Those tailights look cheap in most cases... i suggest you dont buy them as you will be ruining the look of your car...

To my knowledge, no one makes them thankfully. Also, if you plan on putting Euro Style Taillights on a 240, I suggest you become DeviousHonda_Civic and sell the 240.

omg wow the first time someone has asked about there ahhaah. yeah thankfully apc has left the good respected cars untouched with their gay lights. notice how they dont make any tails for the supra, rx7, 240...yet they have them for every 4x4 truck ever made.

one would hope that they just assume poor sales and that it won't be worth doing a mold or a run of lights and they never make them for our car. : )

It will probley happen soon though, sadly :( due to the high demand of our cars :(

That reminds me, I remember reading about a honda owner that said altezzas were not rice, but trying to be like a different car is rice{ex: silvia conversion on civic} but my problem wit hthat is, why put altezzas on a car, just trying to be like a toyota, shhessh stupid rice. Rice belongs in a box and boiling water.

obx is coming out with projector headlight housing which might be kinda nice. Gotta see them before i judge, but why would you want to ruin the rear end of a 240. Very few cars look that good.

The 180sx which is the same as the 240 here in NA, have different tails then the 240... i think the 180 tails look better...

I used to frequent nismo.org. Someone there had a custom made 'euro tail-light' assembly for sale. Within a half of a day the thread was about four pages long (unheard of by nismo.org standards). Unfortunately, almost everybody wanted them. I think that was one of the reasons I stopped going to that forum. One user summed it up the best by saying, "One rice salesman, and a hundred people looking to buy rice."

First off, What FrEaK Said. Nah, He will sell the car, he cant cope w/ the winter. I WILL ALWAYS have a rear wheel drive Nissan sports car, at least for as long as they are being made, and considering how many 350Z's are flying out of my dealership, Im sure that rwd will be around for awhile. When it gets bad, Ill just jump in to my D21 4X4, or my wifes Xterra. If you could see where I live, youll see exactly why I need 4WD. Now as for why I want to mod my Tails? Just asking why they dont make them. Im not fond of the clear/chrome Euro lights, Carbon looks ok though. Im a mechanic, not a body man. I figured the carbon fiber euros were the most subtle change, without hacking the body to install. Iam not a ricer, Im a devoted Nissan Sports Car enthusiast. Ive owned 2 S13, and this is my first S14, not to mention my S12 V6 I had in High School. But anyhow, Thanks to everyone who replied

Josh

I tried to go there and locate that thread, but I couldn't find it. There were, however, several new threads asking where to buy 'euro' tails.

Well in my journey through the nismo.org forums, I stumbled onto a familiar name...... 7HE_DON!!!!!! check it out

Damnit.... I can't get the link to work....
