Default Export tails ?

Do these taillights bolt right up, or do they need to be modified?

They bolt in but you need to either modify the housing slightly for the 97+ bulb sockets to fit or gently force them into the holes as the notches don't quite line up with the newer sockets. I just gently forced mine in. You wind up not using the side 194 bulb socket that's there in the 97+ lights.

On a 97-up car the small 194 bulb is not used in the export lenses.
Also the little tabs on the bulb sockets need to be trimmed a little in certain places.
Other than that, they bolt right up, easy install.

I bought mine from PSJ and have been very happy with them. Fast shipping and he really goes all out on packaging to make sure they don't break during shippment.

Don't really care what Honda Hunter says...My car is the ONLY CAR I've ever physically seen (not talking online pictures) that has them.

They get a lot of questions and compliments..... one of the best mods I've done simply for originality's sake.

WTF? I dont live anywhere near where you live. Not even in the same country. When I said I see them all the time I ment I see them all the time where I live. I'm not bashing them at all. I just dont see the apeal.
