Well, I was recently looking at the lighting options for my S13, when i stumbled across these awesome JDM taillights. my question is they say that they are from the JDM 180SX, but ive seen the Japan 180sx and it doesnt have these lights. the reason i ask is because these people want 600 dollars for these lights, and right now for me thats a bit steep, so if these are also on the 180SX from Jap., id like to know so i could get them from Ebay or elsewhere, cause i cant afford to lose my arm and leg for a set of taillights.

picture added:

also, if these arent the standard JDM 180SX taillights, does anyone know where i can get them for less than 600? im looking myself, but if anyone knows any reputable websites, please inform! thanks!

*edit* lol i just realized that i never actually asked a question when i said i did...oh well too lazy to change it. it'll give you guys soemthing to laugh at...and a lesson, dont type something when youre working off of 24 hours of being awake *edit*

those taillights are from a kouki 180sx. in japan they continued to make the 180sx as a seperate line to they s14. most places sell them for about 500.

If you buy them off of ebay, make sure you get the lock cylinder with key, two tail lights, reverse light piece and the body piece below the lights. You will need all those parts to do this swap.

And the reason you were seeing 180's without those lights was because youw were lookin at a Chuki, the lights you want as stated above are kouki.

don't get him started with the type X if he doesn't know about it. it's hard enough to get the people that already call them type x lights to quit.

the correct term is Kouki as already stated, there were type X trim levels on all years of 180sx.
