Default Tail lights

Im interested in seeing some people's tail light designs, whether its led's, altezza, darker tint etc. Just want to get some possible ideas for myself.

Would be much appreciated, thanks

The latest trick is to remove the colour from inside the lights. Then use colour bulbs.

Without a RED reflector at least, or a red brake light lens the lights are not ADR compliant as far as I know.

i think there is already someone that has done the skyline thing, comingthru or something.

Looked very well done.

If I had ED lights I would take the bottom amber bit out, looks very nice.

You have to have some patients in order to do this as the spliting process takes awhile being you have to gentilly and slowly seperate the lense with out causing any crack's. And trust me it's easy to do so:P
