It was a wicked birthday present to myself



I need to see what foglights you used and what parts you used and how you did this!

It wasn't easy haha. You basically have to buy 2 sets of these taillights to make them. I was lucky that I found an extra set for cheap. They don't come apart like the stockers do. They are epoxied together. So out of 4 reverse lights you wreck 2 outer lenses to save the back housings and wreck 2 back housings to save the outer lenses. Cut apart the outer taillights to rob the LEDs, drop em in and glue it back together.

I made my own skyline tails out of my stockers and led rings, but im contemplating making the inner of both the outer and inner lights reverse lights. Im wondering how hard that would be.

Thanks man. Personally myself I have yet to see a set of skyline mod tails I really like using stock taillights. I guess I like the big LEDs of the K2 taillights. Mix them in with my LED 3rd brake light and it just looks bad ass. And bright as hell haha.

Yea no doubt they look good, i do need to figure out a way to block the light in the center of the outers so they match the inners more but like i said im thinking of making the inside of all of em reverse lights, not sure how to do it tho

If you read the how to 574 posted it shows how to keep the light from bleeding through.
