well those are beter aftermarket oem style at least.... but the stock OEM tails are from 99 and 00 civic coupes... thiers one set on ebay now BUT he wants way to much money for a chiped set of taillights!
just search for "OEM 99 civic tail lights (or) taillights" one word..
and most people say they are SI taillights.. so just do some different combos while searching.... ya never know when someone does a crapy listing that only says civic taillights... and those go cheaper cause not to many if anyone sees them cause thier search....
this is a ok price..... but preaty much the highest price you should pay for a good unchiped or broken set!
typical price for some OEM tails is 75-150bucks......

another thing is sugest is for the turn signal bulbs get some of those chromed over bulbs... or led bulbs... that way they look clear or shiny same as the backing in the headlights... cause you can kinda see the yellow glass from my turn signal bulbs thru the clear sections...

ya definatly dont buy it from the stealership.LOL
EBAY...... scratched up or scuffed used taillights are no problem to simply sand out and buffed back to a perfect shine!!!!
ya just dont want any chiped or cracked tails... well some chips can be excused if realy small...
but just keep an eye out on ebay... they pop up ALL THE TIME!!!!!!
like i said 75bucks up to 150 is the typical price for a good used set...
thiers always some that are higher and lower... but check out thier apreance....
thiers just 2 things to worry about... busted bolts and chiped corners... but i wouldnt go over 150bucks! at least myself i wouldnt go any higher!!!!!
and when ya get them and they arent perfect... easy cheap way to restore them.... take some 2,000grit sandpaper and lots of water as well and after ya got it all sanded and smoothed then get some fine rubbing compound and a rag and just hand buff the plastic back to a perfect shine!!!
ive sanded down my taillights a few times and each time alls it took was just afew mins of hand buffen and just as good as new!
