Read this thread before you guys place a bid on that:http://www.zilvia.net/f/showth...pp=30

Here's how they look at night:http://northwestnissans.com/bo...90183

Quote »Hehe, i didnt provide much info...This taillight is my "rough copy" (ie spare taillight) i've only done 1 so far.

The lense on the left was merely attached to the outside of the tail light (I made sure to heat the lense to curve with the tail light), where the one on the right, i cut a 5" hole and sunk the lense into the tail light.

Trust me that they'll look a lot better when i actually do the real thing.

When i initially painted these ones, the transparent red "orange pealed" in a few spots so i put like 5 thick coats to try and get rid of that and thats why they look so dark.

Heres a few more pics, kinda explains my learning curve in making them...

My car is a work in progress right now, dont mind the paint/dirt/scratches.

in this pic they're taped on, i was just getting a feel for the look (notice how crooked they are)http://northwestnissans.com/bo...89421

this picture explains it allhttp://northwestnissans.com/bo...89422

to get rid of the holes after i attached the tail light, i poured some epoxy in the head of the screw and sprayed the lense with clear, you cant really see the fasteners once you do that.

when i do my tails, ill do the lenses like the one on the left[/quote]
