Hey guys, I have wanted to change the look of my tail lights for a while, wanting 180sx kouki tails but they're a bit out of my price range at the time. I saw these decals and figured I'd give em a try, and I really like how they turned out! I haven't really seen these before so I figured I'd put them out there for those that wanted something different with their rear lights but cant afford to buy a whole new set.

I found them here:

PICS BELOW (I couldn't get them to show up using img src for some reason)

I would recommend installing using the wet method and a hair dryer/heat gun.

I'd rather get the D-max style Crystal tails... You can find fake ebay reps for like $100 or so but this place hates ebay brand so I'll post the real deal...

Well obviously I'd love to have $350-$500 brand new lights lol but for those on a budget with lights in not so great condition it's just an alternative. And I'm not sure why anyone would hate ebay unless they hate saving money, but sure if you're rich why not buy all the most expensive parts for your car =P I'm not saying sacrifice on quality when it counts but if your car's not in 100% pristine condition it's not gonna hurt to not have every part the best. Heck, I've seen Ferrari F430 Challenge cars at Sebring with zip ties and duct tape all over!

I see you haven't read a lot of the topics here, I don't hate ebay brand items but I sometimes do agree with people. If its cosmetics, sure why not, but if its internal parts like engine parts and such then I'd say pay the extra.

Search around ebay for the crystal lights, they fit on exactly like stock tails, and they give off a more unique look since not a lot of people run them since they're all about the kouki lights.

I agree with you panda, and that is certainly not a bad idea either.

I'm with you on the sweetness and originality. I also am doing my car on a budget build. Check out my build on my signature but here is mine without the actual tail light ones. I bought my covers from the same guy but just used the center piece on some "inexpensive" HB Alteeza Chrome light set and tinted the ends.

I like those covers! Very nice and im sure at a much more affordable price. Is it plastic or a red spray tint?

Don't mean to sound like a d*** but here are your best 3 options and one of them is FREEEEEE! omg! ;)

1. Stock Tail lights (These look surprisingly better than anything ebay or altezzzzzzzza)
2. Type-X Tail lights (Best looking IMO)
3. Crystal Tails (D-MAX Style looks great too)

everything else is just.... you know.. :inoutgay:

I'd have to agree to an extent. It depends on what kind of exterior you plan on running for me. I say the Kouki lights look good only on a kouki or aftermarket kit like the Vertex. Other than that, I'd always run stock/clear tails.
