Since I hate paying money for rice, I refused to spend $1200 on a set of nismo tail lights. I decided to make my own and im over the moon with the results. It took a lot of prototyping to do a set from scratch and a bit of help from fellow forum members. Next I will do the centre brake light.

Yes dan thanks for your help.....

Yeh i made it all. Cost about $200 in materials. I copied the nismo tail lights, same number of LEDs and pattern.

Lol wow... you've definitely copied it all right...

Would you make a DIY of this? :P

To all those people who says it looks nice, it looks nice because it's like 99.9% like the Nismo ones and hats off to him for making one that looks just like it.

Spending $200 to create something that looks 99.9% like something that's worth over $1000, definitely worth a DIY tutorial :P

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
