urs1ne Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I was told by many people that the chrome ring around the outside of the taillight is darker on the JDM taillights, this is NOT true! The only differance is the light pattern which I like but I was really bummed to find they are just as chrome as my USDM ones on my black car. I'm not mad I just dont want someone else to be disappointed like I was. ^ n00bs below this line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lame, how come the slow cars get the darker taillights and the blacked out headlights and the GT's get jipped with shitty chrome stuff?! ^ n00bs below this line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at it this way, if it was the other way around, there would be ppl complaining why the expensive cars get the shitty darker tailights and the cheaper cars get the nice crhome stuff.

They should keep using chrome for 3.0R model = Luxury and black headlight for Turbo model = sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edkwon Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Upon further inspection, this: http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-10/423426/jdmtail.jpg doesnt look really different from this: http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/1995/25tailtc7.jpg are you sure its not just a difference in ambient lighting, and photo/camera quality? because EVERYTHING looks darker and blurrier in the 2nd pic, not just the tailights.

power_getter Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 where can I get the smoked versions? I don't have any idea, where in US ? did you contact (japanparts) ? I can get smoke tails from the dealer here (I live in United Arab Emirates) It will cost around $290. But the shipping is too expensive here.
