"In order to purchase these lights, you have to send in your stock tail lights for modification"

Dunno if you'd want to wait

[rokmplutonium]

Oh btw its $375 for the pair

[MakotoS13]

i'd black out the stockers before doin the half clear thing.

[Wei240]

i'd do half clear thing then blackout the entire thing, haha,

but you can make it yourself (the half clear thing) for a fraction of what clearcorner charges... people have done it...

[mad s13]

or you can get them off of ebay for like 150-200

[Rkesh88]

how would u do that though

[MakotoS13]

first you need a subscription to ricer's monthly. they go over all that stuff a lot.

[naed240sx]

bleh... makes it look like an integra

[Rkesh88]

so then what shud i do with my tail lights, id rather not get the rice lights that are altezzas that they make for it?

[pignosecoupe]

so then what shud i do with my tail lights,

Nothing. I think that the coupe tails are hot. I thought about getting the clearcorners lights, but there is nothing wrong with my stock coupe lights. At most, I may smoke them, But that will only happen after paint.

Before you do anything to your car, keep in mind, that just because you can, doesn't mean that you should.

[Rkesh88]

ok my car isnt the coupe its the hatchback

[Rkesh88]

it is the 90 240 with the full tail lights, not the one with the lights on each corner

[Wei240]

either break (or bake your housing to pry off) your yellow turn lights (part of the tail lights) and replace with clear colored plastic/plexiglass...

[Rkesh88]

ok and is there an official procedure to that that some one has posted?

[TheTimanator]

so then what shud i do with my tail lights, id rather not get the rice lights that are altezzas that they make for it?
get ones from clearcorners.com
get kouki tails
"smoke" them
go all red
"altezza" lights :bash:
keep them stock

personally I'd get the clearcorners tails which are $300 for the hatch...not $375 (for coupe) like stated above

and all the DIY ones I have seen leak

[Wei240]

there are no official procedures, you either pay up and buy clearcorners (i don't even think you can just buy something from ebay, because those altez' are for 180sx types..?) or just fab it yo self,

if you do a good enough job, it won't leak, it's not like mike at clear corners runs a factory, it's all manual hard labor, so if you half ass it, it'll come out half assed, if you break one while making one, go to a junkyard and pick up another set for cheap...

summary = either buy it or make it yourself, and no step by step instructions specific to your request on how to do it as far as i know...

[chlatboy]

Clear corners is very expensive, but for what you get, it is worth it. But hey, 240 owners are cheap!

[clean]

it is the 90 240 with the full tail lights, not the one with the lights on each corner


what other mods do you have? im just curious, because i doubt you have anything seriously done to your car. just leave them be, $300 can be better spent on go parts instead of something that needs not changing. why don't you just paint the bottom section the same as your car and modify the top brake lights as a turn signal also so it is on lone taillight. that would look better. just my opinion :wackit:

Rkesh88, get whatever you feel looks best to you. Some people like stock, some people like Clear Corners, some people like Altezza style lights. Me personally, I like these tail lights.

At Formula D Sonoma this year I saw a JDM (RHD) S13 Coupe with those tails on it, and they look GREAT in person.

Here's a link for ya:

And also, and more importantly...it's YOUR car...NOT anybody on this forum's...so get what YOU think looks the best, NOT what everyone else tells you to get.

^^Those won't work for him Joe.

ok my car isnt the coupe its the hatchback

But I agree, the G-Corporation lights for the coupe are VERY SEXY. I prefer the smoked models myself.

[SilviaDriver]

why is everybody posting pics of couple taillights?

he owns a FASTBACK!!!!

[Wei240]

i think we're just agreeing on how hot those g-corp coupe tail lights are...

[projectRDM]

Zilvia, where 240 owners who can't read unite. For the hatch I think the cc.com or the Kouki lights are the only real option, the blacking out or painting over the turn portion looks weird unless you could actually mold the lights into two pieces.

But for the record, the G-Grow coupe lights are absolute sex, my business partner lucked out on a set cheap and the car isn't even running yet but we made the effort to turn it around in the garage so the back end faces out. If they ever did an S14 set my ActiveK's would be for sale faster than a whore gives a blow.

If you are looking for 1/2 clear 1/2 red for a HATCHBACK... I don't think it would look very good. And they'd have to be custom made because no one makes them.

Shame old_s13 couldn't keep himself on Zilvia to advertise for himself.

[Rkesh88]

honestly all you have to do is bash the orange out and its already white on the inside, i had the florescent light covers on there but it looks cleaner this way, just make sure you dont bash thorugh the white when ur takin on the orange and dont break ur center piece taking out ur taillights

you know...im not sure WHY I thought he had a coupe....maybe I am Dumb Bastard. haha! BUT for the hatchaback, you really only have three options to look good. going from best to worst, here we go
#1.clear corners (expensive, but Mike does EXTREMELY good work and is a hella nice guy in person too)
#2.molded in (gonna be expensive to, but hey what isn't)
#3.kouki tails (better than stock, but still....EVERYBODY seems to have them now)
