I was looking at my tail lights and the tail lights from Phat_99CeliGT in his how-to and I think they're different. If people can post pics of stock hatch tail light that would be great

Phat painted his tail lights red. You can do it your self. And there are also two other different japanese tail lights for hatchbacks.

Japanese Version 2 its the most popular of the japanese tail lights

I'm not talking about JDM tail lights. There is structural differences.

Talking about these?

yes, see how the lens in one piece. mine is 3 seperate pieces. Can people do me a favour and just post stock USDM tail light for different years if they have.

But sorry to say that i dont know what the single piece ones are

ok, back with pics, becuase this thread is annoying me...

(thank you random people for donating pics of your cars >>)

COUPE/CONVERTIBLE: like i said, one kind of tail light. lloks like this

HATCHS: they have a different kind of tail light. it looks like this:

now thats the basics.... you can spice up your tails by painting them, etc...
a painted COUPE\VERT tail might look like this:

all they did was paint a dark color over the amber/red part of the stock coupe tail. another popular choice is instead of "smoking" them, is painting them red, so your whole tail light is red.

now the HATCH tails, spice things up alot. you can get the JDM tails, which look exactly the same, but that amber piece is on the corner is clear, instead of amber. a pretty pointless mod for around $250 if you ask me. now if your talented, you can take the base, and make your own custom lights, like phat_celi did... his looked like this:

notice the structure is the same, he just made a custom lense for it.

this should clear up any confusion people have....

wow.... i cant believe i did a whole right up about tail lights >>

Thanx celicarocker. I was confused because I thought he was just breaking up the red and yellow from the inside and leaving the lens. I've heard this is a way some tail light can be done. It all makes sense....
