No, mine are just the stock bulbs, so they shine white/yellowish. I would like an amber light, but I dont' really want to see the amber color through the clear lens during the day. I've seen the silver painted amber bulbs, but I don't know how bright those would be.

I don't mind the red/pink, but I'll spring for some red/clears shortly.

hmmmm, I guess I'm the only one that likes the pink in the 98-00's........I would much rather have a 98-00 than the newer ones....the front looks better on it too.

I wish I the 01-02 taillights fit onto my 99. I agree, I like the front of the 98-00 front better. It's a little meaner looking.

Just get red/clear for your 99.

Yeah I need to ditch the Altezzas and get something that looks a lot cleaner. The tint would look pretty slick, and its relativly cheap, while the Red clears cost about $100. Do you Red Clear guys have to worry about moisture getting into the tails like I did with my cheap ass Altezzas?

All aftermarket lights aren't built that well. Sometimes you get moisture, and sometimes you don't. I would put some sealant on the tail light before you put it on.

The only exception to aftermarket that won't leak or where you have to worry about moisture is lights made by TYC. They make quality stuff and are 100% street legal.

i got aftermarket ambers because i thought the stock ones were too bright. Doesn't really show through at all





and i think if you are into modifying a car, 100 is pretty cheap
