Id personally go for OEM buddy, with ebay you always run the risk of poor fitment

and at the end of the day, is the scrimping really worth it??

I have them on my hatch. No problem as far as fitment goes. Check out my build to see what they look like.

I have a 93 Honda Del Sol SI.... And my girlfriend bought me a set of carbon fiber tail lights, and they fit beautiful! They look nice. I can take some pictures on a non rainy day for you. The only problem I had, is one of the bulbs didnt want to fit right. All I had to do was take a nail filer and file a very little. Notice I said nail file and not sand paper. Hope this helps

I don't favor them too much myself. I much prefer OEM over any other option.

oem is best because it ALWAYS FITS. i dont like the looks of aftermarket tail lights and also because of fitment issues.


nothing will fit as good as OEM

oem is better overall, but if you want 50/50 tails make sure your not paying any less than $80 for them... if not your buying cheap ****, and it will probably light up pink instead of red and have leaks.

I bought mine off ebay and didnt have any problems, but they got played out real fast and I got sick of em and changed em out for OEM..
