hey guys,

so i recently purchsed my new vspec. put the crystal led tailights in and am now lookin for someone to help me find the rear bar reverse and fog lights in a similar style, are there any????

i want to try match the modern crystal look and also even with the break in the boot lid, if not can someone make these up if i sent them the lighs?

any help would be appreciated

Go custom. Like what I've done to mine and didn't cost no where near as much as the NISMO items. Looks just as good if not better. Can post pics if anyone is interested. Stil to do my tail lights but.

Sorry for the late reply guys.

Basically the LED's that I used aren't the same as what are the NISMO LED's. You could use them if you wanted. The ones I used are luxeon LED's which are MEGA bright! So I didn't need to use too many LED's. Basically you need to use a bit of circuit board which you shape to suit the reverse light/stop light. Resistors are used in conjunction with the LED's. I think there were 6 LED's used for the stop light and 4 LED's for each reverse light. It only cost less than $100 to do both the reverse and stop lights.

Here are some pics.

I also had the reverse lights painted black inside.

Hi Wisey18,

Do you have to disassemble to rear lights to fit LED inside ?

I own a R34 and I basically need to swap the fog light and the reverse light (this is required by the registration process) : fog light must be on left.

My idea is to disassemble the left rear light and to paint the interior side of the glass with red. Next thing is to deal with the wires - easy part - and I will done.

But I have no idea how to disassemble the rear light without breaking anything.

Any idea ??

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
