedan (4-door), then yes it is Plug and Play. You should be able to just unbolt the aftermarket ones and bolt up the OEM's.

I prefer the 01-03, when compared to the 04-05, but it's all opinion.

You might want to edit your signature to say ES1 instead of EM2 then, bud. Just a thought.
