i just bought a set of tail lights on ebay for a grand total of 333.98 for the jdm round style rx tail lights do you guys think i got ripped of or i got a deal. here are a couple pics.

 

There are no such things as JDM tail lights - their identical to USDM S5 tail lights.

They definitely don't look 'stock'. A screen has been removed I think (makes them more see-through and much brighter when on). I think they look better that way at night.

A bit pricey, you can get a decent set of S5 tail lights for ~$200. However, yours look perfect. Dont feel ripped off.

 

yeah they're stock but with the rippled lens removed

 

i just bought mine and since it was local i picked them up myself 200 was my max

did you buy those from a guy in washington?

 

those lights are nice!!!! how can i do that to my s5 lights i gotta take them apart right! dam i think u got ripped 333.98??? i dunno to me them seem to pricey. nice tho

 

lol

 

thouse are my old tail lights, i can tell buy the black, i had erikseven do it to them

 

John... Honda powah!

 

you got owned with that price, *ripped off* find the lense and put it back in then you'll have some nice taillights. If you took your time you could have found them for $150.

 

s5 taillights are getting way overpriced, .....but hey if you wanna spend a couple of hundreds on taillights, thats your choice. I rather go to the junkyard & pick a set of s4 taillights in good shape for $15.

 

Wow, you guys must be finding these cheap somewhere. I payed a little over 700 bucks for mine.

 

Oh wait, that was the total price of my car with a blown engine. My bad.

 

yeah, you could have bought a whole S5 car with tail lights in it for that.

 

ouch! expensive!

i got two set of s5 tails for 650...
and they came with complete cars!

 

About 3 or 4 years ago, a man holding a set of clean s5 tails was *guaranteed* $200-225 plus shipping, no doubt about it, it would be less than a week before they sold. IT seems that as time has went on the price has gone down, from a seller's perspective. The last set I had for sale, probably a year ago or more, would *barely* bring $135. I was seeing some sets sold for $110 because they just wouldn't sell.

Perhaps the price went back up in the last few months, but I figured teh market got flooded by the japanese people selling them to US customers, and also by the increasing number of cars being parted out in the US as they get damaged or too far gone to repair.

 

i been looking for a set for a while. and where im at rx-7 parts are hard to come buy, i been to every junk yard with in 70 miles and nothing not a single 2nd gen rx. the one place i did find is in columbus, ohio called you wrench it but they wanted 200 for the lights. i acturaly paid 230.38 for the tail light had to pay 100.oo bucks for shipment from japan. but i really like them so i dont feel ripped off as much as i did last night. its all good my racing seats come today and i cant wait. also does any one have a turboII engine stripped down no air pump no power stearing no altanator no water pump no A/C just the block and rotors and eshaft. thanks

 

Its not whether anyone else feels you were ripped off or paid too much its whether the money you spent was worth it to you.

Which it seems like you you do feel it was worth so enjoy your purchase man.

 

I just picked up a set of new in box(!) taillights for my 86 for $125.

They're the S4 rectangle style, but that's fine with me - I actually like 'em that way

 

Yeah 300 seems steep...but if you include the labor and the extra stuff done to it it aint too bad.

 

WOOT! That's pretty damn good man.

these are cool, anyone have these?

 

I got mine for a deal, and are almost in perfect condition. $50 bucks.

 

*ricer*

 

I believe it's a ripoff. Almost a scam You thought you were getting JDM spec (like it would even ******* matter) tail lights. They are the same. And even if they weren't, they are just tail lights!
