DIY taillight project-s13 hatch

[bruceguy]

so.... for the longest time ive been wanting to buy 180sx tail lights,
but the fact is i rather spend that $400 + plus on suspension or whatever.

now, on to the project..

budget=25 bucks

so i went to junkyard and found nice stock tail lights

after thoughts;

pleased with the results, looks preety damn good- better than what i expected.

proly could of use one or two coats more, at night-right at edges of the lenses the paint thins, and a little light comes thru-when baking.

i did put screws after i installed the lights, just incase dble sided tape failed.

dont worry- im going to replace the top brake light.

i liked how the block in the middle is half reflector, half turn signal

cool thing, the lenses pick up light from any angle- so the full circle lens lights up, not half lit like i was expecting.

turn signal works good

for rouhgly 20 bucks, i cant complain.

OVERALL GRADE FOR PROJECT= B+

cheap mofo out.:Ownedd:

[Maiku240sxS14]

Not my cup of tea...looks very cheesy. But to each his own.

[ZX88]

uh +1 for effort but they are ugly as sin.

[Bushido]

oh no..
you didn't..

[don_bagz]

not my style either, didnt like how it buldges out.. i mean, i guess because you can clearly see that you just stuck that thing over the tail lights.. but, hey, if it came out better than you thought, then, good job..

[duffman1278]

Ugly.....but you tried

[BlckBeautyVTEC]

yuck {msg lgth}

[gunmetalr32]

maybe at night they look better..... but at night everything looks better.....

[didderson]

HAHAHAHAAAAAAA You can't be serious? At least cut the trailer lights round and then cut your stock ones so the trailer lights are mounted flush inside... man this is WACK LOL

edit; I'm sorry but those bolt holes just kill it for me.

[s13boy89]

ugly as fuck

[bruceguy]

maybe at night they look better..... but at night everything looks better.....

lol, true

this car might crash and burn anyways..

[turbo_dreams]

Is this a joke?

[bruceguy]

HAHAHAHAAAAAAA You can't be serious? At least cut the trailer lights round and then cut your stock ones so the trailer lights are mounted flush inside... man this is WACK LOL

edit; I'm sorry but those bolt holes just kill it for me.

thought about it, i was suprised i could even drill the lens, these things crack so easily.

flush would of beter thou

[ryguy]

Be careful, Robocop might pull you over.

post pic for night shot !!

see how is looks...

[bruceguy]

Is this a joke?
smile, your on candite camera:ugh:

[bruceguy]

will do sir.

[mtx450]

....CANT

.......BREATHEEEEEEEEEEEE


hahahahahahahhahahahahaha

[zenki.life]

just like communism. lol

"good idea, bad execution"

but i think there is merit in your idea. just not with the stock tail lights. our tail lights look ghey no matter how you dress them up.

[waynehead05]

It looks out of place. But good effort.

[Wake]

uh why didnt you line everything up first? the circles are too high and the square is too low maybe if you actually centered everything like the kouki and r32 tails it would look better. A+ for effort but fail for exectution.

[Brian]

A+ for effort.

[urmyhero4now]

and an F for FAIL Brain lol.

holy shit..i was waiting for the punchline of GOTACHA....damn man i hope your like 12..and even then what the hell were you thinking?

[peetiewonder]

yeah dawg thats ugly ass piss.

a better way would have been to cut the lens completely off and then make ur own solid lens with the parts you want showing sticking through so its more flush.

[babowc]

WOW
lol

that looks like so much shit..
sick..

[i8yourfwd]

[coww-cho!!!!!]

it couldve worked..........he tried guys lol

[1quk240]

still waiting for it to Transform

[mazersx]

ugly but NICE TRY!!

[TNathe]

eh, i thought it was creative and interesting man and def 10xs better than spending $400 on a set of tails and it looks better than just masked taillights. Maybe do as what someone else said and cut the flanges off the trailer lights and sink them into the stock taillight. As Kat Williams says "without haters people wouldnt try to become better" :lol:

[BustedS13]

A+ for effort.

+1

my taillights are just a string of christmas lights, this is much nicer

[Future240]

Damn you guys are rough. How many of you naysayers actually have tried to make something like this?

[94_240sx]

Sorry, they don't look good at all. You just wasted a good set of tail lights. Someone could have used them.

[turbo_dreams]

Damn you guys are rough. How many of you naysayers actually have tried to make something like this?


Prob none of us, i just got the real thing, but i feel bad for being such an ass, i can see what you mean by putting that 400 to better use, but honestly, stock looks better man, but that's just my opinion

[r6_240sx]

At least cut the trailer lights round and then cut your stock ones so the trailer lights are mounted flush inside...Maybe he should've just left them alone.

[punxva]

next time, just buy koukis.... A for effort, Fail for looks and execution

[cured13]

Please take these off!!!

[bboyoracle]

hideous.....

[OBEEWON]

Oh snap. IFX Mike has nothing on you...

You should put HIDs in them.

[DreamN]

wow.... lol

[peetiewonder]

like i said, you could probably get em to work by creating your own lens. if i had a hatch i would try it. COUPE FTW!

[andisan]

DAM SO UGLY IM TEMTED TO BUY YOU THE ACTUALL JDM 180sx taillights for you BUT since you already have them tooooo bad..........Get a better job or get a second and even a third job and please quite beeing cheap.......I remember when i was poor buts thats cuz i was lazy.

SORRY but EPIC FAIL

CANT STOP LAUGHING.....HAHAHAHAHAHa

[AZ89two4Tsx]

Man dude those look pretty bad. I really hope you take those off.

[Sleepiedaze]

good job on trying to be original. just remember modify the car to YOUR liking.

[ex_out]

well, i like them.:fruit:

[Sileighty_85]

Reminds me of this 180SX i saw
http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i235/Neil_85/Misc/DSC02836.jpg

In gerneral I think it gay when ppl try to make their car look like a Skyline.

[DreamN]

rongfk did this awhile back. he did it properly though.

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a253/worangejuice/taillighrecopy.jpg


Here's a shot from his sig of how it looks at night

Reminds me of this 180SX i saw
http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i235/Neil_85/Misc/DSC02836.jpg

.

thats almost what i had in mind when doing this.

i might make a cover or something like in this pic.


anywho, are these kouki lights with covers? ebay lights wit covers?

[ReLiC]

don't waste any more money on this.

[DreamN]

lol they're trailer lights.

search for the oneline taillights. I'm sure those are the ones you actually want. they're a better example of how to do the whole R32 look on your hatch.

Whats wrong with stock tail lights? Just paint them red. thats what I did before I got my koukis

http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/6770/pic15wt3.jpg

[HPKMotorsports3]

man as long as u like it, its watever...

[xs240]

wow ur car is hot

[BustedS13]

i don't understand why people want their taillights to look angry or menacing or shitty or fugly or whatever it is they're going for. they're taillights. light goes on, people slow down.

[mtx450]

Honestly, those are dopealicious.

[Phlip]

I can't even lie or try to sugar coat this, these look absolutely horrible, no 2 ways about it...

Someone mentioned ronfg, here is his thread:
http://zilvia.net/f/chat/150794-my-custom-tails-what-do-u-think.html

Which became:
http://zilvia.net/f/chat/162484-my-custom-tails-what-do-you-think-part-2-a.html

... no worries, I did not like his either, even though he did what you did not in cutting and properly insetting the round portions, which is not as tacky as having them glued on the outside.

Try again.

See what he did here? He expressed his opinion without slamming the op. Is being cordial really that hard?

[Kouki_Love]

danmm man, sorry to say but i agree with everyone else.. they look like ass...

i would have spent that 25 bux playing the lottery.. :)

[DreamN]

Ronnie's look a hell of a lot better. Don't know if he painted his car yet or not, but if his car were painted a solid color and painted the taillights as well it'd look a hell of a lot better.

I like them, but would opt out for koukis if I had a hatch.

hey people, here is my long overdue update.

[wannabdr1ftr]

well you tried and thats all the counts..

[Silverbullet]

Someone did the same thing to their tail lights in like 2003 or 2004 and posted them here or Freshalloy. The same response was given then.

[BustedS13]

http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/6770/pic15wt3.jpg

this looks good. know why? because it's simple and well executed. when you're a 240sx owner and you over-complicate things, you wind up with gross shit.

a set of usdm tails polished to a mirror finish would look infinitely better than any of this shit ever could.

[Om1kron]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH A... I'm all about diy... but hahahahhaha omfg. wow. you're really doing it big.

[White Comet]

Damn you guys are rough. How many of you naysayers actually have tried to make something like this?
i do all sorts of diy projects, but i know when to not make something worse then what it was. i did a minor diy on my tails before going kouki, very similar to blackej7's
http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z64/white_comet/Type%20X/DSCN0162-1.jpg

[opponheimer]

I hope you've trashed those by now and got a new virgin set of s13 hb tails on your car..

[hOngsterr]

uh +1 for effort but they are ugly as sin.

Wow let me say it again for all the other 200 flame posts


super fucking fail

[i8yourfwd]

I need to stop clicking on threads with DIY and S13 in the title... :/

[240trooper]

LOL , only way you can make it look good is to cut the plastic and then put in the new covers so it all goes together, sorry drunk but still hahaha looks good at night ,thats about it sorry , nice try, good DIY, kinda like when ppl wanna go smoked tail lights and spray paint them black LOL

[HyperTek]

man that doesnt really look good overall, just lacks taste imo. You can do something better, just gotta be more creative.

Some real G gangsta stuff would have been to keep em stock, and build a LED board to fit behind them.

or do what i did on my rx7.. throw some round trailer LEDS
http://tunerbase.com/RX7/rain.jpg

[blackrms13]

so pretty much the turn signal is non functional.....
90% of the turn signal had been covered by spray [email protected]#[email protected]

[soreballz]

I never thought I would see a set of S13 taillights that are actually WORSE looking than those piece of shit chrome-housing altezza tails that you find on eBay.... Yet, here it is, right here on Zilvia.

Bruce... I am very sad for you.

[kalypso123]

round led's on the rx7 look tough... a little small tho, or is that me

[socal_kouki]

rps13's are attractive cars... the effort some people put forth to make their s13 look ugly is astounding.

but hey man.. it's your dream.. live it out.

[Ka24Power]

props for trying, but faking the funk ftl.

[Killa_D]

ohh no fucking fail lol tooo funny

[DDDsquad_s13panda]

stock tails FTW..

[S-Nation S13]

so i went to pep boys and found these
this is where you failed !!!!!!!! Are you serious !!!!!!

[smelly240]

i do not want.

i'll keep my koukis thanks.

[FaLKoN240]

At night, it looks like the bottom half of your taillights are immersed in water.

You should've spent the time making money, instead of those tails.

http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo358/gallardoman/IMG_0345.jpg

i dont understand a lot of things that bruce does

but i especially dont understand why he didnt remove the square sections of the round tail light trailer lenses he purchased. why not cut and sand them, then bond the round lenses to the tail light exterior


ive fabricated a lot of crazy things in my day, but this one really makes me think that bruce does drugs. lots of drugs. not weed or basic stuff, im talking he must huff fumes and shit like that to get ideas like this.

edit: hey bruce, do you have any interior shots of your car? i see you run different seats and harnesses, im curious what you suggest for making the s13 more safe. does anyone know if megan sells harnesses??? :)

wow, after that, i really would spend the 400$ on koukis...

could it be spent somewhere else? yes, my girlfriend agrees
but the fact is, they are kouki tails, they stay 400$ cause people want them... if u dont wanna spend money on it, get out of cars or buy a economy car like a civic.

:2c:

[aoiken3]

+1 on the effort.

[JohnJohn86]

FAIL BAD. why not just mask off 2 circle and 1 square and spray paint it black.

[sincity_sil80]

not to bash you or anything but this guys is right. i think the $400 would be worth it.

but whatever, do your thing.

Seriously though, if you would have just cleaned the stock tail lights, it would have looked a hell of alot better.

But whatever floats your boat lol

[slider2828]

should have bought these instead

http://www.ipexmotoring.com/tail/tl_s133d.jpg

Those tails look sick. Where can I buy them?

[WhiteTE72GT]

^^ Ebay slider..pretty cheap too, under $200 bucks. I was thinking of buying them but you need a good paintjob to pull it off, which I don't have, yet.

we see soooooooooooo oooooooooooo many stupid threads on zilvia, so ooooooooooo many stupid builds... but fuckin bruce is the man. i mean no fucking joke, the primer paint job with rustoleum paint and now this... he is the fuckin MAN to make shit that really makes me smile. Like other threads piss me off and make me depressed, but his posts are just past that... theyre awesome.


bruce, if we ever meet in real life i am buying you a beer my friend. keep up the good work because your threads are the bomb.

ps: where does he disappear to? he always posts and then disappears for a few weeks. makes me wonder... like in wedding crashers when will ferrell says "mom.... meatloaf......... what does she DO back there?"

i told him that bruce is so fucking awesome that he deserves his own teevee show. fuck pimp my ride, making it look fake-nice. if bruce had a show, he'd make cars look so fucking ghetto fabulous.


seriously............ his creations would be awesome to watch on tv or web. you should really consider doing shit like this. i for sure would subscribe and be a loyal follower. anyone else?

[Wake]

I cant beleive people are standing up for this guy, are you serious?
this is zilvia people i was afraid just to post here for like the first 3 years of being a member just cuz i saw how hard people get flamed here.

he shouldve expected it especially after saying koukis are too much.
if he had lined everything up first they wouldnt look like a pile of steaming ass, but he did it his way,as a million people have said before in this thread

to each their own

but this is what they shoulda looked like

hey guys let him be, if he wants to put fence post piping on the back of his exhaust tips, he can go right ahead.. opps wait.. lol

hes from socal!!! go to some 240 meets and you will have better influence than that! *well i cant say for the last few years, some peoples trend/tastes have been questionable*, but this is some janky stuff id expect from Wyoming or somewhere that never seen a tastefully modified japanese car lmao

I'd definitely be on that shit every day. it would be hilarious but in a good way,:eek3d:

I feel that we may be harsh at times, which is warranted, attacking someone in this situation would be cruel. Being a newer member, this is my feeling, as I was not here in the zilvia heyday of brutality...or so it was relayed.

[JDM_inspired]

im speechless... i like the "effort"

[sidedrifts13]

good jod brother great effort keep your head up and people always have opinions thats just how us humans are i am a drummer and people always critizies the way i play but that only motivates me to be better so dont worry everyone has different taste but one thing i learned from my experiences in life dont ever be cheap with what you do specially what you love, spend the money you need to make whatever your building or wearins etc. look pimp or just be patient take your time and go kill sometime doing something else I know we all get the itch to spray paint stuff on your cars but just save money to make your 240 look nice and clean...thank you ZILVIA all the guys on here are just being honest dont blame them or hate them just let them be...

[irax]

this HAS to be the best thread on zilvia... REALLY!

I was reading and i was like hmm... it might not turn out that bad... and then i saw he just screwed the trailer lenses to the lights AND THEN just spraypainted that shit.

well... if he's going for the junkyard dog look... well... he's got it!

the first two pages I was wondering when Mr.Clearcorners was going to chime in, because this is taking away business from him... Clearly the new trend *cough* I mean old trend of half assing shit is going to ruin Mike... YOU ARE TAKING FOOD AWAY FROM MIKES CHILDREN (OR IMAGINARY ONES) STOP THIS CRAP! What were you going to buy with that $400 bucks anyways? used megan coilovers? the best thing you could of done for that poor car was actualy put decent set of tail lights. Shit... the ebay atezza's aren't that bad looking *blah blah blah* china i don't want to hear it, they are not bad looking.

LOLOL!

[ixfxi]

budget=25 bucks

so i went to junkyard and found nice stock tail lights

i like this

that it. the above quote is a fucking recipe for disaster.

pretty much anytime you go to pep boys, you're in for a fucking disaster.

[irax]

i think there needs to be Best of Zilvia button... or atleast a weekly article on the front page or something.

Those tails are sickness.

[HyperTek]

^those are the notorious kouki 180sx tail lights *with something around the tails*.. very nice.. best of the best designed for the car perfectly . only real ballers rock em... others cheap out for ebay euros due to trend.

[Wake]

my suggestion:
1) Buy the D-max altezzas so you have brand name rep, or ebay knockoffs an tell everyine they are dmax, lol
2) Mask off the 2 circles
3) Mask a square centered over the orange blinker in the middle.
4) Paint
5) dont post pics on zilvia cuz people will talk shit.
6) rock em as hard as you can and shit on anyone that talks shit.

no those arent "kouki 180sx tail lights *with something around the tails*" they are a taillight kit that i used to know the name of but since i got my external hard drive stolen i lost most of my info. I think someone said one of the brands that makes em earlier in this thread.

Im confused at this statement, first of all you are saying crap like this will take money from clearcorners? HAHA well aside from the fact that cleacorners has super clean quality work, his shit is quite pricey so i dont think his kids, even if they are imaginary, are goin hungry anytime soon.

but the funny thing about your post is your telling him to go buy ebay crap in the same breath. uh yeah its made in china and thats why everyone downs it. how are you worried about an americans profits and telling people to buy chinese at the same time? :loco:

anyway thats my nickels worth.

http://i41.tinypic.com/2h4jdyq.gif << We don't have this smiley.. desperately needed for this thread. If I saw that out on the street.. that's exactly what I would do..

Also, you guys are all stupid.. fuck his ghetto ass shit, fuck stock, fuck red/clear, fuck kouki (not really, they look nice).


JUST GET A COUPE
:fawkd:

[Wake]

haha yeah i could second that, im on my 4th and 5th coupe already lol

[HyperTek]

i had kouki tails, those are kouki tails with some sort of eyelid around em.

[wgJoY]

just lol.

You people are ruthless lmao

[Wake]

i had kouki tails, those are kouki tails with some sort of eyelid around em.

no....... they arent..... sorry, look at em real close and youll see the differences
The circles are different shape (koukis are concave, these are convex)
The turnsignal on koukis is split into 3 strips. those signals are solid.

[240sxrb25]

holy crap those are bad. btw, whats with the tailpipe?

dude, epic fail

[Wake]

uh thats called a glasspack as a muffler lol, my buddy actually did that on his sr but he made a straight pipe tip, actually sounded/worked well and didnt look like ass.
Thats glasspack as a muffler tip lol just plain fail

[irax]

wakeBHR its called sarcasm. of course DIY crappy tail lights won't effect Clearcorners business. But I did mention the atezza's because anything other than what he did would look better. lets be honest now, it doesnt matter if he buys ones that come in a box that has the origin bunny on it or not its still manufactured by the same company.

[drift freaq]

Ah excuse me unless you had a slip up in your wording or a brain fart when you were typing? Kouki tails are not concave in fact they are convex. No one makes a taillight that is concave. It would be rather strange looking. All taillights are either flat or Convex.

Now if you are trying to say the taillights posted by Hypertek are Onelines? I highly doubt it. Oneline has been out of business since before 2001. I have never seen anyone rocking a set of Oneline's on a car that's newer than pics circa 1999.

Just not going to happen. Those are in fact covers for the Kouki's you can buy in Japan. I know I amost had my friend in Tokyo pick up a set for me. Still might.

The reason you cannot see the yellow in the middle is because the angle that pic was taken at and the size of square. Sorry you do not have laser eye sight. LOL

Oh and as far as buying ebay tails and telling someone they are DMax? LOL They fucking are Dmax, All the Altezza's, Dmax, Uras, Hipposleek, etc... come out of the same factory and the factory stamps their manufacturing name on them in the plastic. LOL I have seen enough different sets of them.

Oh and I have seen enough sets of Kouki tails as well to tell when I am looking at real Kouki tails as well. That is what happens when you sell the stuff.

[500Coupe]

:rofl: You have GOT to be kidding!

[SriLanka]

uh +1 for effort but they are ugly as sin.
I'm going to have to agree, not the best looking DIY project.

[Chernobyl]

dont worry- im going to replace the top brake light.

Oh I'm not worried.

uh no Im saying the pic that I posted is of onelines, I dont see any posted by hypertek

first of all thats Nob taniguchis car and those taillights have been on his car for years (at least since 2002), now if you want to go ask if he can get a hold of onelines be my guest but im willing to bet your left testicle that he can get a pair and that those are the genuine article. yes we all know that onelines arent being produced anymore. that doesnt mean they dont exist. thats my opinion and im sticking to it.

and the whole ebay thing was me trying to be sarcastic as well about the fact that you could lie and say they were dmaxs and no one would know. apparently sarcasm doesnt translate well over the net for any of us lol

Aaaaand yes when I said that kouki tails are convex I was very much having a brain fart. sorry we got good shit in Norcal lol

[irax]

what dave is saying about the ebay tail lights is you don't have to lie. because what you buy on ebay is the same thing you get when you order dmax tailights, is the same thing you get when you order origin. Not the same as they look exactly the same, they are the same as in they are all made in one factory. so when you buy the ebay tail lights, if you were to say they are hipposleek, or dmax you would not be lying.

uh no Im saying the pic that I posted is of onelines,

no, they are not oneline tail lights. they are 96-98 180sx w/ covers.


onelines look significantly different. i'll post pics of them if i get over this shitty bullshit bachelors party i unfortunately went to tonight.


fuck... nothing worse than seeing your friend marry a chick and lose his balls simultaneously. fucking guy had a bachelor party at a bar, no strippers, and his fiance was there. i am so fucking depressed.

[irax]

its not a bachelor party if the fiance is there.... why don't people understand that? if your not going to have one, don't pretend to have one. seriously you are going to spend the rest of your life with that woman, one night will not fucking hurt!
