Tail light convension., Tail light... Options

[doGGy]

How about this tail light convension? What do you think? I'm planing to do something like this to my celi.

[1bwilson]

Why not just do a supra conversion?

[JWalk1818]

TOO MUCH MONEY FOR THE POOR MAN! LOL I think I agree with Wilson why not jsut go ahead and do the supra lights. YOu would have to have them molded and all but I think you can buy aftermarket altezza for them if you desire and the would be alot cheaper than gettin JDM ones but prob def not after molding. BUT HEY IT WOULD LOOK SWEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTT!

[iburnslabs]

i think supra lights on celica looks hedious, i like his idea! looks phat

[JWalk1818]

Anythign pretty much except the STOCK ones looks good LOL. Actually I really liek the overlays if they cover the whole thing!

[Coomer]

That conversion is very unique, but I think I like the Supra tail-light conversion a lot more. I saw a S2000 tail-light conversion on a pink hatch once and the conversion itself looked pretty good.

[JWalk1818]

Does anyone have a good estimate on a complete Supra Tailight conversion?

[Coomer]

I heard somewhere that someone paid around $1000 plus paint for the conversion. I'd ask some experienced bodyshops in your area if they can do it and how much it'd cost.

[RedSunCelica]

this may sound wierd but why not do a 3rd gen RX7 j-spec tail light conversion i think those would look more unique and bolder then the supra lights

[screecher]

Does ne body know where you can get the supra lights?? that was the next mod i was gonna do depending on the price

does ne one have a pic of the rx7 lights loaded on a celica???

[Mizuryu]

dude....i think those lights are hella phat...extremly original..you prolly won't see anyone with those...hell i want em' now

[trdcelica99]

those lights are tight lookin, but i personally would go with the supra conversion, but honestly i really like my stock lights i'd rather use that money to beef up my engine

Yeah, If I had a $1000 I'd buy new shocks or rims. I really like the look of the hatchback tails, especially when they're redded out. Those lights at the top of this page are very original though. They remind me of retro-style tail-lights.

[doGGy]

Jo, i just got back from HELLA and one bodyshop, and i got some prise list: All convension will cost me about 350$ (with paint and these round LED tail lamps and atc.). So i will go for it.
What about Supra lights convension, no thanks, it looks kind weird to me... i'd rather use civic coupe tail lamps instead of supra...

Man.... those taillights looks wicked !!! Go for it !

[JWalk1818]

What about the wiring of the lights. Waht all would you have to do in that department?

[JStanger]

Those look sweet but you would probably looking at $1,000 plus just for the body work.

[doGGy]

It's simple: you just cut all the standart wiring and the start thinking... in 1 LED lamp were are 4 wires (2 to LED's and 2 to stop or turn signals) All the LED wires conected togewer will be tail lights, and stop signals will be conected to stop sign.

[doGGy]

All convension (LED lamps,bodywork, lamps, painting, ant so on) will cost me about 350$ only!!!!

[JWalk1818]

How so cheap?

[doGGy]

How so cheap?

One LED ring with inside stop or turn signal cost (in HELLA shop) about 40$. So 6 lamps 240$. And in our country body work is kinda cheap. Everything (including painting, paint, form making, filling, primering) will cost me about 100$. So... Is it bad? Or what?

[NEVERSTOP]

This wouldn't work...
You would have to cut into the trunk lid to make this mod work and after about 3 months of closing your trunk the lights would be cracked.... Body flex is a bitch!

As for the Supra conversion that just looks like crap tucked into the back of a Celica.
Don't get me wrong I love the way a Supra looks... That's why I drive a Celica (poor mans supra).... But I would NEVER put supra lights on a Celica. As for the conversion origanally posted it reminds me of a 1950's ass end.

I think the s2000 conversion has a little potential.

no way, dude. check out oreo's back end....it definitely kicks ass. made everyone think twice bout if it was a supra or not......
here's his ride (hope he doesn't get mad....)

any conversion will look like crap if its not done properly.....

[iceman23]

Now the Supra tails are sweet, they definitely look better than the ghetto clear tails 6g owners manufacture themselves (no offence to those who have made them!!). Has anyone taken a different approach to constructing their own?? Mine are still in the process, but so far I have a clear outside shell w/ 4 red, rounded, 80-count LED's displays (they use them on 18 wheelers here) that look quite similar to the Supra's, but they will differ in the fact that they will wrap the rest of the way around. Then I'm going to have clear/white smoked round reflectors on the inside.....((RED-RED-CLEAR-----CLEAR-RED-RED)) with clear amber signals on the outsides. All I really have left is to secure the bulb sockets and make sure there's no loose light scattering. Anybody attempted something similar??

Those look a lot better than other Supra conversions that I have seen.

[macavely]

those tail light are just sick.

[iceman23]

If you just can't break bread for the Supra taillight conversion, or you don't really care for' em, take a gander at this link: http://www.partssystems.com/shop/products....ry_id=LED%20STT. This is just one of the companies that produces LED's for your automotive desires. I'm in the process of doing something quite similar right now as I posted earlier and it's fairly less time consuming and less hassle than the Supra conversion. Also on the positive side, you can customize it however you like. This site has 44-56 count LED displays which are pretty good, but the one's I used are 80 count. Enjoy!!

[x_itchy_b_x]

[Black97]

I dont like them too much, supra's look better. Anybody know where to go to get the supra tail light conversion done? and how much it is?

i got Supra tails molded and frenched on mine....looks sick as hell........check out my profile...

[FallenHero]

It's easy. Get somebody you know to do it for fun.

[all4sho94st]

drool supra tail lights. Hey oreo what kinds of modifications did you have to do to the rear end to get them in.

[Guest_Matthew_*]

1000 bucks for the first conversion compared to the supra lights. I would go with the supra lights too. But the only way that i would do that is if i could change the headlights too. That would be tiiiigggght.

My friend matched the supra rear bumper to the trunk lid. Trimmed the lid to fit the lights. Welded plates on each side and strap the bumper to the welded plate. Then he welded plates underneath where the lid was trimmed...to patch the gap. Paid him $600....thats including patching my dings and shaved side markers.

[0Re0]

The s2000 will look better on a celi ...check this eclipse

[all4sho94st]

yeah the s2k is pretty nice this guy who lives like 30 minutes away from me has that conversion, i've seen it like once, you guys have prolly seen it around celica.net its like a magenta color, he was in superstreets's riders ride, he was ride of the month.
