Does the 99-00 Ek HB tail-lights fit right in my 98 ek4 hb?? or do i have to do a lil modifying? They look like the would just fit right in, is there a lil difference in them?

 

they are exactly the same

 

direct swap

 

fits perfect....save that money and get a different upgrade...imo

 

You can always get red outs on ebay. If you feel like getting rid of the amber on your tailight.

But yeah its a direct bolt on.

 

You might have to buy some amber colored bulbs uless you want to have white blinkers. I had that problem in my 96 coupe when getting the newer tail lights. Should cost only a couple of bucks.

 

where can i get a tail ligt cover from

 

i'd rather spray the amber red or black, imo this looks better.

 

thanks guys for the info..well my driver side taillight has a quarter size chip in it. so i'm plannin on gettin the 99-00 tail-lights cuz they juss look a lil cleaner being red and white.


illusionz xx : i wouldnt mind just sprayin the amber, red. that'll look pretty nice too. what paint would u recommend for that?

 

VHT Niteshades have a tint, and the 99-00 taillights are MUCH better! You should get amber signals b/c it looks better than white ones but it's also the law!

Red/White/Amber are acceptable for blinkers.

White is not acceptable. You have to put amber bulbs inside your clear reflector housing.

 

i like the 99-00 tail lights..they look so much cleaner. but i might just get a set of 96-98 tailights and paint the amber, red. since the 96-98 tail lights r cheaper.

 

I was hesitant about painting the amber corners on my tailights so I opted for this method instead. They work great, ive had them on for over 2 years and they are NOT noticeable at all. They are very weather resistant (Canadian Winter tested 2 yrs running) and imo look alot better than the amber (maybe not as nice as EK9 models).

I used to have a set of those, they did hold up quite nicely. They're still holding up on the hatch of the guy I sold my tail lights to.

 

damn thats hOT *** HELL! i'ma get some. but i'm just gonna do the amber part. imo doin the reverse part is too much.

 

Hmm...I got pulled over for having white blinkers. The lady was a douche and she tried writing me up for a lot of other things.
Cop"I see you tinted your windows."
Me"Yup"
Cop"I don't have my tint gauge on me right now but you should stop into the station so we can check that out"

She didn't even give me a fix-it ticket.....Still got the white bulbs in and I haven't been pulled over since. Its been 2 years.

 

Yeah the reverse light is NOT to be covered. That defeats its purpose and IMO is way dumb.

My bad, you're all Americans

Only thing it says through us is any three are acceptable and anything other than the three are unacceptable - as far as I know.

A LOT of cars have white blinkers around here, I've had cops follow me and never gave two *****. I am trying to think if there are any stock cars that come white, I am almost sure there are but I can't think of it off of the top of my head.

Not in New York... Red bulbs through a clear lens will net a ticket as will white bulbs. For turn signals to be red and legal, they need to be through a red lens/reflector.

Wow really? None of that goes on that I have heard of around here. Hell, some people run blue/white blinkers and no one says anything.

Yet anyways
