$60 with 2k miles on them, they looked brand new in the box.

So much better than stock ricer crap!

congrats you have successfully, desecrated a lightning.


I'd rather drive a honda with normal taillights than a lightning with altezza's. I seriously abhor that look.

To each his own, but the 01-04 tail lights were only cool for the first year. After that they got old fast.

The new Led ones are sweet though.. going to probably pick a set of those up soon..

the tail lights are one of the most distinctive parts of the 01 and up lightnings, oh well, i just hate the regular f150 tails, theyre too boring, the black LED ones are sweet

rice to me is untasteful and over excesive things... just because something is flashy doesnt mean its rice. sure something like stickers are flashy but some are tasteful/actually look good.



the stock tail lights are neither untasteful or over excesive, but they are flashy and look good.

Thats why I get comments like, "nice truck! wtf is with those tail lights though?"

(Ricer: from the latin word Ricarius meaning to suck at everything you attempt)

A person who makes unecessary modifications to their most often import car (hence the term "rice") to make it (mostly make it look) faster. The most common modifications are (but not limited to):

- Huge exhaust that serves no purpose but to make the car louder
- Large spoiler on the back that looks like something Boeing made for the 747
- Lots of after-market company stickers they don't have parts from, but must be cool
- Expensive rims that usually cost more than the car itself
- Bodykit to make the car appear lower, usually accented with chicken wire
- Clear tail lights and corner signals
- A "performace intake"- a tube that feeds cold air to their engine usually located in areas of excessive heat (behind or on top of the engine)
- Most of these riced cars (a.k.a. rice rockets or rice burners) are imports; Honda Civics, Accords, Integras, CRXs, RSXs, Del Sols Mitsubishi Eclipses, Lancers, Subaru Imprezas, however there are some domestics such as Chevrolet Caviliers, Dodge Neons, Ford Focus; small, slow, economy cars designed specifically to go slow. Please note that some Supras, Skylines, WRX's and other higher performance imports are designed to go fast, and are therfore not always considered rice. It really depends on the severity of the case.

The "ricer" attempts to make their car "performance" by adding the modifications listed above. These ricers are not confined to any one ethnic group or color, however different ethnic groups are known for certain styles.

I like the stock (red) tail lights only on white trucks.......Everything else i like the clear. I put the 01 up style tails on my 99 and don't regret doing so.
