R32 Tail lights on 240sx s13

I've heard of people doing this, is it complicated or easy? I'd like to do it, so anyone who has done it or knows about it, your help would be greatly appreciated Also, im not trying to make my 240 look like a skyline(so dont flame me), I just like R32 tail lights, and I'd like to add an different look to my car so it could be more individual and not like every other 240 out there.

Yeah, with my fastback it would most likely be pretty hard....and if I can't do the R32s I'd like to get the 180 tail lights....


(the actual tail lights not the middle, best pic I could find)

And yeah you cant see them all the way there, but im sure everyone knows which ones I mean. Anyway, I cant find any for sale anywhere, so im screwed with those haha.

yup. it isnt. gushi's car has a zenki front end and brighter green paint.

r32 tails isnt my taste. coupe lights look better IMO. cleaner look

Milano Auto's 240 looks nice...they did a pretty good job!
haven't performed anything like this before but I'd imagine it would take a lot of cutting and maybe even molding....
anyways stick with they Type X lights because they kick!

you're kidding right? you must be thinking of 180 Type X tails on a 180sx not a set of R32's on a fastback.....well of course the Type X tails bolt straight onto the fastback but if you're thinking of it bolting right onto a coupe then you need to look at the picture again THOROUGLY....the coupe tails and the R32 are two different sizes and maybe you have to customize the trunk and yeah...just take a look...but i might be wrong
so someone correct me if they want to haha

try lookin on jspec.com or projectnissan.com, they should have the 180 taillights for sale. believe they r $500-550 + shipping. i got a set when i got my car, i took them in to get them fixed up cuz one of the tails was cracked. not the exterior but the bulb socket piece, should be done and pretty clean. gotta go check this week. if you want i could sell them to u for $300 + shipping. let me know if your interested.

anything is possible with enough money.. it's going to be a custom job, it's not like something you can just slap on there.. so you'll be looking in the area of custom body paneling for the arse end of your car and some custom molding work.. but hey, if you have the $ and you want to do it, it'd be rad
