the tail lights - Honda Prelude Forum

railsldr · 07-12-2002, 05:55 PM

the more and more I look at the 4th gen tail lights the more I dislike them. I was wondering what have people done for tail light conversions I have seen the ones from the skylines but nothing else. Any suggestions and also pics would be appreciated.

Like most, I agree with you about our disgusting off-triangular taillights. Anyways, I'll tell you what conversions I've seen on the streets and at shows.

Skyline, REAL Altezza, Accord, Del Sol, and Corvette.

Our taillights maybe ugly but we shouldn't have an identity crisis over them. Yanno? What you can do is clear out the signals or cherry red the lights or altezza-style them

.

heh I don't hate them or need to get rid of them I just don't like the shape I think carbon fiber altezza style would work best for mine since it is black.

I have to admit that the carbon fiber altezzas do look good on black preludes. The chrome ones are just

. good point.

Umm yah, i've loved the back end of our ludes since i got mine...you don't see our taillight style very closley resembled but if u wanna spend $1000 plus on a taillight conversion be my guest

I just fitted skyline tails on my car. its a hell of a job.. many hours of custom modification. custom trunk fabrication so it seals and does not leak water. its a big job if u want it done properly and professionaly! Its taking a LONG time and lots of custom metal work..

LudaticGrl · 07-13-2002, 03:32 AM

I actually think that the Accord tail lights resemble the 4th gen Lude's tail lights... I don't know what gen accord, but you know the years around 1996. That's the closest I've seen in resemblance.. but I agree, I love the back end of our preludes- they're unique!

Brady92/4WS · 07-13-2002, 02:32 PM

when i was driving on vacation i spotted a prelude probably 2 miles in front of me just by the back end, do you really want to blend in>?

SiR-P12eLude · 07-13-2002, 05:04 PM

I know.. i happen to love our tail lights indeed... It set us off differently then the rest... All you need to do is clear the tails signal and your'e all ready to go man....

H22aPoweredBatMobile · 07-13-2002, 06:44 PM

if ur gonna do a conversion id think about the black housing is300 tail lights..i think that would look sweet on black lude

jackal9220 · 07-14-2002, 08:20 PM

I dunno if this can fit or if it even looks good, but I saw a 5th gen with S2k tail lights...anyone think that'd look good on the 4th gens?

cantdrive55 · 07-14-2002, 08:44 PM

I dunno what's wrong with you people, I happen to LOVE the tail lights of the 4th Gen.

CHECKdisLUDE · 07-14-2002, 09:34 PM

yeah.. i think 4th gen back are one of the best.. u dont really see another honda with a flared out back like ours.. maybe somewhat like the supra back end... and it looks nice if you're rims set up is staggered

Me two. Original taillights allow a car to be spotted from others. Like a car like a corvette has very distinct taillights.

yup I personally love the 4th gen lights too...there isn't anything on the market quite like it...what i think ppl should be doing is converting from R33 to 4th gen prelude lights

heh...probably not gonna happen but just a thought...

I especially like the lights when the amber piece and the divider piece is taken out....

FGarcia1 · 07-15-2002, 02:15 PM

I always did like the taillights, really... a lot of professional car reviewers didn't like them at the time, though...
