Default exterior - jdm taillights and fog light installed

thanks to simota's diy for fog light installation, and thanks to riverside infinitii for the jdm tail lights.

i just love that cleared and clean look!!! if you dont believe me check out my type R.... anyways....

i thought id never say this but... "studying electronics wasnt so bad'. i was thinking of ways to wire this up and then i realized i read on some other thread the colors, sheesh if i'd known better that would have been 3 hours saved but, on we go.....

Just for that cleaner look (yes yes no eggyolks!)


on the z



with the foglight now


off


some butt pictures... funny... cuz im more of a legs person. ^_^


and youtube 20 seconds just on the light question.
left is the jdm taillight with 7440/992 and on the right stock taillight with amber 7440A/992
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dozTVVrKEpw
it's been a lousy week in maryland just pouring rain, can you imagine 5 hours in a humid garage? anyways... ^_^

i know my car is still for sale hopefully this wont depreciate. it should increase if any cuz to me it just got that sexier and got me out of my depressed state haha...

oh and some p.s's
the fog light was spliced to turn on while parking and into the brakes as well =) very bright. i love braking and having that thing turn on. gives me extra security. im paranoid after what happened to simota LOL. j/k

another thing, everyone is asking me on the leds, it seems more brighter but that can be due to the lense actually being clear as opposed to diffused red, but it seems to be more focused and maybe perhaps increase in intensity as well? either way, love it.

and last but not least for jon (simota) and bullitt ^_^

Sorry man but I like the eggyolks....I have my rear fog light connected to a switch on the seat heater switch so I can turn it on and off when I want it.

Can anyone explain to me what could possibly be the function of a low-mounted fog light on the rear of a car. Thank you.

Definately love them! I've had them on my "to get" list for awhile....I think they just moved up a notch or two over some other things. Easy to install? I'd have Altered Atmosphere in Gaithersburg do it most likely. Upgrading my headlights soon to 6000K bulbs.....would be a nice fit to have those new taillights, too.

taillights are no problem, just follow simota's diy and as far as the foglight, i strongly suggest if youre gonna get the jdm get the fog lamp too. the black protector just doesnt match plus riverside infiniti gives great discounts on multiple purchases. good luck ^_^

Cool deal....I'm good to go....got the fog light hooked up already. I've seen these for $689 (give or take)....was that close to what you paid?

i paid around 740 out the door for the jdm and the fog lights including shipping. its not bad. plus the jdm tail lights are soooo freakin hard to acquire. apparently theres another aftermarket company that makes this as well. MAKE SURE its from genuine nissan parts so beware.

according to some dealerships this taillight will be the 2010 coupe option just like the 1998 civic and 1999 2000 civic minor modification change. from reds to clear. something like that. which i loved back then as well.
