I dont believe they make aftermarket taillights for the talon.

Re: I hate factory Taillights Help

I don't think they make aftermarket taillights for the Talon either, and if they do then they must be extremley rare.
But I'm pretty sure they don't. I believe the only way you can get aftermarket taillights on the Talon is to convert the
rear bumper to an Eclipse rear bumper and of course use aftermarket Eclipse taillights.

Just keep them stock, they look a lot better than any aftermarket taillights out there.

Re: I hate factory Taillights Help

Killa don't hate. The talon factory taillights are not even close to as nice as the eclipse ones, so I don't blame him for wanting to upgrade.

I don't think I've ever seen aftermarkets for them though. You'll have to do the conversion if you want something else or fabricate your own.

They don't make them.

I think the Talon lights are kinda sexy. I used to hate them, but I've seen some cool modifications done to some, and they're really starting to grow on me. But they'll still never be as sexy as the Eclipse tails with the center painted to match the car.

Re: I hate factory Taillights Help

I think instead of painting them to match the car, if you can light them to match the rest that would be even more badass..

I've seen a write-up on how to do that, but it seemed like more hassle than it's worth.

Are you kidding? The 2gb talon looks 100 times better than the eclipse any day of the week.

Either do a conversion to eclipse lights so you can buy those altezzas youve always wanted, or smoke yours.

Either option wouldnt look good.

I agree, Altezzas are gay and depending on the car smoking might look gay as well.

2gb talon? What's the difference between the tails of the 2ga and the 2gb? They look the same to me man, and are still not as nice as the eclipse ones. But it's preference I guess...just that most people would disagree with you.

I was talking about the car in its entirety. The majority of dsm'ers I know are sick of the 2gb look. I guess it just depends on the dsmers in the area.

You obviously haven't been around the forums long then. The 2gb body is the cream of the crop around here yo I'd say atleast 80% would rather have it over any other style. But keep on truckin' man, nothin wrong with liking the 2g talon.
