Default Tail Lights

i am considering changing out the stock rear tailights... i like the look of the later models with the chrome trim around the lens , either that or some black out alteeza's will they fit my 92?? on ebay they pretty much only sell the 95-00 ones... will they fit my car with little to no modifications? any help would be appreciated.... also looking for the upper ball joints for the control arms... any ideas there ?? ?

i think those black ones are a jip.
u can make ur headlights black also. but with some work.
u have to open the headlight and then remove the chrome piece. then voila. its the same thing. i only kno this bcs my headlights got smashed and it looked similar to the ones on ebay..

this has been discussed several times. please seach for your answers. anyways

-the sc tail lights are all interchangeable with no mods. you will only experience a small "tail light out" indicator in the cluster and a hyper blink.

- you most likely need a new LCA because the ball joint is irreplaceable. or u can look under the suspension and brakes section where they have tried to solve the problem otherwise.

I know this was an honest mistake, But I still found it funny, since you took the time to get it highlighted and totally missed out on the spelling. LOL!

I think you should buy either some 95-96 tail lights and clear out the bottom part or just leave stock, or stock 97+ tail lights would be very nice and look slightly glossier to me because of the clear cover. I think the 95-96 has a red-colored outside cover on top (bottom is clear) and the 97+ has both a top and bottom clear cover. I think this makes the 97+ look a little glossier, and the chrome lining adds to it.

Altezza taillights will not fit on our cars, but 97+ SC OEM taillights do!
