Default What tail lights are these? (1997sc400)

Just picked up an sc and I don’t think I’ve ever seen these taillights does anyone know what these are? Are they factory?

Not factory. I believe those were offered as aftermarket versions on eBay.

Duck05 is correct. They’re aftermarket taillights, usually found on eBay. I’ve always wondered how well they worked.

For aftermarket I think these look nice and not too out of place. There seems to be a good number of OEM taillights on eBay at the moment if you really don't like them.

I don’t have many pictures because I took her to the shop right away for a steering rack leak but other then that she’s good, picked her up for $4800 140k miles with perfect black interior

That’s a really good deal! Very good looking car, and it’s one of my favorite colors on the SC.

And they look great at night also. Looks like you have changed wheels since your first pictures and they look great also.

Thank you i slapped some 18s on it along with bc coliovers at a functional ride height. I absolutely love it. I did change the tailights to the oem ones just yesterday so im also stoked about that.

97+ tail lights always look awesome. OEM tails on these cars just can't be beat. I dread the day I brake a headlight or tail light. They're so hard to get your hands on anymore and all of the aftermarket ones just don't do the trick...
