I've been trying to find out what these are for a while, but have yet to come across anything substantial. I've heard they could be some discontinued lights. I'm tired of the same old "crystal" clear tails like origin, dmax, ebay, whatever. I don't like the clear tail look, especially on a dark colored car, which mine's is. Let me know if you know what brand they are and/or where I can get them.Thanks.

the bottom ones went to ****, they aren't sealed at all apparently.

they don't look like popular aftermarket "crystal" or "euro" lights, they look like they have been modified, possibly even started out as stock.

Is it possible they cracked open the light and sanded the ridges inside down? I've heard that before so yeah..

They are Super Made. I have them, but never put them on. You have to take out the stock lenses and put them on. I bought them, but soon after G-Corporation clear tail lights came out, so I got them instead. Here's the pic.

I got them from garage-13.com. They still carry them. Now One Ton Garage carries Super Made stuff, so you should ask. This used to be very popular s13 mod in Australia.

When I ordered mine from garage-13, tail light covers were shipped from Japan. Guess what? Bottom red shade was off big time left and right, and I had hard time getting a right set. After I went through all that, I just hate Super Made stuff. Customer service was just terrible. Anyway, if you want to buy a set, make sure to get same exact shade. It's basically fabricated and dyed Lexan plastic.

Coupe is hard to fabricate, but hatch is easy because amber part is not that big and curved like coupe tail lights. I would get a set from junkyard and fabricate. I've seen 2-3 hatches before and all of them looked good.

I wanted clearcorners.com tail lights back in the day, but they discontinued them. Their quality was really good and it was around $300. Now, they only sell coupe LED conversion lights which is $1810 for a set. They are not even clear anymore.

Nice!Yea, I just bought a pair of OEM tails on ebay cheap. Figured before I commit to a set of $250 lenses I'd at least try and fab something up with a spare set. Guess I'll have to experiment on finding a way to remove the amber coloring cleanly.

Dammitboy removed lenses to do LED conversion. I think he messed up first set, but 2nd set made it. Don't remember exactly what happened. Just go through his thread. He said something there.

Well, I talked to clearcorners.com and apparently they don't offer the clear tail service for the S13 anymore, FAIL!Right now I'm just waiting to hear back from Garage-13, they said they didn't have the supermade lenses in stock, but they said he would hit up supermade to see if they could order a set. If that doesn't go through then I'll be trying to retro them myself, in which case I'm ready for the adventure, haha!

Yeah, if price is right. If not, I'd rather keep them since I also collect rare s13 parts.
