Tail light opinion: Win or Fail?

[the_jaf]

I'm starting to work on a retrofit for headlights, and just thought about options for my headlights. Right now I just have smoked reverse overlays from Blue Batmobile. I did a search on Protege tailights and most of them are awful. I did find these ones though, I just want to know your opinions.

Here's a quick crappy photoshop on my car, the right one is messed up:

Just one mans opinion here... I absolutely hate those clear lights with a passion. I mean, to each his own, but seriously, it's way too ricer for me. I saw this dude with those on a true MSP, he also had neons underneath, rims which looked to be 20's, lambo door kit, a roof scoop and a few more tasteless mods.

My advice, tint. That's what I am trying to do.

I've seen the clear and chrome ones, I agree with you I hate them. These ones are darker. I'm kind of on the fence. My reverse are tinted already, simple looking mod.

I tried photoshopping those type of lights on my car but it didn't look right. I also have a spicy so not much is going to look right in the rear. Try these though.

I think it might look sick with your color.

I like em. looks alot better than the ones I have. I think mine are chrome maybe, been awhile since I have looked at my car. I hate them but they were a cheap replacement for my broken one

The only aftermarket tail lights I can stomach are the APC euros which I had on my car for 2 years. I'm back to stock tails now and I'm happier. Be careful with ebay lights, the quality isn't all there.

Where and how much did you get those for Orlando? I like those alot and I think they'd look good on the ole' Spicy.

 

[orlandomsp]

I got these a little over two years ago on ebay for a hundred shipped.

Edit: the lights wont light up like in the picture above, the owner probably removed the other two bulbs leaving only the top circle to light up when then the brakes are pressed.

I like those ones on the orange/yellow, I don't think I like them on blue though.

[orlandomsp]

Here they are on a laser blue.

P5 tail lights will not fit a sedan.

Heres mine with the chrome lights. I like it but not as much as i thought i would. But I personally cant stand the stock lights. Specially cause theres a POS hyunda that has practically the same lights and it really bothered me. theres another quick photoshop of what i want to do but i cant decide which tail light i like better or which emblem i like better.

 

[the_jaf]

My personal opinion is no to chrome on any colour. I don't really like the black/smoked with the clear reverse on the blue. The all smoked looks alright ii'm wondering if there is an actual picture out there with them on a blue.

 

[HondaNoMore]

stock tails for sure. those APC ones make the car look taller... interesting. no way jose to the euro style tails on a car that looks so good from teh factory already.

 

[Falango]

Those APC Euro ones are the only ones I could really bother to look at too. The stock ones suit the car, so I just put on BlueBatmobile overlays on mine.

 

[the_jaf]

I should show the original pic. These are also Blue Batmobile overlays. I'm thinking I might just leave it as is.

 

[AtenzaNY62]

edm's look beautiful.. but to me though, the ones in the op.. win only with a cf trunk

 

[TheDirtyGoatee]

I like the APC Euro's on the Orange. I don't know if I like the 03.5 wing on the 03. Just preference. I like the 03.5 wing just fine though.

The stock MSP lights have a little hint of pink in the lights too. I'll probably just keep them on mine.

 

[ND4MSP]

That's one of the better looking styles I've seen, but still too much cheese for me.

 

[the_jaf]

I'm sticking to my regular tail lights. I've now shifted more focus on my retrofit.
