Where can I get rear black fog lamp covers?

[NC99Eclipse]

get them I would be thankful!

Thanks

wait ... ###!? fog lights in the back !? what purpose does that serve !?

Did you mean to say that the white reverse lights were blacked out?

 

[NC99Eclipse]

Well considering the only ones I've seen on the net they were
reffered to as rear fog lamps. But yes,
blacked out reversal lights.

I'm sure he means the reverse lights. Odds are he did the tint his self.

Just search "light tint" on google.

Buy a can of VHT Nightshade tint from Amazon...like 10 bucks and it'll do all your tail lights if you want. Works awesome. My tail lights are tinted so you can see what it kinda looks like in my avatar picture.

Use VHT. Mine were done when I bought the car but I removed the VHT.

EDM cars come with rear fog lights! The EDM Tails that look just like the JDM Tails but aren't the same, have rear fog lights in them in the 2g Style. 1g DSM's have rear fogs either in the bumper or in a rear lip, depending on the options. I have EDM Tails with rear fogs on my Civic. All actual Euro cars in the US like VW's have Rear fogs but most of them don't even have the bulbs or harness installed, its just an empty space in them. I believe Audi's rear fogs are full functional on US Spec cars because I've seen a few of them with them lit up.

The purpose it serves I've been told by a few guys over on DSMWorld.net (the german dsm web forum) is because of the poor weather conditions causes for it to be legalized that cars must have them.

I just got in an argument with this guy about EDM/JDM Tail light differences, cause he wanted to argue with me of all people about there being no such thing as JDM Tails, when thats what he has on his 2g dsm. If you do a search for EDM/JDM on here you'll find threads by me showing and explaining EDM/JDM Parts such as headlights, tail lights, fog lights, Power Folding Mirrors and other things such as 2gNT's coming with 4g63's.

Note: The outside light near the amber signal is the Parking/Brake light, the inside one is the fog light. When hooked up to US Tail harness's they look funny but technically the inside light is only supposed to be on when the switch is pressed. And yes there is a cool rear fog light switch. The stock fog light switch is split in half and its actually two switches. Can be seen in this video:

Interesting.

 

[NC99Eclipse]

The reason I referred to them as "rear fogs" is stated in Infinite's post. Also, if you google '99 Eclipse rear black fog lamp cover, you will come up with results/products on Amazon(I believe is where the products were) that also call them this.

Blacking out your reverse lights will likely not improve your satisfaction with your car. They're not exactly flood lamps to begin with.

Original Poster, The reverse lights are not rear fogs. The Rear fogs on a 2g DSM are located inside the tail lights of EDM Spec Tail lights only. Rear fog lights aren't designed to only illuminate if you put the car in reverse. They are designed to turn on when your headlights are on, same as your front fogs and have a similar switch. In order for you to be able to see behind you when driving in bad weather. I've noticed with my rear fogs that visibility behind my car at night is very illuminated, especially with reflective surfaces. So if you were to get something to tint them or cover them, your also covering the tail lights.

As for covers for the Tail lights, there are a couple companies that make such a thing and there is also VHT Niteshade which works amazing.

You can use niteshade on the reverse lights.

Interesting.

Whats even more interesting is that people actually argue with me claiming I'm "stupid" and "don't know what I'm talking about" when then mention of EDM/JDM DSM Parts. Mainly because there are no "JDM" DSM's, Which there aren't. BUT in order for a vehicle to be allowed in a country, certain things must be taken care of first hand. So Other parts were designed such as JDM Headlights, Power Folding Mirrors, JDM and EDM Tail Lights. Different interior stuff and motor differences. And there are some other cool little things EDM/JDM countries got for DSM's that we didn't.
