Janik, Dahkye (Dexter) has them on his Sedan. I'm pretty sure heyitzalex (Alex) has them too. I think they look good with Amber side markers.

I would like to see some pics of these too. I guess I didn't realize there were any options for the '05-'06's with amber turn signals.

I'll try to snap some pics tomorrow after I get done detailing my car.

Here are the tails with the signals off. They look pretty much stock, but the turn signal portion is slightly more pink than the US spec afterburner tails.

When your lights are on are your rear amber lights lit?

Nope. Only when the signals are on.

+1 on the JDM Tails. I have the 03-04 version. While I like the 05-06 JDM Tails, I chose these because my car is an 04.



I think if you took off the red tape on the reverse lights, your tail would look a lot better!!

So apparently there are two JDM versions of the '05-'06 tail lights, one with amber signals and one with pinkish red signals. Does anybody know if the ones with amber turn signals are still available? Also, what do they cost?

Unless my eyes are playing tricks on me, the tail lights in the thread below are '05-'06's and have amber turn signals.

Sorry, didn't know you were referring to that pic.

I think they all are amber. If you look from the side it looks "pink" because of the surrounding red plastic, but I beleive they all would look amber from the rear simply because you can't display amber light through a red/pink lens. It would need to be clear or amber in color in order to display the amber turn signal correctly. Surround that with red plastic of the housing and depending on the lighting and angle of the photo, it could display different colors.

You're correct. It's simply how the light hits the housing.
