So, that ETAftermarket guy got me thinking what my car would look like with different tail lights. Which ones do you guys like better? I don't know how exactly I would accomplish the clear signals, but I have a couple ideas. As for smoking the lights, that much would be easy as pie.

How they are now:

I'm for cleared signals with the Clear Silverstar bulbs that give out amber when lit.

That looks great!

now you just need clear smoked front turn signals with amber leds!

Smoked would be easier I think (& look better IMO).

Euro tail lamps came smoked as standard.

I like stock. You have a car that's almost 20 years old. Why mess with Honda perfection?

You could buy these 'smoked' items. Dunno if genuine or repro but they're new & cheap. Major difference being that these are the type we have in the UK designed for countries that have longer license plates - black portion of each lamp is shorter. Will really complete the Euro look that you're wanting to achieve.
