a question about the 'vert tail lights

[Blackcandle0]

well i just got a 93 240sx convertible and i was wondering if there is a website that has those aftermarket tailights for sale...i look all over ebay and always seem to come up empty handed. im gonna have to explain em because i cant even find a pic of em but i see a few of you do have them on. they are pretty simple....the bottom half is red and the top is clear/white. hope someone can help me out

thx

Strange... there have always been a ton of these on ebay. I just did a search myself and found none of them.

here's the auction that I just got mine from a few weeks ago. Perhaps you can contact the seller and inquire. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...71875

Welcome to the 'vert forum by the way!

I've always seen em on ebay but now I can't even find em. Maybe the manufacturer got shut down?

thank you for your input i have just emailed the seller and hoping to hear from him soon...

Here's how a lot of stuff like this works:

-Someone like Origin orders X number of pieces of taillight from some manufacturer in China or Taiwan.-Manufacturer makes 20% more than ordered, and sells the extra 20% to Ebay / knock-off sellers-Ebay sellers sell no-name versions of the real Origin, Fidanza, etc. stuff for a fraction of the price-Eventually the big brand name goes out of business due to being severely undercut by the knockoffs who do not have to do any R&D

We see this all of the time in the FWD SR20 scene; it's fairly common in the S-chassis scene, too. Anyway, I assume that's why the Ebay stuff goes in and out of stock.

I bought from G-Corporation when it first came out. Paid A LOT!!

Actually, those tail lights are being sold by D-Max, Final Konexion, Origin, Vertex, Kazama...etc. Now almost every aftermarket parts vendor/manufacturer in Japan sells them.

Honestly i dont want to pay $300 for em when ive seen them on ebay in the past for $99

Deja Vu....

It's like I've read this same exact thread once before...

Just wait it out. They'll be back on ebay in a while. Keep searching. They come in waves.

There back.

Is it just me, or do these things keep getting cheaper?

[Eikon]

I paid $136 shipped a couple months ago when I ordered mine. This is the same as the current deal.

But I recall these lights being well over $200 in the past. They are certainly coming down in price as time goes.

the quality doesnt seem terrible, its only a piece of glass

but I would like to do something more unique for my tail lights,

Ive seen people with these before and its starting to feel predictable.
