Aftermarket Tail Lights?


Recommended Posts

I've been looking for a set of aftermarket tail lights for my 05' GT. I hanv't been able to find any! Does anyone know of any companies that make them and where I can find a set?? :confused:

I used Lamin-X tints; they just tack on, very easy application.

Other people have actually sprayed on tint, or opened up their tails to spray on tint. Too involved for me, and if cops ever call me out on it, it'd be a b*tch to undo. Might even have to buy new taillights.

 

Yes it does darken the brake lights a little... but if you think about it, how noticeable it is is really dependent on

1) what your taillights look like when you're not braking

2) what your taillights look like when you are braking.

 

Stock:

1) They're red.

2) They are still red, but get brighter

 

After tinting:

1) They're black

2) They're black, but glow red

 

In my weird sense of logic, tinting may reduce the actual light output of the LED's, but they may not necessarily decrease how visible it is that you're braking by too much. In any case, going with smoked or gunsmoke I think will allow enough light to go through that you won't have to worry about visibility of tail lights. If a granny is gonna hit you, she gonna hit you anyway!!

 

I've had some hard stops in traffic recently with my tinted tails and no one has hit me yet.

Then there's these, which have holes and reverse light cutouts. Looks completely stock when braking (tons of light output) and full functionality of the reverse lights.

I heard there was a guy on here (Jinsu power?) that sold those, but not anymore. Since then no one knows how to get the ones with the cutouts.

 

Jinsu-Power is no longer in business, but this guy:http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=111147 is going to try and start making them.

 

Can't you guy JDM tails from HKC Speed?

You could, but the JDM tails look the same as USDM tails to me. Definitely not different enough to warrant the $$$ for them IMO.
