Still need to do more work around the border of the logo because some light gets through the black area.

[genericforumname]

This is both entirely pointless and also pretty neat, I approve. I would assume a few people would be interested in a write up if possible.

[ta2maki]

new?

http://www.clearcorners.com/products/nissan/s13/r_qtrglass/led_park1.jpg

[Bullitt_180sx]

Not new as in never been done before, new as in new to me mod that I did myself. Mine also cost $60 as opposed to $1200 from clearcorners. Mine is also a nice even light, not some tacky looking LED board.

[zombiewolf513]

That's crisp. Looks good! Much better than that clear corners BS

[brndck]

could you PLEASE take some decent photos???

[racepar1]

You're putting home-built lighted 180sx quarter windows on your 240sx...


HOW is that any less tacky than professionally built LED's???

[Bullitt_180sx]

could you PLEASE take some decent photos???

I know the photos suck lol, but it was dark and raining, and the only good battery I have at the moment is in my hardbody so not much choice. Also the flash killed the light up effect. Will try to get some better ones.

HOW is that any less tacky than professionally built LED's???

Because the LEDs look like garbage because you can see every little diode. My concept is more closely related to the OEM optional illuminated quarter window panels that the silvia models got since the 180sx didn't get that option. Yes, they are going onto a 240sx, however, it is a RHD, blacktop SR, working HICAS, ABS, and cruise control. I have done every bit of the work myself. Whole chassis stripped down and bed lined underneath, and every single thing restored to like new condition. It is being completely factory restored with complete kouki OEM aero, full kouki interior, and literally almost every single OEM nissan option offered for the chassis. It is to become a weekend/cruise car. After having 6 hatches over the past 10 years, I have started respecting the car a lot more. It's more to me than a beat to shit track only car like most other examples. I'm not trying to impress anyone with my car, it's built specifically for me. That's why this forum isn't cluttered with pics of my car even though there is so much work involved and it's is a higher quality than at least 75% of the hatches on here.

What the hell do you mean by "professional", the shit from clear corners is also home built shit by some guy. The only difference is he only performs those mods on brand new equipment, which makes his quarter windows $1200 and mine were waaaay less than half that even with buying the windows used.

I think for $1200, they could look better than they do is all I'm saying. At least use a diffusing layer so that you can't just see the separate diodes, that looks tacky and unfinished. And you know yourself and everyone else that owns a hatch would have loved that shit of it lit up from the factory lol.

Same with their low rise headlight kit. That shit is about $2000!!! I did mine for like $150, and they don't look homemade. My idea behind these type of mods is to make it look like they could have been factory.

Headlight prototypes: these are very old pics, car is totally different now.

You gotta be an idiot to spend 1200 dollars just to have the lettering on your window light up... That cost the same as the damn car!:barf:

I like your style of thinking ( mostly because it resembles mine and I am doing the same to my s14)

I like what you've done. it is battery powered or Where is it wired to? Are you just running a switch/button or will it stay on when ignition is on or when your headlights are turned on?

This is bad ass mod. You got some skills.

[CrimsonRockett]

Just funny how most people don't realize Mike at clearcorners did those for his own S13 with no intent to mass-produce them. He decided to throw them up on his website to see if anyone was stupid enough to pay a ridiculous amount and have them made.

Johnny, thats not exactly true.

Nothing I build or offer is mass-produced. During my restoration, I had the opportunity to replace the quarter-glass with new glass and decided to take a shot in modifying them. When not lit, the glass shines chrome, like stock. There is no way to tell that they are modified in any way. This is something I am very proud of and one of the many details that my customers appreciate.

That's the exact reason I did mine. I wasn't trying to knock your work, I was just a little put off by some of the comments from people. Your work is exactly what inspired me to do these, I just never was a fan of the LEDs. They look good, just take away from the "factory looking" aspect I was after. Thank you for doing them though because it gave me the idea to try a DIY myself.

I wasn't directing any hostility toward you or your work.

[Bullitt_180sx]

That's because it's dark, the important part is the light up portion, not the dark part. The windows aren't installed yet anyway.

[Bullitt_180sx]

I like what you've done. it is battery powered or Where is it wired to? Are you just running a switch/button or will it stay on when ignition is on or when your headlights are turned on?

It runs off 12v. It will be wired to the rear side markers since I am deleting them anyway so they will light up when the running lights are on.

[BiG MiKE86]

What did you use to acheive this look? Lets see what the back of the glass looks like :) more info pleeeeeeezeee

[anti tyler]

I'd just be curious of the legality of driving with this illuminated. Of course laws very state to state, but I haven't really witnessed any vehicles driving around with lighted letters on the sides of them. So that leads me to the assumption that it's not legal. Before anyone bashes me, realize that I said assumption.

Still a neat idea though, have to give you that.

No offense taken. I respect anyone who attempts to do things on their own. Anyone can sit on their ass and talk, very few actually get their hands dirty and put in work.

As far as pricing goes, if you were to open up a shop and operate a business - you would immediately understand just how quickly the parasitic costs of running shop add up. Many shop owners can attest to this, which is reason why so many businesses open/close, and why so many customers get taken for a ride when that shop fails. I started my company in 2000 and am very thankful to work with good customers which is why my shop still exists.

One thing I will clarify however, is that you cannot see the individual LEDs in the quarter windows. What you are seeing is the diffuser. My product uses a multi-layer diffuser which allows it to appear stock during the day (chrome) and shines the proper color when illuminated.

My apologies. I did say it a bit more bluntly. I do recall you having bought new glass since your original quarter-glass was scratched. As always, I feel that people need to see your work first-hand to really appreciate the attention to detail. As an owner of some of your lighting, I can't see myself going with anyone else for any LED work. This is definitely one of those situations where you get what you pay for.

[Munki]

hahahahaha I bet it does! lmao

[Bullitt_180sx]

More pics added

[foreverdeath]

want to see this too. looks like you used an EL panel behind the glass to light it up.

[Bullitt_180sx]

That's exactly what I used.

[dopplganger1]

What were the measurements of the el strip you used & where did you get them?

[Bullitt_180sx]

They were 1-1/4" by 12" but can be cut to any length. Got them off ebay.

[foreverdeath]

Used them to do light up the gauges on the custo cluster I made for my civic but never got to finish the project. How hard is it to do with the windows still on the car?

[Jersthecool]

Love how people hate on you for these. Well done, I think they look good. Not knocking mike at clearcorners or anything but from the pics I'd rather run yours as like you said, you can't see the individual leds. Looks much cleaner imo.

[BiG MiKE86]

Where did you buy that big led panel? whats it called?

[foreverdeath]

I bought it on adafruit.com I think its a 4x4 Iirc. But I deffintly like the el lighting for this over LEDs.

[BiG MiKE86]

"El lighting" lol I thought u kept having a typo - wtf is an el lighting?

[Bullitt_180sx]

Electro Luminescent Lighting. Like the shit they used for Tron suits.

[funes]

interesting work

[Bullitt_180sx]

It isn't an LED panel

[BiG MiKE86]

It isn't an LED panel


Thanks for the info. After googling it now I understand what EL Lighting is lol

Did you just put a piece behind the letters or did you black out some of the panel?

It's impossible. Windows have to be out unless you can modify the B-pillar frame to get to them from behind.

Whoa, easy there Florida. The bottom line is that I think that lighted shiny trinkets are cheezy, whether they are yours or Mike's. I also think that re-badging your 240sx as a 180sx or Silvia is cheezy. One thing that I DO know though is that Mike's parts are of the absolute highest quality possible. You basically straight out bashed on his shit and acted like yours was far superior in every way. Not the case. Do you know how much a brand new set of 240sx quarter windows costs? They're about $600, Mike's windows are $1200, do the math. The price isn't really as bad as you guys want to make it sound.

[mechanicalmoron]

You're putting home-built lighted 180sx quarter windows on your 240sx...


HOW is that any less tacky than professionally built LED's???

...how is home built the important factor? He made it look way cleaner than they did. I mean, if you don't have a pretty clean car converted to 180, it might be obnoxious... but way better than that crap from clearcorners (or than anything from them, for that matter).

Anyway, write-up for the lazy and unimaginative among us?

Your opinion on what's cheezy (or cheesy, which is correct spelling) doesn't matter to me. You do know they are the same car right?? The only notable difference between the two chassis' is that the USDM chassis has 2 solid frame rails and the JDM chassis doesn't. Other than that, it is only the badging that is different.

What I still don't understand is. If this was a factory option from nissan like the silvia illuminated window panels, would it be as cheesy, or is it just the fact that I modified something that didn't make my car perform better?

Is it cheesy that our gauges light up, or that our radio buttons/HVAC controls light up? Hell, is it even cheesy when people change the bulb color of those things to better suit them?

I guess I'm not understanding your point, if you had one at all California.


By the way, referring to people by the state they are from because you think you are better than they are is cheesy as fuck.

[Reece]

And the motor... and lots of exterior things... and lots of INTERIOR things... and the 180 is RHD whereas the 240 is LHD...

Yeah, totally the same car.

[Munki]

Who cares? Lol

[zerodameaon]

You clearly have not been on Zilvia long enough to see the ridiculous stuff your state posts that allows us to refer to you by your state. Anyways this thread has gone to shit fast especially after you bash Mike, then try to play it off like you didn't after he confronts you.

Oh and if I am not mistaken later S13s had both frame rails in Japan, but that still does not make their only difference badging.

[Bullitt_180sx]

And the motor... and lots of exterior things... and lots of INTERIOR things... and the 180 is RHD whereas the 240 is LHD...

Yeah, totally the same car.

That was my point. If you had read my earlier post, I have already changed all of those things. There isn't one thing left that I can change. Also, I said chassis, everything you mentioned besides being LHD or RHD has nothing to do with the chassis. By that logic, zenki and chuki S13 are completely different cars because they have a different front bumper....

Ridiculous stuff comes out of every state, I will admit a lot of it comes from florida lol. And I wasn't bashing Mike personally, or his work. I will say I was bashing his prices because they are just extremely high, but I'm not saying he doesn't do good work. I was using "shit" instead of "stuff" while referring to his pieces because I was worked up by some of the earlier comments. I wasn't calling his pieces shitty.

This thread is full of everyone else's opinions, why are mine so off base?

I haven't done a write up because there isn't much to put in it.

1. buy EL Strip from ebay or other vendor. Make sure to get 12v. Inverter type.
2. Adhere said EL Strip to back of window with tape or other adhesive.
3. Wire red to 12v, wire black to ground.

Done.

Well, to wire it correctly is SHOULD be wired into the running lamp circuit somewhere. You know, so the lights come on with the headlights/running lamps. Also, I would suggest you find some way to adhere it to the window in a more permanent manner. Last, what does it look like in the daytime with the lights off? Done properly it should look stock in the daytime which would require some sort of one-way mirror type material.

It really doesn't sound like you put much thought or effort into this IMO. This plays directly into the clutches of my "homebuilt" comment earlier in the thread. I could applaud the effort, regardless of the fact that it's a mod that I've got no interest in, but I just don't see that kind of effort or craftsmanship.

^because it's just a prototype at the moment, nothing permanent because I'm still trying to find the best way to do it. Also, I still have to figure out a way to make them accessible when the windows are installed. Mine will be wired to the rear side markers since I am deleting those anyway, but some may prefer a switch or other method. That's why I gave no specific details about where to wire it up. The stock chrome material is all that's used, it already is a one way mirror material. So in the daytime it's still shiny. These are just for me, not to sell, so to each their own as to how they want to hook it up. Also, you don't want to permanently adhere it to the glass in case it fails and you need to replace it.

Yeah, lets keep pulling quarter glass windows out every time the cheap chinese LED strip decides to fail, or when the LED strip falls out of place because you don't adhere it properly.

Summer is coming.

Summer is coming.

Ya it's funny how they manage to have it about the same time every year huh?

It will be securely attached, but not permanently because eventually it will need to be removed.

LOL!

Honestly I'm more concerned with the amount of thought and effort put into the project. It DOES SEEM like OP is at least thinking about it, after the necessary info was bludgeoned out of him. It DOES NOT seem that the thought has been completed at the moment though. I'm not very tolerant of a lack of effort, either in the project or in the thread posted about the project. I'm even less tolerant of someone bashing on a quality product strictly because of price, ESPECIALLY when their "product" is not truly completed itself.
