How do I clear the amber out of my tails like this? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Fidel Cashflo · 07-06-2010, 06:22 AM

I've seen a few pics of hatches with stock tails that someone cleared the amber section. Im trying to figure out how this was achieved.

Anyone?

buy aftermarket lights or use that red tape shyat

Z33dori · 07-06-2010, 06:43 AM

i think there is a thread on it somewhere on here. Check the archives maybe. If not just buy the tails off ebay or sonic motorsports

achieved by great taste, style, and quality craftsmanship of a northwesterner, namely a british columbian. you are from florida, you are bound to fail. the odds are against you young jedi. come to the dark side and buy altezzas.

Still havent found it. Florida cars shit on most of the cars of the east coast, asshole.

Si taillights? lol j/k looks neat. second best than the 180's

SlideWell · 07-06-2010, 12:51 PM

interesting responses. anyway, dont take it so personal. Im from Seattle and live in FL. but due to the general population here and what they are known for doing, i dont list that im in FL, so u gota understand why i poke fun.
ive seen a whiteup on this before as well, maybe on 240xsforums. that place is the mecca of DIY 240 stuff.

*!Zar!* · 07-06-2010, 12:52 PM

This norcal car shits on anything that you Failorida people can conjure up.

Those tail lights were taken apart and had the honey comb cut out or whatever, then that home depot shit was put in. There is already a thread asking about this. Just need to search for it.

EDT007 · 07-06-2010, 01:53 PM

Try following this..How To Make Half Red/Clear Tail Lights? : 240sx General Discussion. Seems like you just buy the clear lighting panel and trace out the existing piece. Goodluck.

Fidel Cashflo · 07-06-2010, 04:33 PM

Thanks everyone for the help. Im gonna try and do it this weekend.
