Anyone has these taillights on their car, wanted to know if any mods were need to install these taillights, also i've been looking at pics and was wondering what the diff were from our 04-05 oem tails besides the red signals.

I have had them for about 6 years. They are pretty much plug and play, the only thing you really need to do is buy amber turn signal bulbs. The break lights are at the top, reverse lights stay the same, the blinkers are now on the edge of the tail and the bottom is blank expect for the left tail where it is a reverse fog light. Here are some pics to get an idea. This is only the left tail with the reverse fog light the right tail the bottom is blank

Yeah i do have it wired up. you have to get a blinker arm from an odyssey or a honda fit. The CTR blinker arms do not work because the fog light switch on a CTR arm is a momentary switch, the honda fit or odyssey swtiches have a regular toggle switch. So to get the rear fog working you need a fit or odyssey blinker arm, some wire, a relay, 2 pins to plug into the new blinker arm, and an extra blinker socket for the reverse fog light.

If you didnt care about switching it on and off all the time, couldn't you just get a connector+pig tail from the odyssey and wire it directly to your rear bumber light wires (assuming you have a CTR rear to pair up with the tails, of course)? I also have these tails, the fog is installed, but in the 3 years I have had them I never wired up the rear fog. I assume you could do it this way, correct?

Well if you don't care about the switch and wouldn't mind if it was always on whenever the parking lights were on yes you could just wire it to the bumper lights

Didn't want to make a new thread over the same subject..
Is there anything needed or needed to mod if a 02-03 went to 02-03 EDM/JDM taillights. (not talking about the fog light or whatever, just to have functioning 02-03 edm taillights)
