Euro Lights?

ACURA95 · 07-27-04, 09:17

I read a couple of posts on here about euro tail lights and most of them are negative. I just purchased a pair and I am looking for some brutally honest feedback. I probally should have done this before I purchased them but didnt want to wait. Just click on the link below and tell me what you think. Thanks in advance for the feedback.

Well on the good side, they are the top brand you can buy. Highest quality and LEGAL.

For looks, I don't like em. I have an integra and prefer the OEM ones or tint the OEM ones.

If you like em, then screw everyone else, but the cops may like your car a little more now with them.

I like my stock tail lights but I needed a change. I just wasnt sure if I should have gone with a carbon fiber type. I didnt want anything that attracts to much attention. What do you mean the cops will like me more now. There legal so they cant give me a ticket for them, right?

Yuk man!

they cant give you a ticket, but cops will think you are a ricer/street racer looking for trouble

I really dislike clear taillights, they look cheezy/trashy

The funny thing is, they're called "Euros," but in Europe no one has them. Europeans do have clear signal lenses, but no altezzas. Those lights are actually derived from the Toyota Altezza, or JDM Lexus IS300, which has nothing to do with Europe. Anyway, I know this info doesn't help anyone, but there's a brief history of the "euro" tail light for anybody who wanted to know. If you're driving a Teg, you really ought to just get some all red 98+ tails if you want a different look. But hey, if the "euro" lights do it for you, keep 'em and don't worry about what anybody else thinks.

GRstilez is right. If you like them then who cares what anyone else thinks.

Damn, I didnt think I would get this much negative feedback. I havent paid for them yet. Maybe I should reconsider and deal with the negative feedback.

Just tint your factory lenses darker. Imo, those lights are nothing but trouble and look like crap.

Mine came stock with clear tail lights (as you can see below), but I don't know if they're called "Euros" or not. I do know that I like them a lot.

I've parked beside a Mz3 sedan the same colour as mine that had red taillights..... IMHO mine looked way better......of course, I could be a wee bit biased......

Seriously though, I think it's great that everyone has their own taste -- it keeps things interesting. If mine's different from yours, who cares?--not me, that's for sure!

I won't belittle yours (within your "hearing"

), if you don't belittle mine (within mine).

maybe you should paint over the chrome part with your body color? i'm not so big into the whole "altezza" lights deal unless they came that way, but if you like them, you like them.

Hmmm, I havent heard any positive feedback from anyone besides If i like them who cares what anyone thinks. If I dont pay Ill get negative feedback on my ebay account. If I do pay, Ill have to resell them on ebay.

I do have to admit, when I asked for brutal honestly, thats definitely what I got.
