Just take the reflector out of the USDM lights and voila, RS taillights. Minus the pink LED's.

I have to say, your avatar always makes me a feel a little weird everytime I see it. No knock on you, I just have to say it.

I'd have to try and gain about 165lbs. Then we'll see.

I think both RS and Base JDM tail lights are pretty nice.

I say the base taillights look better. If only those came with LEDs, they'd be perfect.

The RS units are too silvery for me.
They remind me of the full-smoked JDM GD LED taillights for the top-dog JDM GD3s...not very appealing as they were too silvery/greyish when not illuminated.

can't wait to see what kind of tails they use for upcoming year GE8s... hopefully the GE8 has a long run and we get more aftermarket support... PRONTO!

How could you not love these? Anyway, to each his/her own. I just like having the ability to create something different and these parts are just paint to my canvas. I know that I wouldn't want my car any other way, and other's appreciation is just a plus.

To be honest I'd rather have anything than the USDM tails, they're ugly as hell. The JDM ones just look cleaner. Plus the JDM tails would look real clean on my fit since it's red. If anyone knows where to get a set of genuine JDM tails let me know, I don't trust ebay.

How would you remove the reflectors? Bake the lights to open them up?

Yup. Can't say exactly for the taillights but when I opened up my headlights it only took 4 minutes at 250 degrees and it pried apart with a flathead. I think it would look sick if someone took out the reflector and painted the OEM housings black.

From my perspective, the USDM tails is my favorite.
Because non LED DM tails is a common stock tail lights.

So I'd prefer USDM tails though.
Even LED JDM, I'd still prefer USDM tails...
I like the small red reflector eye...
It's cute...
