how much?

 

installed pics please

 

look purdy good....same questions( how much, and any installed pics)

 

Lets see how they look lit up

 

Ramy, you can send those along with the new hatch struts and I'll be glad to test fit'em for ya.

 

not a center with clear lens?
Looks god imo

 

Hmm, those don't look bad at all. It looks like you could even paint the black part to match your body.

 

interesting design

 

Personally, I don't care for the visual aspect of the taillights.

IMO, it will REALLY give the FD a dated/cheapened look.
It kinda resembles those old school cutouts used to lay on top of brake lights...circa early 90s (which I some times still see today).

The normal FD and 99 spec brake lights leave the car w/ a more modern look. Just look at the current Mercedes taillights. More and more cars are coming out w/ as much "clear" plastic on top, and either the use of red bulbs or red plastic underneath.

 

You could avoid the dated cutout look by painting the black to match your body. As for the normal FD and 99 spec tail lights looking modern, I beg to differ. You don't see many taillights nowadays that are all black like the normal ones are. I do see your point about the red and yellow, maybe if the actual lens over the lights was clear instead of colored it would look better, but I don't think you can do much to make the FDs taillights look less 90s other than sending them to these guys and spending a grip:

Sending it to Mike w/ ClearCorners? (I've known him for years). The guy definitely does a great job. No complaints w/ that.

But painting the tailight? I dunno. Still undecided about that. One forum member did that w/ his car...it came out pretty good. But painting it w/ the 99spec circles...I dunno...

 

Lookin good Ramy,

want to ship them to me and I'll get some installed pics?

LED's?? It looks like your suppose to stick a regular bulb on the signals.

 

Man, if I knew the guys at ClearCorners, I'd be asking for a hook up to do the lights. Their work is AMAZING. Their work on headlights is awesome. I've recently seen an Aston Martin Vantage at night and the Clearcorners headlights look just as good.

 

not a fan.. meh

 

Not bad, def. better than some of the other options you've posted before.

 

Pretty cool lookin. Reminds me of TVRs or some euro car.

 

Ya..they dont look bad at all, they're better then the other ****. I think if I had all kinds of extra money 2 throw around I'd try em out. Price ramy??

 

wooooowww.....sorry to say but i hope they show up on ebay...iu want some

 

there are already LED tails on ebay, I'm not sure if they look quite like that though.

 

yea the one thats on ebay are like altezza too flasshy for my likes

 

wise sports?

 

looks great are they brand new or used? price and other ics will be nice.

 

I'm going to go ahead and come on in and rain on everybody's bad taste parade once again:

Painted (body colored) FD tailights look like ***. Cleared out FD tailights look like double ***.

The tailights are the best and most unique design feature of the car, and make the back end look great... a place where alot of car designers screw the pooch (see: C5 corvette). The OE, and '99's look great, no need to change them.

As far as these LED versions, i'll withold judgement until I see them on a car, but I am dissapointed by how they look like an opaque black plastic cover with three holes drilled in it for the lights, instead of three lights under a smoked plastic cover the way the factory lights are. I've love LED's, but I think I'd prefer them in housings like the OE rather than this style.
