Default Tail lights..

Those (above) are nice, but they're almost identical to the stock (pre-2001) tail lights. These are the ones that I'm looking for:

Call Rodney at MAS wheeelhouse
He has about 4 pairs the last I checked. I think he is selling them for 400.00 or 420.00. Give him a call if you want to order them.

Default Oh well..

I called Rodney. He has the red/clear lights (it's a stock light with a clear turn light). Price is $400 with exchange (you need to send him your stock lights).

No all-clear lights. I'm still looking..

that's what I thought.

400 bucks, around 45000 jap YEN in Japan can get you those center-cleared ones too but they're also EXCHANGE ones. New ones cost twice as much.

IMO all clear is not good looking at all.......... I see 5th gen Civics with those....... sorry

Actually, I just posted this to gauge what the demand was for these lights...I guess I'll consider getting them imported.

As for the all clear lights, sorry, I won't take part in the "ricerization" of a GS!

I'll get prices as soon as possible...until then, I say hit up Rodney and get 'em...

Default All-clear..

To be honest with you, I think the all-clear light is the best looking one, barring the Altezza-looking (clear with a red center) tail lights. Whether Civics or Accords have these or not, I really don't care. In retrospect, all cars have tail lights, red or clear, wheels, bumpers, et al. Stock Civics have red tail lights. So do GS400s. Based on that train of thought, I shouldn't use the stock lights ones because Civics have them? Same applies to the all-clear lights. I just love the look. Imagine how awesome would a dark GS look with clear tail lights? I mean all of them, including the little circular ones, not just the corner assemblies (as in the photo I posted)..

In either case, for $400 this mod ain't worth it.

$400 dollars? Yikes... totally not worth it. I think the price for the 2001 taillights from Steve @ Carsons was like $300 right? I think those are a lot classier. Clear ones are pretty ugly to me... it's actually even played out on Civics/Integras. I don't like the idea that it's the stock one with the turn signal cleared out, I would rather pay 9 bucks and get the red film upgrade. That looks better too. But thats my two cents....

Can someone confirm the 2001 Tailights for $300 bucks from Carsons?

Love the look, but like everyone else, I think it is much too expensive, especially for exchange.

I think I'll be going with the red film upgrade soon too, looks better than stock and costs barely anything!
