Do like I did and have them painted.



Keep in mind, these were completely illegal, and I never was able to actually drive with them on. The paint was too dark, and unless it was pitch dark out, and you had your face up to the taillight, you couldn't see the brake lights.

But this was really inexpensive. I bought a used set of lights. They actually had a scratch on them. I think I got them for $60 or something. I buffed out the scratches, and then while I was getting my kit painted I had the body shop paint them as well.


BTW - I no longer have this car, so I'm only going off photos that I have kept.

ok as stated above there are NO aftermarket headlights for our cars.... unfortantly...

as far as tails you have 3 choices
Stock OEM
Stock JDM (roughly $400 for the set)
and TYCs (altezas, Euro, w/e you want to call them)

Clear your headlights (remove the amber lens) and smoke your taillights with a set of overlays from bluebatmobile.net.

The taillight tint will go nicely with your IIP xA.

You don't need no stinkin' altezzas or cheap aftermarket headlights anyway.

Just a heads up...if you are interested in getting TYC tails, one of the only sellers of them on ebay is trying to get rid of them for good prices. For the longest time carpartsnation had them listed for $150 shipping, but just after christmas they started selling them for $79.95 + shipping. I made a best offer of $69.95 and it was accepted. I've got an '06 so I believe I'll have to rewire to get to them to work properly, but it is still a good deal IMO.

I just bought a pair of the TYC tails from ebay for $20. I really didnt know if I liked them or not but for 20 bucks I couldnt go wrong. A little rewiring job was needed because I have an 06 and the lights are for an 04-05 but it does look nice.

That's very cheap.. let me know if the rewiring is a big deal putting on the 05' euro lights. I read reviews that on the 05 lights wire is totally the opposite side of the 06.

The rewiring is easy..the lights wont "plug and play" so all you have to do is cut the old wires and reattach them with the new ones. Simple as that.
