Skyline Taillights

I need to change my tail lights. The ones I have installed are real dim and get stopped all the time... Should I put in some R34 Tails or what? It will be a custom install anyway. What do you guys think I should install?

The Skyline tailights would look pretty good in your case, or maybe you can find some Ferrari tails, lol. $$$

Wow, that car looks a lot like a pick-up truck from the back.

R34 tails look a bit different. I'm not a big fan though.

all I have to say is sick...they look more like impala tail lights to me. Plus I think you should leave those type of lights where they look best. On an impala or a skyline.

Why bother with Skyline tail lights, which are probably pretty pricey. There have been many Chevys with round tail lights that you could surely find for less. Hey didn't Rx-2s or 3s have round tail lights?

Not making fun of your car, but I'd invest in a paintjob before I worried about how the tail lights look.

Not if he's driving it now and it's getting him tickets.

yep, and the piston engined counterparts had squared taillights.

round taillights,,, maybe ? if your good with body work, then it's wide open.

Me, i've got some shelby taillights (fomoco) everything except the flasher can
that makes them go in sequence. but i don't know,, there pretty long and would go almost all the way across the back of the car.

My opinion is this..... on a rounder looking car, they would look ok. Kinda like a round hole - square peg. Square peg being the car.

I have to fix the problem with the dim tail light before I paint it. I tried the brighter bulbs with just a little help. I need to swap them out. Getting some tail lights shipped from japan.
