Hey how easy is it to take out the whole set of the stock taillights. i just ordered the JDM taillights and was just curious how much work it owuld be to take the stocks out. thanks for your help

you just take the trim out of the trunk, find the bolts to the lights, and you have to heat the epoxy that holds the middle one i think. says the write up that i read. i haven't done it though.

ok thanks tomorrow if i get the tailllights ill take a look at it. doesnt sound to difficult then besides the heating of the epoxy but sure can figure it out thanks alot

blow dryer or 20 bucks for a heat gun from your local home depot for one that gets to like 2000 degrees. Usually it's so old and stuff though that you can pull them off... Also, IIRC there is a rubber gasket of some sort in there, but it might just be the epoxy goop. Check when you pull your old ones off.

Where can I get the JDM tail lights? They look so much better than OEM.

KasbeKZ

well, you can make them, or get them from coz, or there are a couple other vendors that have them, bu CZP is the only one that i know of right now.

Don't buy from Coz... he needs to learn his lesson via decreased sales for a while.

Any dealership can get them, Ultimate Z stocks them, Z1 stocks them.

And please don't make them... they turn out like **** 100% of the time. If I weren't able to tell the difference between real JSpec and homemade, I'd say go for it... but it's always so obvious. They forget the lines or make lines that are too thick or improperly spaced, they don't chrome the inner housings, they use the wrong pattern on the lens, etc etc etc.

yeah even tho its little money i think its definately worth buying the JDMs and installing them than making it homemade. it is really noticeable from pics ivve seen and even people who have done it here. no bueno.
