75coupe Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Dosen't look too bad. I filled the gar with some rubber weather strip I sourced from clak rubber $13 (I love that shop, I used it a few times now, love going there) and sealed it with windscreen sealant $11. Got some red coloured brake light globes from my favorite Bulleseye store $10. I reckon thats the cheapest mod that has some much visual impact I have ever done... can't wait to see it at night Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/187141-removed-red-lense-from-tail-lights/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRD-00F Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Yeah i plan on giving this a go as well can you put the red lense back in when you want?

75coupe Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share Posted September 28, 2007 (edited) Yeah I guess so, but playing sealant sucks ass... i lost my fingerprints from getting the assembly apart... suck ass I wouldn't want to do it twice... well four times... cause I still gotta do the other side... I also had to do the bake in an oven trick, worked well...

funkymonkey Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 it should dissolve in kerosene... well that's the trick to getting the R32 ones apart anyways.

Lazy-Bastard Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I was about to do the same thing the other day after reading a post by BAM33. Had the light assembly out and all, then decided against it after seeing the sealant. Looks great IMO. Night shots please Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/187141-removed-red-lense-from-tail-lights/#findComment-3379863 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad082 Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 if it is a white reflector pointing rewards you stand a good chance of getting booked. it is illegal to have white lights (other than reverse lights and number plate light) and white reflectors pointing rearwards.

bryno Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 I'd also like to see some night shots of this, and whether it's actually legal or not!

W0rp3D Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 I'd also like to see some night shots of this, and whether it's actually legal or not! In vic it wouldnt be legal because you need to have a red reflector and im guessing that red cover was the reflector since there is no more red there.

funkymonkey Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 stick some red tint over the centre circle which is the reflector. then you're legal. mind you then you'll have albino eyes on the back of your car.

Kaido_RR Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 lol, i never said they looked any good if you want the same design for both lights, then can make it for you, so may make it look alittle better lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/187141-removed-red-lense-from-tail-lights/#findComment-3383258 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I really like the inside light design, not a fan of the different ones though. If all 4 were like the inside two it would be great. 80,000 yen is that about $800 aussie?
