When I bought my EM1, it was competely stock except for Altezza Tail lights. I hated them, so the cheapest solution was to whack on EJ8 tail lights. I do not wanna pay 350 for EM1 lights, and IMO, they arent anything special.
I spotted these on Ebay. EM1 style, but with a modern crystal look. 145 delivered from the good 'ol USA.
What do u think, fellow EM1ers?

honestly man, you get what you pay for, id buy them for 350 just to get OEM because i guarantee you, you will get fog / condensation, ebay job headlights/taillights always get it and u end up being unhappy with what u have received and have to go through the trouble of trying to re-seal them.. ( and the problem still appears )
Believe me, its not worth the head ache, i got stung with the ebay job headlights.. unless there "depo" then 99% sure u will not be happy unless u like condensation :P
do it once and do it right, buy cheap parts and youll end up buying another one.
+1. An extreme case involved the after market lights somehow shorting out and caught the car on fire - food for thought anyway.
My cousin bought some for his lancer off eBay and they are pretty much just rubbish. I won't say don't buy them, but I doubt you'll be happy. Plus no offence to people on this forum (we can all afford different things), but who wants a ricer looking Civic anyway.
yea, I can't decided myself if they are nice or rice. They are not complete rice Altezzas, just an update of the EM1 style.
Anyways they are 140 bucks delivered, so last night after coming home after a few beers I said bugger it, I'll order them. If they look crap or don't fit well or leak/distort I can always put the EJ8 tail lights back on, maybe even tint the EJ8 lights.
350 bucks IMO is just too steep for OEM second hand tail lights.
I'll post some pics when I get them and put them on.
