Default Help with some tail lights?

I've been trying to find tail lights like this:


Or This:


But the last three times I've tried to order them for my EJ1 I get **** like this:



Each time I've ordered them and recieved them, I've lost between 30-50$ on returns, but I really want the tail lights. I've only ever seen them on hatches, is that all they're available for?

Difference between the two is the way the top clear portion of the lenses are shaped, I like the bubbled ones more. Also all of the ones that I've gotten like the second ones have been absolute sh** quality wise, two of the three wouldn't even line up correctly.

Could someone point me in the right direction for a store that for sure sells them like that for a 94 ex 2dr? Or if they don't exist then let me know, I'll just smoke out my OE ones.

They don't exist for coupes/sedans.

There are two possible ways you could do this...

1. Paint them yourself to look like the hatch tails.

2. Buy a hatch.

The first place I bought mine from was actually Dash-Z. The ones in the picture of me holding the lights are the ones from Dash-Z. They have thelights pictured like the hatch ones but I got the ones in my picture.

I was thinking about it randomtask, but I think I'd rather just smoke my OE tail lights instead of trying to paint the **** quality aftermarket ones.

I remember when I had my teal civic hatch back in 2000. The clear lenses were the deal so I bought them and sprayed em with red stained glass paint. It worked really well.
