IMHO, I like what I did: get yourself the 180SX panel garnish and leave it at that.. simple, stock, cheap and people who know the deal will notice... trust me.. anyone agree? :pface

i was always shooting for the kouki lights myself. I'd like to get a set and change the colors on those somehow, just to be a bit different...

Depending on where you live, clear corner turner signals are not the least bit illegal as long as they still illuminate amber...read:you can replace the housing and just get amber bulbs...I plan on getting clear turn signals after I find a good shop to repaint the car black.

Thinking of getting this mod soon since my tail lamps are leaking anyway (kit comes with butyl seal, might as well do it all at once) but my wiring skills are non-existent.
its really simple, the colors match up perfect. all you do is cut, match up colors, splice, and youre done.

the clearcorners taillight are very nice. I had them on my white 93 f/b before it was totalled last year. the stock amber piece is molded in amber plastic, so you can't eliminate it, only cover it. the clearcorners version is an all new fabricated piece. I would like to do these again or the kouki tails for my black 92 f/b, but I can't justify the $$$ for that, I'm doing performance upgrades first.

thats what i was thinking. i knew the stock stuff was molded in colored plastic, not clear with a color film. $225 isnt too bad for what you get, but i could spend that on engine and interior stuff for now and make it go a lot longer.

I thought white turn signals are okay as long as the bulbs were amber like in the Mercedes MLs

maybe you could get all LED's for your tail lights and just leave'em on when youre driving.
