If you don't like either of the options for aftermarket lights, stay with the lights that came with the car! Simple!
Or you could buy the chrome ones, pull the outside cover off, and paint the chrome a different color, so it is a metallic blue or grey or something.

Our stock tails are already JDM. The other style in Japan is just for the lower model of the P5 with out the wing and body styling. But I still recommend the other JDM tails. Look much better IMO.

Only Japan, Australia and Europe got the first style tail lights. U.S. and Canada got the ones with the 2 circles.

I have the first set and would recommend them. They are plug and play and look better in my opinion.

Aftermarket Tails look So Stupid IMO.

Ah, ok, we got the straight ones on our P5's, up until the last year or so of production, only then did we get the ones with the circles. If you want something different, get a set of the lights without the circles, and I've seen grills that you can get that go over the lights. Nothing too over the top, you paint them what color you want and it goes around the edges of the lights, and where the straight part joins the red.SeminoleMan said:

I would say go for the gunmetal black ones. I have the carbon fiber ones on mine but they look to fake close up. Here is a link for some for $70 on ebay. They would look amazing with the midnight blue color.

TheMAN said:no... the other style is just the earlier version lights we didn't get.. it's not "lower model"
Well then how come I have only seen those lights on the JDM P5's that have no spoiler, side skirts, and a sedan looking front and rear bumper. EDM I know came with those as standard with our model here in the US but it looks diff in Japan.

Stock one's on the car look best IMO but my baby is red so they match nicely...those gunmetal altezza's would look good though with the blue. I still say stock ftw!
