Taillights

[Jakester]

Hey guys, thinking of getting some new taillights for my 01 Accord Sedan. Have you guys changed yours at all, or would you recommend any taillights?

There are two I have been looking at, what do you guys think, which do you like better, or would you recommend something else? Thanks

There's an actual amber piece inside the OEM ones? Is it easy to remove if I chose to do that/how would I do that?

Please don't get number 1. Running Altezza lights on anything except a Lexus IS/Toyota Altezza is pure

If you look closely at the animated gif of the pink civic, it's also running Altezza lights.

There's an actual amber piece inside the OEM ones? Is it easy to remove if I chose to do that/how would I do that?

Yup, it's what gives your turn signal the amber color. Two ways to remove, either pop open the taillights, remove, and reseal. Or, what I did for my 96 Accord, cut up the amber piece through the bulb hole, and remove it in pieces.

Ok, thanks for that guys.

But also I just realized something, now forgive me if this is a dumb question, but I literally have no idea...

Now for example, the one taillight I showed you, http://www.ebay.com/itm/Depo-Pair-E...cord-4DR-/301085739365?_trksid=p2054897.l4275 the turn signal, and the reverse light are above the brake/taillight. On my car, the turn signal and reverse light are below the brake/taillight...would this be an issue, or no?

98-00 and 01-02 are different. i think the 01 02 sedans have the reverse lights on the bottom. i have no idea

You have a 2001 sedan, so you need to make sure you buy tail lights that fit an 01-02 sedan.

Right, I got that, but the ones I've been looking at says they are for my car's year, but the lights are still in different places. So this shouldn't matter then if it fits my car right? It'll be just a simple plug and play?

 

[RedRyder]

A lot of those Ebay sellers dont know what they're talking about, best to message them or buy somewhere else. But if you click the 2nd link and look at the 98-00 and 01-02 tails below, they all look the same. And one of them is actually labeled "98-01".

The DEPO tail lights, regardless of the year, have the lights in the same place.

They made the 01-02 ones look like the 98-00 ones for some silly reason.

Just connect the lights where they are supposed to go, and they will run fine.

Here is mine (an 02) when I had the CF ones, the black sedan beside me is a 2000 with the red/clear DEPO tails.
