greetings i've made some clear taillights for my first gen and thinking about making them to sell....depending on the response. i have created some equipment to help produce these lights but will only make them if wanted, and time permits..this was a very timely and tiring exprience that i would only duplicate if it is worth it..let me know what you think.

 

those pics are ******* tiny, and another forum member has already done what you have done and he has a pictorial guide how to make them

not trying to burst your bubble but noones gonna buy these when there is a guide how to make them and it costs like 7 bucks to make

LoL...i tried the same thing greg...nobody will buy clear tails if you can make them yourself man

 

does anybody have any pictures of these lights being used in the day/night....i want to see how they look b/c i might do this instead of custom molding a different set of tailights in the rear end...thanks...parker

 

great link gregs, thanks for posting ..

 

not a prob man

 

clear tail lights! i hate hate hate hate them so much with a passion

 

does anybody have smoked tail lights that are still bright enough for road use? i think that would look cooler than clear... and I want to have a completly black FB (gonna tint windows over the summer)

 

Thank for the info... i had made these in St.Croix for the first time in 94, and was help by another rotory head...just didn't have the time to make a set for myself...thanks for the link though..and the support ...

not all people like the same thing...i hate red meat but most people like it and eat it everyday...and we wonder why we stay sick...

on another note not everyone has the time or patience to make there own lights, just trying a little thing....u kno...but once again thank you for your opinion(s).

 

if someone could make a mold that got rid of the reflector I would buy those in a second.

 

Well, it's really tough getting FIRST GEN owners to buy these. The people that DO like them tend to not want to spend money on them. So people like you, me, and BKM are screwed out of a lot of potential business.

Maybe ThriceRx7 will chime in here with his S5 style taillights (I think he removed those, though)

 

I have smoked tail lights, I used window tint spray paint paint for models. I took the plastic covers off (I broke one, and I had to buy a new set ) and sprayed the insides with a couple light coats. It looks completely black during the day, but you can still see a lot of light through them at night. I have a daytime pic; the white crap is from getting buffed.

 

nice im doing the same thing as we speak. so far im removing all of the old sealant.

 

I used the same set of instructions to build a set for this car and a set for my wifes brothers 1st gen. A lot of time goes into making them but it is far cheaper to build them yourself. Plus you get to say that you made them yourself. Here is the link to my car domain site i have pics of them turned on and with them off. You can see them clear as day at night but its a little harder to see the brake lights on in the day when the sun is pointing at your rear end. Other than that they are cool as hell.

holy thread ressurection batman.

 

Ya, really

 

Well we bitch at them when they dont search. At least this proves at least some of them are using the search function.

 

im not upset, its just like wow...and there is a thread abut this like two pages back.

 

Now Autozone sells LED bulbs for our cars for only around 16 bucks. GREATLY improves the look and visibility of the lights!

 

I dont think he's on here anymore Jay
