My girl doesnt have many nice things to say about my car but one thing she admitted to is that she loves the my JDM tail lights over the stock. I think it makes it look like a newer model. I've also got LED lights on the car too.

Did the JDM taillight appear in other markets like europe? For my 3000GT, it's fairly easy to get the JDM tails, you just trade with a Euro GTO (3000GT) owner.
 I know it's a bit harder with ours Celica's.

I know how you feel... I wanted the JDM tails so bad then I found out I couldnt have them cuz they dont fit my convertible.
 I was gonna get curren tails, which can fit the coupe/vert, but they arent as cool as the JDM imo... *sigh* oh well... --------------------  2003 Nissan Murano SE |

lol the white celica which lights you so hate happens to be my car... thanks for dogging on my celica man. No but i agree with ya, the coupe/convertable lights are ugly, and so are the hatchbacks, toyota just didnt do well with tail lights. Luckily we have the JDM and Curren tails.

Hi, finially someone found me in the internet. I am the owner for this web site. My username in eBay is kalokb. I think many people know me already since I sold over 50 pairs curren and celica lights already to US/canada. However, I am sorry that I don't plan to sell anymore Curren lights since they are very little demand and takes long long time delivery from Japan, which is about 10 weeks. |
