mkiii lights

By law they have to have a certain percentage of red as well... I didn't say that I thought they were street legal. Half the aftermarket lighting accessories available here in the US aren't legal for a car parked on the street much less being driven.

I'll look through the pictures I've collected over the years and see if I have any of those tails.

Thanks. I'd be curious to see em! I remember a guy from Japan but my 99 Cobra tails because he had a terminator and the 99 was the only new edge style that had amber signals. He gave me $250 shipped no questions for em. I was like WOAH.

Here's one I've always liked quite a bit:



It's a Gains tail light cover. I don't know if the tail lights on that car are the clear ones I've seen or if they've done something with the stockers for that look.



EDIT:

Okay, dug up some info. The clears were made by a company called Takakaira (website is down). They are not very pretty... I forgot thinking that they looked like they were covered in fish scales.






And there are some VERY cool LED conversions out there:

same type of car as mine. color and everything. interesting to hear the color is rare.

nice to see what it would look like with rims and that hatch cover on the back.

maybe not nice to hear the color is rare. mine needs a paint job and i want the same color. maybe this will or will not be a problem of availability but price.

Having tails like that would be sweet. aren't those custom?

A few questions; are the USDM (US Domestic Market) taillights the same as the JDM ? (Japanese Domestic Market)
Another question; in the UK we have a legal requirement for rear fog lights (the two rectangular lights in the body mouldings) does this requirement apply in the US or are they the same as the Japanese Supra.
No 1 Modified European Taillights
No 2 JDM Taillights
No 3 European Taillights

Pre89 USDM taillights are the same as European tails except that the center section is sized for US plates (same as JDM plates). '89 and later taillights are the same as those in picture #2 except they are lighter in color (the same color as Euro tails).

No, the US Department of Transportation does not have any regulation in place requiring rear fogs. As such they were never placed on USDM MKIIIs... there are USDM vehicles which do have them (primarily those of European origin), but they're not common.

Also, I know that German MKIIIs don't have them but I don't know if it is a Eurpean thing altogether, but the USDM MKIIIs have side lights in the rear as well as those in the front (I can't remember if JDM MKIIIs have them either).
