    Aftermarket Rear Tail Lights for 3g Accords ?

    Ok, I am sure this has been on here somewhere but I haven't seen a post for it and I read someone somewhere saying there are no aftermarket taillights for our 3g accords, please say it ain't so. The question I have is, are there tail lights from other cars that will fight right on or can we use the internal bulb set-up from other cars and stick with the covers so we can at least get some kind of upgrade for our tail lights ? The stock ones are kinda boring in my opinion and I am just trying to get some ideas. I am sticking with the front pop up lights, call me coocoo for cocopuffs but I like em. Anyway peace, love, and keep it 3g.

    Anything you want to do for your taillights will be custom. No one makes any taillights for our car and I don't know of any other tails that would fit without some kind of modification.
    No projects. Life consumes my time and money.

    (cries) that sucks, but I guess I'm gonna have to learn to custom some stuff. What's VHT NIGHTSHADE, I want to look into that, I am assuming it's tinting the lights somehow.

    Yes, it's tint, don't do anything else with your tailights to make them gay.

    popups are one of the reasons to keep 3g's IMO. There are no altezzaz for our cars if thats what you're looking for. Clears are about as cool as parachute pants. There are a few members who have customized their tails in different ways.

    a couple members that i can think of off the top of my head are a20a1, marioburke and soljaboy2000

    lol, I wouldn't try cutting anything out of the body or whatever, I agree it'd ruin the appearence. Can you tell me where I can find the info on the VHT NIGHTSHADE, I want to look into that. Thanks.

    They are about 12 shipped each. You'll need at least 2 for the front lights, and maybe 3 for the rears.

    its possibly an altezza from a 4g... they look a lot like 3g tails and can be retrofitted.
