Just Installed my Si Tail Lights =)
I got these on ebay for 70 bucks. I just put em on right now. What u guys think?
My civic is a 98 Ex, so i just ordered the Si tail lights for it.....i thought it looked better.
These are the old aftermarket ones i had:

RE: Just Installed my Si Tail Lights =)
looks ALOT BETER than those euros!!!!!!!
tho i like mine spray tinted
only two issues... during the day if the suns to the back on a bright day the tails can verly been seen
BUT at night or cloudy days no issues!
and second issue is my backup lights are crap now.LMFAO
BUT i plan on sanding off the tint over the clear lower sections and that should be good to see behind me again... and it might look beter with that clear section....
i still gotta think of some ideas or if i should do some kinda design on them also....
but anyways if the tails aint perfect condition on the lense its EASY TO shine right back up to new! just use some realy fine sandpaper... like 2000 grit and lightly sand with alot of water... and once any deep scratches are removed just bust out some fine rubbing compound and buff away at it... and simply slap alittle clear wax over them... i sanded mine twice and each time youd never know they had any scratches or scuffs on them

DITO... they might not be legal BUT i myself have had mine done for about2months now id say.... been pulled over twice for BS reasons and they didnt even say anything about them.... BUT like most people they will tell you IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE COP AND HIS MOOD.......
BUT if they try ticketing me or fix it ticket... its just a simple sandpaper and 1/2hour away from puting them back good as new.

FYI they aren't really "Si" tails, all the 99-00 coupes had them.
they look way better than the other ones

decided to sell the parts. He had Si cluster, wheels..ect. ect. =)
Uhh, also, my civic is a 98........dont all 98 Si's come with Red/White tails? Unlike the other 98's that have orange/red.
