I can't really judge what these eBay tail lights would look like actually on the car, (2g) . Anyone have any pics or any tips for what ones to get. I love the clear tail lamps but there to hard for me to find. Pics would be great
 
IMHO all of the "euro" and "altezza" tail lights look like trash. If you want something different, look for EDM tail lights, and there are some super rare clear lens lights that I believe are from the EDM cars as well.

The clear tail lights look very nice IMHO. I have a 3pc. set lying around that was never installed if you're interested.

I agree... Big ass exhaust + aftermarket lights looks like :barf: .... Nuff said... Better to stay classy then trashy! Stock lights are just fine for the DSM! :hellyeah: The EDM DSM Stock lights look sick. I saw a thread of them a while back! People said they were hard as hell to get... Also don't you need to change some wiring for them? :confused: I can't recall!
 
The old APC all-clears are all that I know of. I don't think these were produced past the 2000-2001 era.

They're actually illegal because they don't contain a red reflector, but I've never been bothered by state or local police one bit. There are a ton of cars on the road today with similar taillights- if anything ever arose I'd gladly show the judge that the lights clearly have a DOT stamp on them. ;)

I'm just gonna get the smoke film on stock ones. Spray on looks like shit, eBay looks ricey, and the clear ones are probably very expensive.

Spray on def does not look like shit. You just must not know how to paint. The common mistake children make is not clear coating than buffing after spraying the tint. Ive done several pairs and they come out looking glossier than stock.
I just sold a pair of clear tails for 150 without the center. Funny part is 95% of the people on this forum were under age 10 when they came out LOL.

That's a good deal you gave out, they usually go for 300$+ for a full set (sides + middle). I have a pair I look at and put on once in a blue moon, it's the car's sleek tails when she needs to impress :p

Ok question!!!!!

Does the Stock EDM DSM 2G Tail lights have a difference in the center?

Also I love the turn signals in the tailights on the EDM looks amazing! and stands out!

If they were sold here in CA I would come up on them! ** if I had the money :p ** haha

The clear lights are illegal I agree, but what about the front turn signals? The clear ones people put instead of the stock Amber colored ones? I have heard people get pulled over for them and people say they have never been bothered before.

I have thought about getting the corner lights clear, but said nah... Would match my clean headlights on my 2GA.

Why would you buy clear tail lights and then coat it? Doesn't that seem pointless to buy them?

I live in PA and they're required to be amber, got pulled over and fined and I almost snapped .... I painted mine flat black now.

To my knowledge the EDM center is the same as USDM. With clear corners, it's not illegal to have a clear lens, but if you have the clear lens you must have a bulb that illuminates amber. Most people don't though, because amber bulbs look ugly in the clear housing and the quicksilver (or whatever they're called) bulbs are a little pricey. The quicksilver bulbs are the ones that are clear when off, and light up amber, just for reference.
 
And I'm gonna tint my stock tail lights or buy clear ones and not tint them.

Is your stock center tinted?
