Left Side..



Right Side..



Sexy lamps, I was gonna sleep with'em but I'm afraid breaking'em so forget it...

What have you done to get 2 break lights? i have read something about a diode but can someone place a picture how to do it?

[tomazws]

I donno... it plugs straight in. I didn't do no mod. Maybe the last owner modded it...

Looks good

[rockstarbass1]

[Digndoug]

when you brake every one has two tails.. american style just are dimmer, I think.

[shin]

Good observation! Any way to hook up the middle brake light back up? Those things are life savers.

[Jaws4God]

They look great! I love that pic of the old and new so you can really see the difference

[tomazws]

This is why:

... love the drawing..

[AndyST4]

if you have a set of nut drivers you can use them instead of an open end wrench and then you can just pop the caps off

I think it is just a short circuit with rear anti-fog lamps - I have those tails straight from Toyota and the outer are stops, inner are antifog. If you short-circuit them - you get two stops.

[Kadett]

Alrighty then. Already had the pipe wrench bouhgt.

[hiero]

are you going to remove the amber

[urbandork]

this makes me want to buy jdm tails again. I guess i know what im spendin my tax refund on. besides my turbo.

[Slowrider]

for install the taillights i use somting like this,



i unknow the name in english.

[creis]

why do they even have separate kinds, why cant we get the hottie ones, we always get jacked when it comes to cars. it funny because its not like is any real diff. with them, just looks.

side note: I have a set of deep sockets for thoes kinda problems.

I just recently bought the same lights. They look really nice!! how do you remove the amber?

[tomazws]

I'm leaving the amber in there until I get sick of this lights ahahah..


Plus, I'm not sure how to remove it. I remember I saw an article that you have to cook the light in the oven and then pry the orange out or something. I forgot what the link is.

[droptopGT]

im more of a Curren man myself

[Kadett]

For the Orange bit.
Well there are 2 ways i have seen.
Oven methode
Keep it in the oven @ a certain amount of degrees then u can pop the glass off and remove the orange bit.

Soldering methode/Dremel
Use a soldering Iron or Dremel to cut out a big piece of plastic from below take out orange piece then use silicon to put the parts back together.

[chuag]

yea i think i'll leave the amber on there for now too...i like how it looks right now.

how do you put the glass back on for the oven method? glue??
