Tail light convension., Tail light... Options

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?

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

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......

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

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.

those tail light are just sick.

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!!

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.
