Any Body Want A Set Of These?

[Eug]

very nice... so no need to pay $220 eh.

might be an idea to put in a flat clear panel where the red plastic used to be.

now to red bulbs, any ideas?

- lightly paint the bulbs red

- a red plastic between the bulb and the tailights

[sam5709]

oh yeh forgot about that part, i just went to repco, gave them my old bulbs and asked for red ones, grabbed two pairs of them at 4 bux a pair and all is good,

i only sprayed a very light coat of vht night shade, so light you could see straight through it, however as soon as i put it back in the light assembly they appeared black because the inside of the light assembly is black, this means that light shows through nicely so i dont have to worry about the cops

putting a clear thing of plastic would be a very good idea and as soon as i have time to do it i will,

all in the cost to do this was

vht night shade $20

red bulbs $8

$28 for r33 tail lights that are rare is pretty good i reckon lol

[Eug]

nice job sam...

so now what are the legalities of this... i mean it's a fairly obvious mod.

as long as the they light up red its ok?

Illegal - don't retain the red reflector...

Illegal - don't retain the red reflector...

some utes/trailers normally have bike reflector type things attached on

i guess we could cleverly work around that.

lol was gonna do this ages ago to match my front foggies but was gonna look shit due to my red brake wing light but i prefer the red on the silver cars

but for some reason they look awesome being clear on other cars

just my 2 cents

[sam5709]

good point about it not retaining the red reflector

but oh well, just about every other mod iv done to my car is illegal, i mean if the lights didnt light up red i wouldnt have done it but people can still clearly see the red light up so i dont mind lol

[alpinestars]

does the bulb light up pinky-red seen a few people with though ricer tail lights with those red globe in em they look pinky

[redevil]

wonder how they would look on a dark maroon car.... not skyline maroon resprayed darker

[Ronin 09]

yep to maintain roadworthyness you'll need a pair of red reflectors somewhere...

Ill pay ya!

That used to be my brothers car. Was making 466RWHP on 20psi. Was a very very tough car - running 10's

As for the lights, they were custom made. Take out the tail light and well "break" out the red covers. As long as there is a red globe in there (so when u brake its red), then that's fine.

The drop tank was fake, just a drop tank cover. Still looked awesome though!

I think Skylines look better with red tail lights to be honest. Clear is just a bit 'bling' if you know what I mean?

[PM-R33]

That Skyline used to be (or still is) in Townsville. I dunno, i liked it cause it was different, but i think it only suits certain coloured cars, not my cup of tea personally.

[NA_Goodness]

Jason said it sold to a guy in Townsville. Although apparently a tree fell on it?

Those lights look absolutely discusting! Sorry, but

[PM-R33]

Hmmm not sure, i used to see it around every now and then, havnt seen it for a while though.

[PM-R33]

Definetely suits the silver the best IMO.

[errno]

howd you get the clear lens on them?

[errno]

i pulled out the old red lens and took it a plastic extruder to get matched with a clear one. silicon back onto the housing when done. i also tinted the inside of the lens too..

anyone have an idea on who can do this in perth? I emailed a couple places for a cost but noones responded to me

[shanusr33]

i dont have them anymore, but post 8 on here gives you more info/pics. it's all been covered already, just thought i'd share.

i found replacing the globe with a red one or even the led globes still wasn't enough, so i installed led's into the clear taillights too.
