They are Mazda MX-3 taillights. They kinda look like supra tails, and the size is probably wrong, i just wanted to get an example. If they look dumb when i hold them up to the car then i might change my mind, i only paid $10 shipped for stock ones, not the Altezzas. I think they look ok, plus it's hard to find a tail conversion that hasn't been done already, i am trying to be original. It's either this or RSX taillights so far, but the RSX tails don't look like the shape would fit, they aren't rounded enough to fit our bumpers. If i go ahead and do it i'll post pics, maybe some of you will change your minds when it's done, and i won't be keeping the stock rear bumper, so it might look a little better.

Thanks for the input guys. I don't know what i'm gonna do. I'm bored with my stock taillights and i hate Altezzas so i need to do something. Vector got shit for his corvette tails as did just about every other person on this site that has done or thought of doing a taillight conversion, but hey.. it wins shows right? What other suggestions besides STOCK can you guys give? Later

Talon conversion emoji.. Remember that guy with the Talon convertable? emoji.. if you need parts.. AIM me (icediode emoji )..

Anyways.. that conversion is OK.. but I wouldn't do it. Try taking it apart, and try to put it in some type of order, and make a custom housing for it. That will get you alot of points, for some truly custom tails..

I don't hate it. It would be a little different. Something just doesn't look right with the bumper though. Might look better when you actually get the lights though. They look a little big.

Maybe, and this is just a thought, maybe you could try to do something custom. Don't neccesarily swap straight from car x to your DSM, but maybe get some LED bars are mold up a custom one-of-a-kind rear end.
Props on wanting to be different though, that's what sets us apart from the 30 something ladies you see driving a bone stock Eclipse to the grocery store or whatnot. Just do what YOU think looks the best. F everybody else man. Later. emoji

the best conversion for an eclipse is an eclipse. I love the eclipse head lights, I don't know why some people would want to convert it and the rear lights is a signature trade mark. It's nice and big.

I think some people go overboard when messing with the tailights. But if you want to do something to them, I say go for blackouts or the crystal red altezzas.
