i want to buy some 99 tails that a guy from new zealand has for sale. he sent me pics and they good but how can you tell if they are reall 99's or not.

 

On the real ones, the actual circles buldge out a little.

 

those are real 99 tails u got there

 

 

i thought on the non 99 spec, they also have a little bulge already. i was told that the older ones have a sort of flat black or faded black on the non 99 specs on the outer edge, while the 99 specs have a shiny black to em. not to sure...

 

Not true. Mine are from a 94 and the circles were bulged out BUT not blacked out. So I blacked them out using spray paint using the same size of the circles that were bugled and no one can tell they're not 99...

 

i had a post on this about a week ago
but yeah...those lights in the pic you got are real deal 99 spec lights
same thing as mine

 

i want some....

 

No DOT markings ?

 

when they're lit up, you can def tell for sure..

depending on who did the coversion of course

 

how do you figure??? i can do a conversion that you cannot even tell when its next to the real ones! but it takes very very long though! and nobody wants to pay for it

 

well thats why i said it depends on the coverter..but in daylight, its hard to tell, at night when they are lit up, you can tell by the way they're lit..hard to explain, someone post a pic of litted converted ones and ill post a pic of my real ones lit..

 

Anyone else wanna take a stab at it?

Is there an actual way to tell?

 

Looks like the real deal to me.

BTW, I posted a pic of my JDM lights on this thread (scroll halfway down the page), and you can definitely see an "edge" on the circles:
