    Replacement Tail Lights

    Well due to a little fubar(...Okay I backed into a Jimmy) I have to replace the driverside tail light on the blue accord.
    Thing is If I can get two new ones for a decent price I may just replace both.

    Has anybody ever bought a set of the Red and Clear Altezza tail lights?

    I agree, Very Rice-y. But, maybe tint them i don't know, it might help. It is your car though man, so you have to do what you think looks best. At the end of the day you have to live to with the car.

    It's not mine. I got the red accord. Mom has the blue one.

    I am looking at them cause it's two tail lights for $33. Meanwhile everybody else seems to sale the factory ones for $33 for a single one.

    For a few reasons: the trunk lid themselves are not the same shape or size, the tail lights are a good inch shorter (height-wise), and the center lights are completely different, too.

    Re: Replacement Tail Lights

    did you read the post directly below yours? there are no aftermarket tails made for the hatch,as far as I know there never have been. You have to get a set from a junkyard and refurbish them, they are even hard to find in the yard. You take out all the electrical on the light, then soak it in a big pot of hot, not boiling ,water, soak it, then you carefully pry off the outer cover. pry a little, soak,then pry, etc. Be careful not to crack the cover, the water softens the mastic on the insde and outside of the light so you can pry out the cover
