The jdm lights are a nice piece but i guarentee that over 90% of people who see your car daily on the streets just think it's another set of euros or altezza style lights.

Not hot on the JDM tails on SB/MB. I think they look okay on some other colors, mainly redline.

Personally I would much rather have the '06's.

I am sorry but who cares what other people think? I could really care less if 100% of the people thought my car was ricey. As long as I am happy I'll be happy.

To the OP - It is your car. Mod it whatever way you feel like. I personally have them on my car and they started to grow on me after a while. I plan on tinting them a bit with my new set up tho for a more subtle look.

Here is a picture of them on my car. I have a completely make over for the next season but I am keeping these.

+1 I have them on my SS as well. I absolutely love them. Like Kevin said in the above post, who cares what other people thinks about them. If you want to be different (not ricey different), then go for it. Here is a pic of my car with them on....

it's a hard one. The cars that posted, you guys have good tastes anyways so most people would still like your cars. I mod for myself but i also try not to go over board because i would still like to know that others appreciate what i have done.
