I used the search, but didn't see anything pertaining to this question. I've seen some 240's (in pictures) w/ round taillights and/or a solid-colored center bezel in back, but for some reason I can't find them for sale on the web, except for at jacquemond.com, and those are not exactly like some others I've seen (plus they're 1000.00 bucks w/ shipping and I was hoping for something cheaper). Any info? Thanks

:cool:

You must be thinking of the type-x taillights (i think thats what they are called). Do a search on those, you will find all kinds of info. I believe they run about 500 a set.

Are you sure you aren't mistaking the 240sx for a Skyline? The roof lines of both cars are extremely similar... and the Skyline has round tail lights. Just a thought.

No, these were 240's. I actually found the bezel by itself once on ebay, but I can't remember who made it.

You are talkin about the 180sx tail-lights, or Kouki Tails. They are amazing. I don't know where to find them, cause I don't have an s13 hatch, but if I did I would have these lights :) Good luck w/ your search.

hell yeah. the 240sx fastback in gran turismo 3 has the solid center bezel. I totally want one now. it's also got a good looking (in my opinion) wing on it too.

edit: clearcorners.com has them for $600 if I was rich, I'd get them right now.

Actually.. they're not just Type X tails. They use them on all RPS 13 180s.

WRONG! 89-96 180sx have the same tails as american hatchbacks. It wasn't until 96 when nissan switch to the new 180sx style, which included some aero changes, interior changes, and the new tail lights.

I don't like those so much as I do the 180 lights from clearcorners. yeah, they're round. but they just don't do it for me

new "new 180sx style" doesn't mean "Type X"

RPS 13 . . they ALL had that tail, that's all I'm saying. I never said PS and S13 180s didn't have the same tails we had.
