I think the lesson learned here is to first not shop at some place that calls themselves "360 tuners"

I don't think they look bad on that color car. They beat the hell out of the giant yellow-orange bat signals that 92s came with. I had one smashed light on the car when I bought it and I wasn't about to pay hundreds of dollars for used 15 year old lights from another car.

$100 bought me the "Prelude" clones and I'm fine with it.



Plenty of luxury cars come with red/clear lighting in back. It's not like the blinkers don't light in yellow. If I had chopped up a few sets of stockers to achieve the same look it would be praised. Because this is clear instead of frosted plastic, it gets bashed.

Tough.

BTW, if anyone wants a drivers side stock 92 brake light assembly, $50 shipped and it's yours!

Plenty of luxury cars COME WITH red/clear lighting in the back - yes. But those make the SC look tacky - they're just the evolution of the "altezza" tail light fad that came and went. The same goes for the "Supra" style tail lights on the beige car above, and the ghettto projector multiple 194-bulb clear headlamps on eBay (available in chrome or black YAY!) But that's just my opinion. I'm not bashing - if I don't like something does that mean it's bashing?

So yeah. If you don't mind running $100 eBay specials, then don't get all upset if someone says they're ugly.

They're ugly.

Honestly, thos tails are soooooo much nice than the "supra" p.o.s. tails....thos things don't belong in 2005, I think we all had better sense than putting thos things on even back then!

I would leave the side markers alone black would not look good unless your planning to change the current color of you car.

We may have, but a bunch of Civic/Integra people didn't LOL

If you go on eBay right now, you could get a pair of OEM SC300 taillights for about $200. Granted they're used, but at least they're OEM... not some wanna-be Supra/Prelude looking things that have styling you'd usually see on some "ricer" Honda.
