180sx tail lights?

[sasgha]

i was wondering where is the cheapest place i can find 180sx kouki type x tail lights (the round looking ones). what ive seen is around 500 bucks.does anyone know of a JDM junk or slavage yard either in the states, canada, Australia, or japan?

Thank you

That is abourt as cheap as you weill find unless you get super lucky on ebay..........

JDM junk yard in the States? highly unlikely.you might be able to get a set for cheap on ebay

ive heard of people getting JDM parts from this place in North Carolina, my friend got his turbo mr2 engine from them. i havent seen him for a while and i didnt ask him for a number when he told me about the place.

thanks for replies

it must have been like an engine importer i am guessing.

500 is cheap. Most of the places i've seen are 550+ for the lights.

i dont know what type of place it is, all i know is all they sell is JDM parts and stuff.

thank you all for your replies

Found this using Google.

Cliffsnotes on the research:

Nissan 180SX Tail Lamp Assembly with Harness$395.00 +shippingUsually ships in 3-4 days using UPS from Arizona, USA.No sales tax for non-Arizona customers.http://www.supercarauto.com

Now the only remaining question is, who wants to be the guinea pig?

(Note: The lowest I've ever seen these taillights commercially go for was about $330+shipping/tax but the site was quite sketchy as not many details were given. Sorry, lost the URL.)

Make sure you are getting all the pieces incl/ lower metal trim. Some places got low prices but what they don't tell you is that they just sell you the left and right lenses.

Good call. http://www.Jspec.com is the only place I've seen that definitely sells everything you need for this conversion. Not only do you need the lamps, you need the panels too.

$550 shipped, includes trunk lock and key as well.

http://www.autoimaging.com has them as well and http://www.srswap.com does too. If the price is low(250-400) you probably don't get the center piece or the lower metal panel. The tails are shaped differently than the stock 240sx tails, so those pieces mentioned above are needed.

yeah i know that i would need all the panels(center and bottom peices) if i was going to do it, i would do it right.

im a newby to this forum thing and i can say that im hooked on this and its such a great thing how all you people have helped me out and how much ive learned so far from all the posts that ive read.

Thank you!!!
