Solid red 3 circle FB taillights?

[EroGori]

I remember looking around the forums a while ago and i thought i saw somebody's FB rocking these things. Were they off ebay and painted or something? I searched but I couldn't find them. Just want to look at them again and see how they were done. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

You might have mistaken them for these, Kouki taillights:

He said circular though. FC taillights could be in question too.

[andrewmp6]

no the fd has a circular looking tail lights rest of the rx7 are flat and plan

[ramblux]

Maybe he means FB as in fastback?

[Andrew Bohan]

S5 fc has circles. all US fd have squares but 99+ fd in japan has circles

... I believe you're looking for the euro tails. It's very simple to find. Look on Ebay, type in 240sx tails, and you'll find a plethora of euro tails. They're rice, but they're only $60 rice instead of $500 rice.

yea i agree, his description fits it.

just buy a set from ebay and paint it or lay red vinyl over it

edit, i read it agian. if you want to find his write up, try looking it up in nopi or 240sxforums.. i forgot which it was, but he has a write up in one of those 2 forums floating around. maybe its here too, i just dont remember lol. too early in the morning i guess...

Are these the lights you are referring to? If so try contacting Realnez since that is his car he posted in the picture thread. Imagine that, I found a picture in the Picture Thread.

Interesting concept, I know. Completely foreign to some.

I've PMed 2 users regarding their tails, and they never PM me back. . .:(

[breakindrifts]

I used to sell these tails on ebay, if anyone is interested in some or how to do it shoot me an email. [email protected]

I'll post pics of some of the sets I have done later.

Writeup? What did you use? *a

[!Zar!]

When I helped my friend paint the altezza lights, first we used very fine grit sandpaper, then wet sanded down the whole surface.

After that we cleaned it down with denatured alcohol and a 100% lint free cloth.

Once you've finish prepping the surface you'll want to prepare the spray paint.

Now being as how I get paint lexan for free, I figured what the hell lets see what happens; you can use any transparent red paint it doesn't really matter.

But I chose to use Tamiya Translucent Frost red (http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXFFV6&P=7). Always when you're spraying, make sure to shake the can for a couple minutes, run it under hot water then, proceed to shake the can again.

With your first coat go very lightly at about 8~10" away. Don't worry about how it looks. This is only for adhesion.

Let that dry. Then proceed to go with another coat. Repeat 4x

After you've covered the whole light, it's time for clear coat.

We used enamel clear coat, but be warned, I do not suggest mixing diffrent types of paint. Being as how I wasn't sure what the outcome would be, I mixed the two on a spair piece of plastic just to be sure.

After I was sure no problems would arise, we sprayed three coats of clear.

Let dry and you're finished.

As for the center garnish, to get the kouki type reverse lights, you'll just need to cut out some masking tape and place them over the bulbs. Spray using the method above, then remove the tape slowly and spray everything with clear.

If you have any questions, feel free to pm me.
