I have gotten mixed feelings about my taillights.. people either love them or make fun of them..








should I keep them.. get stock 00/01 SE tails or 2k2 tails?

I like'em. Kinda unique. They look hot with the stock red sidemarkers. If you plan on getting clear sidemarkers, then swith to the stock SE tails. Peace_

I think you should get the stock SE tails. That just doesn't look right.

there isn't one already
although it lights up pretty white..


To those asking what these tails originally were.. they are 2k\2k1 GXE\GLE tails with the white turn signal part painted red and the reverse light painted red.. red/out look... and then there is black vinyl surrounding the tails a little bit around the edges..

I didn't actually do this, i bought the car this way

i can't turn these into stock tails anymore, the bottom turn signal part is red, so is the reverse..
anyone want to trade? or sell me some stock 2k/2k1 SE tails?

I think if you keep them, you should tint them. That would look real good.

They look cool to me. I can't imagine them looking that good on any car that's not black.

I think the stock SE tails look the best. But those aren't bad by any means, they could just use a real white reverse light.

I think they look tight on your car, and 100% unique. Up close, they don't look quite as good, but that's with any taillights that are painted on the outside.

Honestly, i think that they alook alot better in person. I think it matches perfect. Not only that but its unique. Especially with the ae headlights, looks hot... keep them.

I like them. The worst part about the looks of the 5th gen is the horrible tails. Something has to be done to make them look better. I'm not saying they look great but change is good no matter what its form.

yeah, i agree that up close they aren't that great looking.. they are painted from the inside though.. but the paint is a slightly different shade at certain angles.. but from a distance the painted part matches pretty good..

I am thinking of maybe getting the stock tails and smoking the top red part.. and leaving the clear.. then getting the clear sidemarker in the rear.. my headlights are blacked out on the inside too, might aswell just go with the whole blackout theme..
