DIY, save the $$ and get more satisfaction! Besides, the stock tails are much better quality than aftermarket shyt.

Well, I just finished... such a *****, i used a solder gun. And on both of them i somehow managed to poke a hole through the first layer of the outside clear part but luckily not through the second layer... so it looks like ass when your within 5 feet and looking for it but otherwise its cool. Now I just need to get some amber bulbs for them to get rid of my "rice" look... btw i now use xenon in fronts. New pics soon!

Maybe get some black transparent paint to spray on the middle bar to hide the mistakes a little. I had some shavings on the inside that were visible but the paint helped a lot and looks really good also. Clean off, mask off red parts, and spray like however many coats you want lightly. Follow with clear coat. If you want to do this; it'd probably help a little. Good job ditching the Altezzas.

Yeah I was and still am kind of considering some of those S-Type lights but who knows... I kinda like my stock haha. My car is really dark green... almost black. And PooBoi I like that quote too... I didn't take them off because of what others say... I just got bored of them. Anyways sure I'll sell them for $20, they are in perfect condition. And I'll go find out the shipping price today but most likely it will be like $30 shipped... Sound OK? E-Mail me at bwargle@mysun.com when you get a chance or just post on forum if you can't email.

personally on the 94-95 all the tails really look bad because of the design of our tails. i have two sets of tails at home the stock ones and half red/clears. i rather my stockers any day over the half red/clears cuz they add to my trunk conversion (which i'm about to sell) the s-type look good as well but those are played out too... IMO you want some nice looking tails do a conversion

Why the hell should "played out" matter to anyone anyways? If you didn't get them just because everyone else has them and you actually like how they look then there's no reason not to have them....
