Been looking around a while for 180sx tail light. Seen prices between $550-650. Just wondering how much would you guys pay for a complete set? New/used set? Does anyone have em for cheaper?

I got mine at nismoparts.com around 2 years ago. I think management changed and haven't checked their website to see if they are still available, but the last I checked it was a very different site. Shipping was about $30 and you'll have to find a place to color match the undergarnish panel.

Make sure the kit includes:
Left Taillamp
Center reverse light section
Right Taillight
Undergarnish
New lock core and key
Gaskets

All of these parts are required for a straightforward swap. I know several kits used to just include the three light panels which will not fit with the stock under garnish since the angle on the lights is slightly different. Also the profile of the lights curves out a bit instead of flat so the stock key core becomes recessed almost an inch with the new panel.

Also the wiring harnesses line up, however they are different sizes so you will have to cut and crimp the wires together. Ironically the half clear bumper lights are plug and play. Anyone know if the JDM 91-96.5 180sx lights have the same harness as the USDM fastbacks or or the type x lights? Odd that they would scale the harnesses different when everything else is a direct fit.

I ordered mine from nismo parts about a week and half ago and they came yesterday. It was $457.20 for the lights (it's the full kit) and $45.72 for FedEx ground shipping. The lights came a lot faster than I expected, so I was really pleased. Also, just like 240 2NR said, you just need to splice the stock taillight plugs onto your new ones and it plugs right in. Overall, really a simple process, and they look great and unique (around here anyway).

there is no such thing as type-X lights. I sentence you to be burned at the stake.

ROFL you guys should just give up, I mean in a way they are Type-X lights, they are also Type-S Type-G and so on.

So its not like the type-x didnt come with the lights, its just that the type-x wasnt the only one too.

Its a fight you guys will never be able to win, becuase for every new person, and even some of the old ones, someone will say type-x in what you consider to be the wrong manner.
