I haven't had any experience with either of them. So if SF said go with the first one i would go with that. Make sure before u put them on seal them so they wont leak.

oh lets see...
all honda web forum classifieds, ebay, importautosalvage, local yards, etc
just look places.
Any 99-00 civic coupes tails will fit, they dont have to be Si, despite common thought, to be red/clear.

Exactly what it says.
Usually shitty aftermarket taillights leak. Let water in. Fill up with water. They are garbage.

all civic's tails fit each other (within the body styles - 2/3/4dr)
My 97 has 00 tails (they are from an si...but that doesnt matter really)

Since the aftermarket is so quick to make "hot parts" the quality falls through the floor...and then some. Parts are made like ass and they dont even seal them well enough. Condensation, or even all out rain, gathers inside them, causes the bulb to go out, and a pissed off driver.
Oem honda lights do not leak (unlike gm and ford parts....)
A lot of 99-00 drivers are into the 96-98 tails now, because its "different".

GO with OEm ones rather than with the ebay ones.
