I just bought a set of round tail lights off this kid and was wondering how i know if they are real or just converted into japaneese spec tails.

 

why does it matter? if they look correct and you didnt pay the price for real ones then i wouldnt care.

 

I paid $250 but it would be nice to know.

 

i think the real ones have raised up (or out) plastic circles where the round sections of the interior of the light is. i'm not 100%, but i seem to remember that from a previous post. in any event, i'm pretty sure there is a difference in the lenses.

 

Kinda like knowing if your girls **** are real. same ****

 

Yep. I have the '96+ JDM taillights, and if you look closely, the lens circles protrude just slightly, maybe a couple millimeters or so. With the mask and paint job, they will be flat.

 

they also have a raised ridge on the US spec 95, but i say if you cant tekk then you got what you paid for

 

Normally it would be smart to find this out before paying...

 

SpeedKing can you post a close up picture.

 

I started a thread on this:

Jeeezzz, you can barely see the round at all.....only on the amber side

 

The camera does not capture it well, you can see it a *little* better in person. The red has it also, but yeah it is really hard to see.

 

Sorry for the huge pic, but shrinking it causes it to lose what little detail there is. As I mentioned above, the lens of the circles on the '96+ JDM taillights protrudes maybe a few millimeters, and none of the pictures I took really capture it, however, it can be easily seen with the naked eye. Where I circled is the edge of the lens circle and the flash is reflected in it.

 

I was still gonna get them anyway even if they werent real cause i needed a tail light anyway

 

i could kinda see an edge on them.
