Tail light inter changability

[240k Style]

Might be a silly question, but here goes.

Tail lights (whether JDM or export), are they able to be swapped left to right???

Just watching Import Monster for some JDM lights and am curious in case i can pick up a single light setup

[uras1]

i cant think of why you couldnt do this

[uras1]

had a look and it wont work

[Adzmax]

Well.....it will with some work. You can easily remove the lenses and put them in your Aus housings. Check out my build thread, I had them apart, pretty easy really.

Does that affect how the lighting setup works then with reverse and the park lights?

My 240k GL manual doesn't seem to say ( that or I couldn't find it) and I can't read electrical diagrams at all -_-

I remembered seeing a thread about someone disassembling theirs and cleaning the lenses...should've guessed it was you adz

The wire looms are completely different for the AUS and JDM versions but it wont matter if you swap the looms. I've seen some cheap sets of lights going on Yahoo Japan though, what are you using as your search string?

easy to swap the wires over

Been using ケンメリ which i got off the ebay/internet search thread, i think Uras posted it.

Since i dont have a great pc i've been searching import monster useing an iPad and phone

[Adzmax]

Yeah ケンメリ is correct. I see tail light sets go for around $300-$400 at times which isn't too bad. If I see any I'll post them here for you.

Ah now that's handy advice. Do you guys use that jessestreeter for yahoo Japan? I've only used import monster before.

Also that search string in yahoo Japan, is that tail light specific?

[uras1]

i only use streeter and a few friends, importmonster still good but higher comission fees and i get my larger stuff put a container through a workshop i deal with.

yeh just tail lights only

you might be better off on bidding something like this http://page10.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/j...ion/m103722059

Yeah a whole garnish set would be good, since I can get most gtr parts from otomoto but not tail light garnish. ATM that setup is only about $460 ... Not bad considering what you get.

Remember though I still am not going crazy until I land a coupe... THEN I'll go for broke

[uras1]

yeh, getting something complete saving collecting all the parts. i was lucky enough to get a complete gtr setup.

If you don't mind me asking, how long ago was that and how much?

[240k Style]

Most tail light garnishes ive seen don't have lights and are about the $1600 mark

[uras1]

this time last year, only paid 33k. was a bargain to say the least

Another silly question. No difference in tail lights between 2 dr and 4 dr? Same same?

[uras1]

tep, heaps different

Tail light units are the same (same enough to swap between coupe and sedan). It's just the surrounds that are different between sedan and coupe.

Thoughts as much. Just the surrounds and garnish that are different.

That Uras bloke, he's a funny guy
