So my dad backed into my car a few minutes ago...

Broke my drivers side tail light and dented the quarter panel pretty bad. He's going to pay the damages and said he'll pay for both after market tail lights for the inconvenience What tail lights do you guys recommend? Nothing too expansive, don't wanna feel like I'm taking advantage lol

It's a super black 2003 350z, I have pictures in my garage album to get a feel of what the car looks like

The damage

 

most people will say stick with OEM led 06+ tailights

 

is it a direct replacement or is a mod needed to make it fit?

 

Anyone got these tail lights before?

 

please for the love of car do not get those. Like stated, the 06+ OEM are best looking for the z

 

Its hit or miss-some models plug directly while others need a small tab on the connector filed down in order to plug in. Either way its a very simple swap.

06+ OEMs all the way

 

Look for a profile view, most aftermarket lights bulge out like bug eyes.

please search the one million and three threads about taillights..

OEM or NONE AT ALL. lol.

 

so before I get killed by the 350z community ima go get some 06 tail lights haha thank you all

 

We're talking about these right?

not the red ones?

 

Those are JDM OEM tail lights. Use these with discretion.

 

These are the JDM OEM ones, try to get the all red 06+ OEM tail lights.

 

Alright thanks guys, on the hunt for these things now. They sell off quick

 

I like the JDM OEM Tailights, especially on a black or white Z. I wouldn't get it on my SMB though.

If you really don't want to screw over your dad just replace the tailight that he hit with the OEM for the year you have. So what it's not the new one, your father would appreciate you looking out for him.

 

Yeah I have a black Z but I can't find any pictures of it on a black Z, only white and gray

And I told him I was looking into after market lights anyways so it's not a big deal (quarter panel I'm still pissed about tho) and he said don't worry he'll pay for them lol

 

Quarter panel and Rear bumper repair and repaint will run you around 700, for a quality OEM finish job. you can also get it done cheaply, but like they say you get what you pay for.

 

I vote for OEM as well.

 

Stick with OEM +6 taillight or none at all. Gosh, your dad is a good person. My dad wouldn't give a $hit...

 

^ My dad would say that that's what I get for parking wrong or something lol

 

here are pics of the JDM Tails on a black car
