Clearing out Tails, HELP!

[DraZtiK]

Hey how do you clear out the tail lights like on the homepage of this forum.. red up top and clear bottom part? let me know that looks badass!!!!

[cp[mike]]

those are aftermarket they are referred to as red/clear taillights, you can get them on ebay, or most parts websites... i personally have a set from procarparts.com.

fack! i wish you could just clear em out!!! then id have red/clears... but aftermarklet tails dont exist for 92/93 coupes

[CBShichi]

Yeah they're aftermarket. And Yo cpmike did you have any problems with the inner red/clear tail lights from procarparts.com? Because I bought a set from them about 4 years ago and the outside lights fit like a glove but the inner lights didn't fit at all so I sent them back and got a set from autodynamic. But after a couple of years something was sitting out of my trunk and my brother closed the trunk and chipped the inner tails so I need another set. Just wondering if they products are better fitting now.

the foam gaskets they sent were really thick, and made the tails stick out far, so i put my original ones on and it was good... i didnt really have any big fitment issues, but they didnt line up perfectly at first, and on my right side the tail pieces were really close, almost touching... but i loosened everything piece by piece, pushed it hard into place, and tightened it all down. its all good now, and none of them get water in them.

there was a DIY guide for 3rd genners, that explained how to make your own red/clears. for them, you actually break off all of the amber plastic, and heat and shape plexiglass and peices of office lighting and glue them on. the pics in the guide looked really good... i considered trying it out on a coupe taillight, see how it looked.

oooooooh...I got a set of basically brand new looking 92-93 inner red/clear tails

you interested? I can take pics if you want....they were on my car and were perfect but my driver's side outer lense was leaking water so I bought a new set and replaced all 4

let me know

there is a DIY out there somewhere...i think you used a dremel to cut out the amber and then use the plastic covers that office lights have and use that for the white part...its out there somewhere, just have to look for it.

Yeah sure. Hook me up with pictures. I know this might be asking too much but could you include pictures of the studs on the inner tail lights that mount into the trunk. I just want to see what you have because the very first pair I bought from procarparts.com had this dinky looking stud that threaded into it but didn't sit flush that's why it wouldn't fit and sent them back. They said guaranteed fitment. -shrugs- And how much are you asking for them?

you can post the pics here but if you can't then e-mail them to me : hybridhowto@yahoo.com

I had a friend do that with a 3rd gen prelude. Looked sweet.

[fliplyricist1]

no doubt man...I'll post pics in just a second... just a little confused what you mean by studs...you mean the threads where the nuts bolt onto? They're all perfect and trust me man they fit my car perfectly, it was just my outer left taillight that gave me problems (the outer left had all the 3 threads basically rust and break off due to all the water leakage, but i replaced them w/ threads from home depot and they'll probably still work) But the inners were perfect and never leaked or had fitment issues...just that one outer left taillight had problems but it was probably because I lost the gasket and never could find one.

The lenses are in immaculate shape (I always waxed them along with the car) no scratches and the top chrome trim is in great condition. On the inner chrome trim, however, one is completely worn off and gone (shiny smooth cream plastic now) and the other the chrome is really spotting and wearing off. It's inevitable with time though. The chrome trim is cheap on the red/clear tails for our cars, but the visible strip part on the top is in great shape.


throw me an offer (I might just try and sell the used set of 4 pcs on ebay if you aren't interested)

[CBShichi]

Looks pretty good, and yeah I was talking about the studs where the nuts thread to. That's the same exact kind I had when I first bought them and they didn't work. But if you say you had no problem and fitment is good then I'll take your word for it. How about $35 just for the inner tail lights?
