Need help want to make new tail lights

A few years ago i bought the black euro tail lights ... the plastic is melting and warping... but i want to do something different.. i want to make my own kinda tail lights would anyone know how i would do something like that?? i would use the current lights just want to reconfigure the plastic and put new plastic on the outside... anybody know??

I dont know what forum it was but I seen someone put LED's ....

ya i saw that too but im not a big fan of the leds... and it would really piss me off if i spent all my time putting in the leds and one goes out .... thats my biggest turn off about leds if ones out it looks gay...

why not just make something out of sheet metal?

keep it stock...

I would worry about the aesthetics other than the taillights or leds looking gay. Just smoke or red out some stock tails.

how do u red out the stock ones???? is it with red window tint?

Red vinyl. metrosellers on ebay sells all colors by the roll.

I red out both my cars rear lens .... Looks good too

but i want todo something different.... i want a change... but by all the answers theres nobody that has ideas?? ....

sometimes change is not it best way to go... imo

If you want to do something different then why ask ??? Because your gonna get answers on what somebody did ....LMAO

ok phan your answer is always keep it stock... and ya i understand ill get answers that somebody else did .. but i want to know if somebody else made there own taillight and How so i can use the same technique and do it differently

How about you take a picture of the back of the car in the sun and post it up .... That way we can all see what you are working with .... Then we can throw you some ideas ....

That whole car is pimping I love it!

here ya go ... help me lol

Yea you need what the photo below has ... The 93 rear lens going across ,,, like phan posted ...then if you want you can red them out

I think the rear of his car looks good without the trunk reflectors. I think some OE tails preferably 97 style with a light smoke would look nice

i must admit your workmenship on the straight lines is very good... but your imagination is just horrible...

Because of the way the two-tone is sprayed - makes the rear lamps look unbalanced to the clean trunk (no emblems or reflector).

Two options that might work - completely mask out the tails and blend them into the trunk lines (looks like no rear lamps - done with vinyl) but run LEDs that shine through the vinyl (saw that done in a car show, was pretty decent).

Another option is to scrap the OEM lines and go with a separated tail lamps or narrow, skinner one. Think along the lines of Nissan GT-R/Ferrari/Corvette (separate, round tail lamps) and Toyota Supra (smaller, round lamps in one housing). Need to break up that wide expanse of satin black - otherwise, it sort of looks like a bandaid stuck to the corner of the car.

May just have to play around with some photo-chopping to get that look right. If I get a chance, I'll try and chop something for comparison - or maybe someone else could find the time to do that. Could also use templates from other cars and hold them up to the trunk and see what compliments the look of it.

I actually like the third piece that runs across. It gives it more of a euro look.

Fishexpo101 i like that idea but i would still need to find out how to make the light.. or make that type of light fit ya know .... and as far as the middle refector... there isnt one .. i welded a sheet of metal there .... and phan thanks? but what do you mean "horrible"? ha ha
