What taillights fit?
I'm looking to redo my taillights....what (if any) other kinds of taillights could fit into a 85 1st gen...

I've seen the clearlenses mod, I've seen v8kiler's custom lights...What other mods are out there...Pictures Please!

Thanks

I dont want to rice it out, but my left one is terrible and instead of looking stock, I want to see if there is any other GOOD looking alternatives.

No pics, sorry. I saw it a long time ago, before I started taking pics.


Personally, I just want to do the clear tailight mod, with nice 2-step LED's like the ones Manntis was selling..

no.. not selling anymore.. supplier issues.

there is a guy on the forum with Integra tailights molded into the back of his TII. cleanly done, but still looks kinda goofy.

Some ideas that might be kinda cool... Ferrari 308 taillights maybe? If you could get a setup liek the Lincoln MK VIII LSC's that would be schweet! I've always liked those.... you're on your own beyond that.

Vette lights are recessed so that wouldn't go over so well..

now that my car is in storage i have the tailights out and disasembled. I was thinking of painting a outline of something, like vines or a flaming rotor... whatever.

should be cool when im done, give suggestions on what I should design into the taillights.

I'll second that. The stock taillights are perfect the way they are.

I just want the stock tail lights to look black when they're off... Maybe round like the 89-91 RX-7's... But smoked Black mainly.
