Anybody have these?
I wanted to get some clear lenses & colored bulbs for my tailights but i can't find much info on them. The ones above are about all i could find. Opinions? Suggestions?
Also, i really like to see a good close-up picture of those tailights on a green dakota sport. Anyone know where i might find that?
If anyone has researched tailight options recenlty please let me know I need some good advice.
thanks.

Dude I realize it's your truck and you can do with it what you want but you asked for advice and here it is . Send that import looking crap back to Europe where it belongs and leave the lights on the truck alone ,Hell go buy something good with the money! JMHO!

The funny thing is these lights are bank. Then next year you'll wish you hadn't clean out the garage and thrown the stock one's away. All this stuff will end up going the way of the louvered rear window covers, 6inch racing stripes, cruisin sticker's, neon paint, camper shells with no side windows, Semi truck lit front visors, jacked up rearends and lowered fronts the list goes on and on. Look into an nice spray on bed liner or cover. What about some nice new shocks?
Anyway I'm pretty sure Summit Racing could hook you up with these. They have them in stock for Mustangs, Camaro's and Honda's.

Dudes, mopar8 doc Q, thats exactly what i needed to hear. I don't don't want my truck to look like a frickin rice burner. If I could find something more low key i might go for it but as it is there's no chrome on my truck and those are too much.
I think all i want is clear corner signal's with amber bulbs for the front. Custom yet classy.

I dunno. APC has some carbon fiber taillights that I would put on my truck ... IF they were available. They're not quite as bold as those clear/chrome look lights ... little more low key.

well, I will give my opinion w/o being a smarta$$ I would only get them if they had the carbon fibers out.. other than that, I think chrome should be left on big rigs and harleys =]

Thanks AcrophobiA, I like those a lot better than the chome. But now i'm thinking i might want the all clear ones (non-euro)....if i can find them. I hear they've been discontinued.
Does anyone here have a pic of their truck with any of these on it? I skimmed through the Photo Album section but didn't see any.

I have also seen ones where the clear and red is reversed and is the opposite of the stock tail lights. Here is a pic of the ram ones. I couldn't find a pic of the Dakota ones.

Kota,
All i've done is put on a Westin Safari Bar with PIAA 520 series ion crystal driving lights. These:
And I ordered a set of clear corner signals for the front.
Haven't done anything to the engine...yet (i have the V6, wish i went with the 8). My first move there might be an intake?
What are you running? Got any good ideas for me?

x96283, I know some Civic guys at www.ClubSi.com that have done that. I'll look around and see if I can find the posts. I prefer the stock tail lights myself though...just paint the outer edge and between the clear the same color as your truck. That looks good.

It has been a while since I saw the post at Club SI. Right now all I can find is how to tint the lenses. I say save your money for a real mod and keep your stock taillights!

Personally, I don't like the clear lights for the rear, but to each his own. I will say this though. If you opt for the clear lense lights with the red bulbs, you better hope to hell you don't get hit in the rear. Those lights are illegal and you can actually be sued by the person who hits you in the rear. If you gotta change out the lights, don't be stupid and sacrifice everyone elses safety for your need to be different. Go with the Altezza lenses.
Now the clear front lenses......I like it!!!!!!!!!
