Heheh well guys to each their own, but! To say the least, if you particiated in the rumor thread about the 4th gen and saw some of the concept drawings down by our very own forum members, some of them drew pics with the rear light being shaped like rotors (that's how I thought of this idea). I think it was HedgeHog

i just wired my lights up to where all three circles are on i dont have rear blinkers now but it looks cool
im going to change it back tomorow i think becouse i need my blinks but i was just messing around to see how it would look
and about changing the lights around thats a great idea i dont really like the rotors but it would be cool to have like rx7 or somthing like that
all you would have to do is go to a sticker shop and have them make you what you needed

I just did my tailight conversion and I made the blinker red along with my brake lights. So now instead of 2 red lights and one amber, they are all red. I used Candy Apple Red translucent spray paint (u can get it at walmart for like $3). I did a light coat first, let it air dry for about 5 mins. Then went over it again very lightly. Keep repeating untill you have a dark red color. Use the same technique for any color you want...its very simple.

i dont know how good a heat gun would have done but i think you could even do it with out a hair dryer

I did a quick paintshop job to show you guys what I mean. I think it looks rather bad ***. Of course I dunno what to do about the turn signals, but hey, one step at a time here.

Just got mine done 2 days ago. Looks really nice too. Kinda a PITA in my opinion...just the painting though. I'll post a pic when I get home. I used a heat gun and paint my dad had. Bought some lamenent contact paper(1.99), used a razor and went to work. Stayed up till 6:00am to finish them and put them back on my car. Put up a pic when I get home.
Theres something peaceful working on ur car at 5 in the morning. LOL!
