tail light fixing options

[89si]

i got em on ebay, and they were described as "new" but thats obviously bullshit cuz of the crack and one of the screws had been broken off and then glued back on. the person claimed to not know much about them. i really wanted some clears, so i went for it cuz the pic looked good, but good ol ebay allows some bs to slip through.

so you never got coloured bulbs for your clear tails? im not sure if i follow you on that.

i didnt have them on long enough! i every other night i re colored them, i was planning on getting some colored ones but didnt keep them on long enough, i got the amber colored turning singal ones tho.

plus at night they were fucking pink! laame

yea man, thats why im getting these sweet led's they're monochromatic so the colour will always be solid red, and they're bright and they shoot the light straight out the back, so it'll look crazy.
but i gotta poo, back in a few.

hey, i just found an old pic with the lights installed and acually visible

nice, i like those tail lights best of all the aftermarket replacements.

too bad 4th gens dont get more to choose from. not to mention those clear ones are illegal now.. if my stock lights werent all cracked and worn out i'd keep em, but the clear ones also give a nice custom look. should be nice on white too i think.

what do you think of making the center piece white to match my car and then making a small white outline on the clear side lights?

i was also thinking of painting the center black and doing a black outline on the clear sides.

if only i could photoshop to see how it would look on my car....

[jhmcrx]

hmmm.. personaly i would rather make the center while and leave the side lights all clear

just my opinion tho

[89si]

chances are im just going to leave the clears, at least for a while.

should i be sealing them with something so they dont get moisture and crap in them? any tips from experience?

[jhmcrx]

just put some clear silicone stuff around the sides and you should be fine

[89si]

is that what you did? what stuff would you suggest exactly?

[jhmcrx]

my brother did when he got some aftermarket lights and they didnt leak..ill have to ask him brand tho

[89si]

cool, that would be awesome if you could find that out. im just not sure what will work and hold up for a long time cuz i dont want it to look bad or wear out.

thanks man
