Default Got the 78Works tail lights installed!!

To start this off I wanted to buy these for months. They looked so badass when I saw them when skimming the internet. I contacted 78works directly and they mentioned that they don't ship to the States. HOWEVER, they did inform me of supplies known as RHDJapan http://www.rhdjapan.com/ . They didn't have the specific color but I was able to request it and they got it shipped to me in less than a week!

I can't do a build log because I got SIKKY to install them for me so I honestly don't know how to do it. If the instructions weren't in Japanese I would of installed them myself.




Sorry that my pictures aren't the best, it's still snowing in Toledo so maybe in the Summer on a nice day I'll be able to take better pictures.

The smoked LED bumper lights were purchased on ebay.

These bad pictures and the fuzzy video definitely do not do the lights justice because I can tell you even if they costed $1k and I've already seen them in person, I would definitely buy them again.

They look great!! I've seen these about a year ago with a CL member in Texas and fell in love with them

Actually dcguy here local just got them installed and I've seen them in person and they look phenomenal and really update the back end of our cars!!

I plan on getting them within the next couple weeks

Checkout the video I just posted which shows his 78Works tails that I saw in person

Looks great! I remember seeing those on a YouTube video and said I gotta have them when I get an F. Might be time haha I've just been scared of installing them. Can't wait to see them once the car is all cleaned

Yeah it's awesome how they have 6 different color variations on their website for the 3rd gen style tail lights. The clear white one would look sick on a white car while I'm sure the smoked one would match a gray car perfectly.

Those look incredible, are they the same as GS-F lights? They look very similar at least.

That's the look they were going for I believe; they claim they were "3is inspired tail lights".

these look terrible, IMO. the one HEYarms has on his white one is nice since it is more red. these reminds me of APC clear euro lights back in the day.
