Yeah those taillights are actually just stock taillights that I sanded, then sprayed red clear, wet sanded then polished, hand glazed then waxed. My friend who bought the car from me said that the taillights were the first to go :-) I might do the same process to my next cruising car :-)


And yea I've been wondering how the headlights where made and with what; The driver's side was broken before I received them.




How'd you do the LEDs though, in the taillights? I tried my hand at it, wasn't coming out too pretty.haha

(car's still a work in progress)

@Sentraga WOW you brought me back. hmmm that headlight might have been crack from my accident. I was hit on that corner. If you were wondering where those projectors came from, those are fog lights form a 2001 GTi. So if you need bulbs for your headlight just search for the fog light for that car.
The headlight lens i vacuum formed it myself. Theres a youtube video somewhere. Dude PM if you have any questions... I can show you how to make another headlight lens if you want to.
Is that my evil eyes from my old car too?
As far as the LED sequential taillights.....i STILL have it with the 240sx SE lip :-) even though i don't even have an NX anymore.
BTW can you take a closer pictures of the passenger side headlight?

@sr20serprise


If it can be done at home, then yes, I would love to know how you vacuum form that.
Neither the crack, not the clear silicone I put to seal it, affect light output or anything but it would be nice for it to be a crack free lens.

I was wondering where the projector came from.lol But the projector actually says H1 on the back.

As far as the bumper, no it's not from your car. This one was made by a forum member about a year ago.
To be honest though, I like the evil eyes your car had better. The angle of the "lids" is slightly different so it looks meaner.

If you ever want to get rid of those taillights PLEASE let me know. I'd buy them off you in a heart beat.
