Default What kind of Tail Lights are these?

Hey guys,

Out of curiosity....what kind of tail lights are these? Ive never seen them before. Are they custom? Or were these offered on a certain year or special edition car? I would think that they are custom.

They arent import tail lights. Theyre called export tail lights. Do a search and youll find a pic thread of just those lights.

Omarrakeen, you should have sold those for big bucks instead of tinting them!

We love them over here, and they're quite hard to get a hold of decent ones!
