^^^^^^ That was hilarious. This topic has been discussed many times before. I even know this one and I am a Big Noob!

You wont find clear tailights or Euro Lights for a Hyundai. The only thing you can do pretty much is smoke them out, or partially smoke them out. I wouldnt buy the covers though...they stick out a little too much. Just get some black vinyl and tint them

OH snap! Welcome to XD Postal. It's suggested you search previous threads throughout the forum for answers to questions such as these before you ask them. The search feauture is your friend and can save you a lot of hard times coming from members not wanting to see the same questions they have already answered. Good luck!

Edit^^ I have the covers. They stick out a little but it's only visible at close range w/ the trunk open. Vinyl would be the "cleaner" appearance.

unless you do what i have done...which looks great all together...

[logan4ta]

dont know if you already smoked your taillights but i just got some of that vinyl from staw512. was like 25 bucks shipped, will be putting on tonite!

[SilverElantra]

not a vinyl fan...i love the way my covers look...but it is extremely hard to see my brake lights which can cause major problems....but hey the cops always see them its just idiot drivers that dont....i even had one guy tell me my brake lights were out whne i wasnt even braking...gotta love those people....he got the finger cause he almost hit me twice...

I also used vinyl from Scott. Remember, BE PATIENT and use a heat gun, and you'll do just fine.

The lights you have, I've never seen them on the XD.
And I mean the original before the covers.
Mine look something different, but I think the covers would look the same.

Also your trunk has got a little spoiler of itself.
Is this different in the USA?

P.s. I like your car, it's nice

[Munky]

Those are the same lights that come on the Australian version. It's because you guys don't have restrictions that require amber lighting for turn signals.

But we do have.
In the headlights, there's the horrible amber cap(going to ged rid of it and put in an amber bulb)
The side flashers I already changed with a tucson for a white one(with orange bulb)
The rear may be red or amber, so I put in a red blub, which already looks a lot better.

[Munky]

Maybe so, but they still aren't DOT approved.

[PanciLaan]

Okay.
Then the next question will be, if there will be any difference from the outside.
I know the lights will look fat on my car( I also put a set of those on my friends 97 elantra which looks great) so they will come in here soon.
(first the APK(annual check for approval) then I will mount them.
But still doubting to get a set of aussie taillights, because I like the set-up of the lighting more than mine

[SilverElantra]

you have the same set-up as the aussie tail lights...i have the american ones....i love the way your tails look...i wonder what shipping would be if i traded tail lights with you....i now have covers on mine which is what you are looking for correct....and just so you now with the covers on yes it would be the same difference....

[SuperGLS]

Yes. The ones you have PanciLaan are the the same as the Australian ones.

I'm sure someone would trade you.

I personally think those are the best looking taillights in the world.

We don't have requirements for amber lighting in the rear. There are many vehicles that have red turns in the rear. But, I would like to see those lit up. I am not sure what the clear part in the center is.

PanicLaan, could you take a picture at night showing how those look when lit up? Also, one with the brake, and turn signal on? Thanks.

[SilverElantra]

i have to agree with 04 elantra cvvt....could you show us pics of everything...

[Cypher]

i wish they had cool versions of the XD tails else where in the world

Well I'll be damned, I was misinformed. Thanks for the clarification.

[PanciLaan]

I will make pics ASAP.

@Silver Elantra.

Mhh, very interested in trading a set.
Only problem is I cannot drive without tails,but problems are there to be resolved
