These are hella cheap and still look better than 04 tails. Gonna do the ebay replica CTR headlights, CF Hood, and Black Rims so wanted something darker to match. It would be cheaper than 02-03 lights, but I don't wanna be ricey.

They actually look like some black housing 04-05 tails when you think about it. I'm curious what they would look like installed on the car. Imo though. I'd rather spend money on depo headlights or ctr headlights since that would make a bigger improvement in the looks of the car.

I'm going to get the Depo headlights too. These would go along with them to match a black and blue theme for the car. These tails are only like $50.00 and are plug and play, supposedly.

I just found these and they look less rice, but are not black housed. Still just $50.00

yes/yes

usually considered ugly, they only appear on cars with large neon bodykits. :sad:

but those euros are hella clean... there were some LED's that were around a while ago which were amazing, but they are now nowhere to be found.

LOL, I was afraid so. I think I'm digging the Red/Clear Euro's because it's a good price. Cheaper than going 02-03 and less hassle. I just can't stand the yellow on my 04 taillights.

If you look at your stock 04 taillights, you'll see that there is a plastic divider between the red and chrome parts. Those second taillights you posted don't have separators, and there's red spilling all over into the chrome part. something to consider.

Doh, good eye. I think that's why they are $50.00.

have you considered just buying stock 02-03 from honda, they are $77 each from www.hondaautomotiveparts.com

140 for new stock...id consider it...100 less than what 02-03ctrs are going for on here...

sure they arent CHEAP but you get what you pay for, CHEAP

I would think that whatever parts that someone might think it's rice, it probably is.

I usually don't like anything that has the word Altezza in it's description but they actually don't look to bad. The euros look ok as well, I just worry about the overall quality and longevity of a ebay product.

I paid 94shipped for my 02-03 ctr tail lights with all bulbs/sockets/gaskets included in mint condition.

SOmething to think bout. Just have to be patient

I actually was looking into those. I'm not sure how they'd look once they were on but I feel it would look some what similar to the FG and Fit tail lights.

and for $50 if I ended up not liking them I won't feel too bad as if I had spent ~300 or w/e

I have these on my car. they look very clean and stock. the red doesn't bleed into the clear like in the pic.
i'll try to get a pic for you.

people on this site think everything thats not jdm is rice.so go with what you like and dont worry about them.

I would stick with tails and headlights made by Honda. It's your choice though.

I have aftermarket tails and I like them. Everyone should already know not to ask questions like that around here from fear of upsetting the JDM gods and their acolytes.

Seriously Honda taillights are just as cheap as the ebay ones, so get the ones you like. As the other gentleman said, he has them and they don't bleed. I think those look pretty good, and they aren't so "ricey" now that the newer cars sport them.

I'm waiting for used handkerchiefs to come in JDM so it can be all the rage here. "Dude...where's your hanky? WHAT, no hanky!? Get your ricer ass out of here you poser!"

i dont like them.. they seem to pop out too much on the top it kinda disturbs the flow. and i'm not a fan of the crome line in between it looks weird

the euros looks ok to me but i would stick to honda tails, just get the 02-3 tail lights. But then again w/e floats your boat, its your car so do what you like. No one else has a say.

Don't pay attention to what people think, it's what you like that matters. That's like asking people "hey, am i cool if I do this?". Dude grow some balls, who gives a fuck if it looks rice, as long as you like it.... then everyone can kiss your ass!

Look like you don't have anything in the turn signal part, fitment issues for the bulbs?

Looks clean and nice to me. I'm gonna consider these for sure until next Friday, thanks.

Eh, just thought I'd get others opinions. I would always do what I want, but a general consensus never hurt.

yeah they are made for the 04-05. i've got an 02 so i dont have the extra bulb and the sockets are a little different. i didnt know it when i bought them so i've got to get the 04-05 stuff.

What the origin of said tail lights?

I'm one of the few looking specifically for amber turn lights in the rear so that nubtards can see me signalling a lane change better.
