It's not just about getting from point A to point B anymore....

First thing you do is buy the chrome bulbs that blink amber...that makes em look real nice.

Don't forget to remove the amber lens >wink.gif>
is there ne way to remove the amber lense without cuttin into the tail lights?
yes and no. The best and safest way is to cut. You could do the "heat them in the oven then pry apart" way but that might warp, discolor, and burn them. the best thread I have seen to do this right is here

I might do it this summer to mine, IDK

To tell you guys the truth. I LIKE the orange bit. Especially on my car (Black)

do these lights work on the 96 convertable celica?
No. They are completely different. Look for Curren taillights for a vert.

on the curren lights is there any way of takin off the amber lens too?
I thought that the Curren lights had the clear strip anyway while the normal coupe lights had the amber strip?

ditto. I like how it blends in w/ the clear. Besides, nobody wants altezas on their car, now do they?

On Dark Color i would say let the orange bit in. On bright cars (Yellow, white, silver) removing it will look better.

But its an oppinion.

I think either way it looks great, though personally, (on a black car especially) if I had clears then I'd remove the amber lens for uniformity - Kevstir's car is a good example >biggrin.gif> Like Kadett said though, its a matter of personal preference.
how much would be too much too pay for these?
Got mine (Live in europe) for 240 euros, but they were new not Ebay ones.

Have these on my FOUR and it really does transform the rear.
US$190 shipped - that's a good price. Can get them from a 'local' Toyota dealership for around US$230 for a pair.
