In need of new Z32 tail lights...

I need some new taillights on my TT. I got it detailed today and in the process of taking off the crappy old stickers with a heat gun for 20 seconds both lights were cracked.

What do you think of these?

Looks nice

They do look really nice, not the stock coloring IM taking it, but ebay can be iffy on what you are getting, does look like an add from dotcom.racing, maybe they have a real website, I did find some negative posts about what they sell, that the pictures may not be what you actually get. So beware Id say

Crap. I like the look of those lights. I'm going to check if other sellers offer them. I'm not a huge fan of the JDM lights. Does anyone know if anything else is offered? Thanks for your input.

Carbon Fiber goodies

Considering stock parts are kinda spendy, this looks pretty cool, and you get the center piece also

More options

they seem to have a decent variety for your car, here is a much less expensive option... but need to find some reviews of this site and how good customer service and the goods are
Nissan 300Z 4 Car Option Taillights - Red & Smoke - LT-N300ZXRSM-9 by 4 Car Option

From what I can tell no one has had a lot of luck with these guys, seems like the internet makes it way to easy to scam people, sad really.

Predator, thanks for the links. I believe the last one you sent is the same light I had posted about. There are several other eBay sellers that offer those lights. I might go for that.

I called street beat customs and they advised their lights are better quality and not the same lights on eBay. They also offer them with LED's. I think I'm gonna go with them.

Yesterday, I installed JDM tailights on my TT. I'm very pleased with the way they look. However, when I turn my headlights on the "light" light comes on my dash. All turn signal/break lights appear to work correctly. Any ideas?

How about your "running" tail lights (when headlights are on)? My right's out, but still all break/turn signals/headlights are working and it gives me that same dash light.

Both running lights are on. Any other ideas?

On a side note I really like they way the JDM lights look. I was going to tint them, but after installing them the look pretty Damn good.

I think the problem is that the new bulbs are a different voltage. My old ones don't quite fit, but I can reuse the old housing.

I have no idea why the picture is upside down. I also couldn't load the pic of the $hitty lights on the previous post so here is an upside down pic of them.

Looks nice, I think? I imagine they're upside down on your computer too, just need to click a button to rotate them.

I'm not that stupid. They were uploaded from my iPad. In my photo library they do not need to be rotated.

Wasn't suggesting you were stupid, some people simply don't know that. Just like I didn't know it was from your iPad, nor would I know what the hell to do to make it work on an iPad.
