I need a picture of a stock 87 Accord hatchback. I need to know if the taillights on mine are stock or some kind of crappy aftermarket ones like I think they are.

The sooner the better please, I am kind of in a hurry to get this drivable and back home. Right at the moment one of the sockets is burned out and I know that will cause me to fail the state safety inspection and thus never get it licensed. The problem is I have to drive it another 250+ miles before it is home and I can really mess with it. I bought some taillights for it but the poor guy behind the counter sold me sedan lights and not hatch lights. Of course this happened 250+ miles away so here I am with the wrong lights and no way to get my money back until I can get my new car back home.

By the way, based upon the pictures I got the taillights on my car actually are stock. They are also in bad shape.

This is the third 3G I have owned but it is the first hatch, there are going to be little things like this that make me crazy for a while until I fully adjust to my new car. By the way I have decided to name it "The Blue Bastard". I will explain more about that when I get it back home.

Edit: Cleaned up this post and explained a little better why I needed the pic.

Maybe he has to pass inspection.

If it's just water in the lights that happens to most accord ligts after a while.

Thanks for the pics guys, you really helped me out.

There is water in the lights, but one of the sockets is burned out as well and as it is it will not pass inspection. I thought the car had some kind of fugly aftermarket lights because I have only owned sedans in the past and did not know any better, apparently they are the stock taillights.
