um, why would he have to get new tail lights if you're suggesting to tint them? When they're tinted, they'll look just the same as any other tinted lens.

cuz when lit up they still look euro?

i say the same thing..sell these ones, buy some stockers for probably less money than you sold the euro's for. then have then painted match and tinted

um, when they light up, the light is gonna flood the housing, just like the bulbs in your tail lights do.

i'd like to see these at night..from most euro's ive seen at night..

these still look rice off or on..light still deflects off the housing in different ways the stock ones..ill go take pics of mine when it gets darker...mine looks nothing like those!

Here in the US of A :headbang: we have a word to descibe those type of tail lights....RICE. Rice is a term that pretty much applies to "Altezza" style lights, "Halo" headlights, pointless decals, wheels on a SN95 larger than 19in (19's are even pushing it), underbody neons, interior neons...pretty much anything that has an eastern influence, looks like it came right from Fast and the Furious, or a modification that gives the IMPRESSION of speed yet has no performance purpose. This is why all of the reponses are telling you to buy a set of OEM tailights and smoke them if you want that look. Things may be different where you are from, maybe tailights, flashy graphics or stickers on your car are "cool" but here they are far from it. If thats what you like, then keep them and mod as you wish but expect to be flamed or bashed on an American website for such things. We do invite different tastes but sometimes there is a fine line between being different and being labled as Riced Out. I do suggest going the OEM route, even better yet, if you can find a set of export tailights(the tails your car came with) that would be even better for they are extremely rare and sought after here in the US, you will then be envied not bashed. Again this is only my opinion, so if what you have is truly what you want and you're not following some teenager, Honda-like trend then keep moding in the way that makes you happy.

i say wrap the bezel in tin foil and tell everyone else to F off...

but i think painted would look much better.
and maybe some more tint on the lense to keep the dark look going you'll need somemore contrast.

 

[thorco3]

I vote for the second option, looks much more clean imo.

 

[sn95gtvert]

i gotta ask, whats up with the led strip in the center?

 

[HuskerGT]

I like the black. And if you like the tail lights you have - keep them. I don't mind them actually since they appear to be pretty tinted already.

 

[BullitSN95]

Those tails dont look too bad with the silver on them.. i bought a set of cheap euro tails for my wheelin ranger just cause i did not care if i smashed them against a tree haha... but i liked how they lit up at night.. looked like a newer truck.. soo i bought some smoke paint and smoked them to almost black... they did not look chromE anymore haha

 

[i5.Ohhhi]

i gotta ask, whats up with the led strip in the center?

I dont think its an LED strip, I think its a reflector. But I'm almost positive you have to have one of those in Europe. :icon_rr:

 

[ARdoller]

I'm thinking its turn signals.

 

[AUTOBAHN]

Most likely that is his Reverse lamp. Being in the UK he has to have amber turnsignals. If you don't have Export (oem) tail lights a common way to do this to put the turn signals in the revervse sockets with amber bulbs. Then have a seperate Reverse light.
