Damn, that looks nice.. I may have to look into doing something similar for mine

 

Putting in the extra material makes the lights look good during the day (before, something looked "missing") and it helps the turn signals light up better (the factory amber strip serves to both color and diffuse the light of the turn signal bulbs). I'm assuming you replaced the stock clear bulbs with amber ones to keep it "stock" looking and street-legal.

Very clean install. I think some of the SC300/400 forum guys who cleared their tails did the flourescent light diffuser mod as well to clean it up and spread the light better.

 

Were the same properties used to get the tail lights apart?

put in oven etc? then remove the orange insert from the inside??

 

That's the right process. Delicate process to say the least, but once achieved, the tailight dissection can be done numbers of times without hesitation

 

I would definitely keep the tail mod. Not only does it help with that what I think dull look of the current ES tails, but it truly does look badass. Do you have your fronts cleared too? and what about the clearcorners?

 

Clean...nice job!
I'd like to do the tails on my LS the same way.

 

I know this is an old post. but what kind of material did you use to look that white? Im probably doing that mod tonight.

this is gonna sound stupid...but why am i the only one who cant see the pic?? sounds like an awesome mod tho

 

no, his pics dont work. but i see a glimpse in his signature



FIX THEM PICS!

 

hey 3rdelement.. i don't think he use anything. he just took out that orange pieace... my rear light are cracked on the side..so i was checking it out.. there is a orange pieace in there that you can pull out.. after the orange, there will be a white layer..

 

Question:
"Did you open up the lights and bonded clear plastic material to the tailight lenses?"
"Please tell us how you did the "new" mod! Is that a jeweled texture tape?"


Answer:
"The "new" look is indeed an extra peice that I placed inside the tailight. I used the cover from a defunct lighting fixture that I had lying around and band sawed a strip that fit. I took the car outside in the sun today, and I was suprised how nicely the sunlight caught the inserts. "

 

niiiice, looks really good, something i might try

 

mod done. turned out fairly well, but this is a hard mod. I ended up cracking a couple pieces even though i took my time and was really careful. A lil superglue though seems to have fixed the problems. I was able to get pictures, but my sony camera stopped working. Ive sent it back to sony for repair. so when it gets back i can post some pics. If i can borrow a friends camera i'll post some images.

 

Not only different, but different in a GOOD way

 

Nice Mod Bro!

Post the DIY !!!
