Default Bored with clear tail lights

First off, I am aware that they do not look good on my car! I picked them up a while ago, got bored today and wanted to see what they looked like on my project car. They are still in the original box and still have plastic wrap on them. I didn't want to screw them in and mess them up. This is more of a mock set up just for laughs. They are back in the closet for a LONG TIME. Hhaha.
(Don't mention the faded cf trunk )

If you're looking to get rid them, list them up for sale in the classified forum. I'm sure there is someone willing to take them off your hands.

Thanks for the advice man, but I think I'll hold on to them for a little bit longer

I kinda agree. I think they can look good on certain cars. (My car not being one of them) hahaha

Hmm, maybe you're getting these confused with altezzas?

Perhaps tinting a certain part of it can make those clears work.
This guy executed it well in my opinion and went with some M3 style:

Nice! Your account says 2007, but if you own those you must have been into Hondas since the late 90s!

I've been into cars since I could walk haha. And I got into Honda's back in High School. Actually, the EG I put those tail lights on is my first car. Glad to still have it!

And it seems like people are getting these clear lights and aftermarket altezzas confused with each other?

Oem Amber sticks out more. Its More attracting. Everything else falls short.

With a theme it will look better. (Clear side markers, fog lights and tail lights would look eeeh okay)

Found a set on craigslist for $50 bucks. Not really going to keep them on, just for fun. My buddy said my car looks like a blind Ninja Turtle :/
