I just bought some 92 tail for my 95 that has leaking problem for 50+ shipping and came with harnesses. Score.

The ''JDM'' ebay ones look alright other than the horrid reverse light shape/placement.

What would be really awesome is if you could get 95-96 tails with red on top and clear on the bottom. I would drop a ton of money for a set of those.

It would basically look like these except not as chromey and cheap.

Do you mean this?



Here's the thread:

IMO, cleared 95-96 taillights looks sporty/aggressive the most, while 97+ looks more classy/luxurious. The ebay tails reminds me of riced out Civics and 240sx's. I feel that retaining OEM aspect of the taillight preserves the Brand image/caliber of the car.

I'm an OEM guy myself, but I think the biggest concern is the quality of aftermarket lights. Back in my Honda days, I went through several sets of aftermarket headlights, taillights, and corners and ALL of them leaked.

Yes, those!

I love those tails. I want a set of those and brand new 97+ tails.

Yeah the more I think about it they do seem kinda cheap, and they probably would be real leaky haha. I'll probably just stick with my stock tails for a while lol

ehhhhh they are alright.
but yea like what other people have said... stick to lexus oem parts.

And please don't tint the tails! (or at least not dark) people here in ohio run with almost completely tinted out tails and you can never tell when they are braking and they are invisible at night. you are asking to get into an accident

I lost one of my OEM 95 tails to the oven trying to do that mod... then I replaced it with another mint 95 tail, and then swapped out to 97 tails.

I thought about doing this as well cuz I have 95 tails that have the bottom half tinted. But I decided that I would jus keep the stockies.
