Tail Light Alternatives for S13 Coupe - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Mr. Foully · 01-30-2004, 03:41 PM

Sure, they're are scads of headlight and front clip options, and the fastback guys have a bunch of rear choices, but is there any other tail light that will fit an early coupe?

Here's the clearcorners.com lights, by olds13

I love these lights, but I'm poor, therefore i dont have them.

whats wrong with just letting it be?, why the urge to change em? just curious?

brianglawson · 01-30-2004, 04:43 PM

www.takakaira.co.jp go to accesories then go to projector lights etc and then go to ACTIVE they have some that look like Clearcorners but are cheaper and then they have some that are completly clear too.....

man I gotta start selling clear tail lights for 1100 US for the mk3 supra

another option is paint your tails red with testors candy apple paint

Mr. Foully · 01-30-2004, 08:24 PM

Thanks for the info, guys. I really do like the look of the OEM tail light, it's just that if I put on a radical front clip and change the rear spoiler, I'd like everything to match.

I dont mean to hijack this thread but what kind of bulbs can i use in the taillights if i want bitchin wicked awful super bright light back there?

matlock · 01-31-2004, 02:40 AM

Those active ones are pretty bitchin', I have always really been pleased by the stuff at Clearcorners.com, I just don't have that kind of money to spend on tail lights. I think the stock ones look fine as-is. I like the Red/Clear actives the most I think personally. I didn't realize there were that many coupe taillight options, maybe I just never really looked into it enough. Mr. Foully I live not to far from Milwaukee, its nice to see some Wisconsin action on here haha! W3RD!

Mr. Foully · 01-31-2004, 09:30 AM

You are correct Mr. Matlock, in that interest in 240's is rare in these parts... rwd & snow? Or simply a conservative demo still caught up in the Monster Truck fad?

Plenty of guys in CHI though. Hope to see you at one of their meets.

matlock · 01-31-2004, 01:24 PM

Yes, the beloved monster truck fad.....

, I Hope to make it to some meets and maybe some smaller local events and stuff. I am still running on an open diff, but I just want to practice legitimately you know what I mean?

$801 for tail lights?

am i reading this right..? i hope not

AAA240SX · 01-31-2004, 09:31 PM

That's a crazy amount of money for tails, I say stick wit da OEM...They're not so bad lookin neways.

I saw a coupe using integra taillights on CarDomain the other day. I wanted to barf...

twitchy · 02-01-2004, 02:52 AM

I want to take mine apart and put window tinting inside them if I can to make them appear darker "smoked" in the daytime and get some real bright bulbs to compensate at night...I wonder if that would darken it up with the way the reflectors work...

There is always skyline tails, don't really see what's wrong with the stock ones though, a lot better than many cars.

twitchy · 02-01-2004, 11:55 PM

i really want mine to just be very bright, like 2 or 3 times brighter than what I have now

xTylerx · 02-02-2004, 12:22 AM

LEDs are bright, get a couple thousand LEDs
