Default Carbon Filter Tail Light

I know this is probably a stupid question. But what is the difference between carbon fiber tail light lenses and regular tail lights.

I dont think there is such a thing as a "carbon fiber tailight lens." However there are "carbon fiber tailights" All that means is that the housing on the inside is carbon fiber, basically everything around the bulbs.

Thanks for reply,

Is there a difference is the strength of the lenses. Cause I think my factory lense is stronger than the tail lights I bought. I am just wondering if all lenses are the same strength.

Probably not the same, but close to it. How much were the carbon fibers if you dont mind me asking?

The carbon fiber that I found are about the same as on without. I think about 67 dollars for tail light assembly.

Well, to tell you the truth i can't vouch for aftermarket tails, or headlights for that matter, as i am rockin stockers. But i'm sure someone will be along soon to help you out a little more. All i can say is that with these types of things, you get what you pay for.

Hi mate, I have seen carbon look tails but I doubt very much there are actual carbon housing tails. I think they will look good on your white civic. IMO white is the only colour that goes with carbon.
