If you're like me you want to change your tail lights for something else?

How do you choose which style to go with? Or whether to just modify the ones you already have?

See below for the bewildering range I've been able to dig up, I guess there's probably more out there.......

I thought having em all on one page side by side might be useful......although in hind sight it might be harder to select than ever

Upload

Compiled from various posts, links, modified instructions & web sites like F1 & ImportScene don't ask me for more pic's, or pic's on a car, or pic's at night, or where they came from cause I can't remember.

Apologies for poor image quality

Gotta say my current thoughts are clearing out my current ones....93 type (top left) or surprised to say the Black Altezza's (2nd fm top right)

Great thread mate. Only thing nagging me is that the pictures do look a little blurry. Anything you could do to make them clearer?

Pen, you should move this over to the Soarer Specifications and Useful Information section. Will stop people asking a LOT of questions.

Unfortunately no, mainly as most of the original images were low res & small in size to start with. Combine that with having to photoChop them off cars on some of them & that's the best I could do with them......spent some time trying to make them clearer but alas no joy.

Although if ANYONE who reads this thread has a high res image of the various lights (not on a car) with a plain or white background PM me with it & I'm happy to recompile a better bigger stock page or PDF.

Great work Carl!

Personally I'll always like the factory 91-93 and 94-96 the best, of course that could just be because those are the two Soarers I have owned/own.

I note your indicator is clear where the one in the compilation is orange-yet another variation. I quite like your's (even more than the other Altezza I had picked)

Did you get your's from Greg or Jeff? I thought they had the same but maybe they are slightly differant after all.

Greg, Jeff care to comment? If you have hi res shots NOT ON A CAR of tail lights you stock could you PM them to me?

Any of the tail lights in the pictures above will fit your Soarer. You will just most likely need a tail light module in order for them to work properly.

Unfortunately the lights have been installed onto the car, and I don't have easy access to the car for at least another week.

Daniel, you can source a tail light module box from Mark Paddick. He is the electronic guru on this forum and can be contacted at

Carl I suggest you place a number beside each picture to avoid confusion in the years to come. I'm sure 'Where do I get the second from the bottom in the second row?' will come up often. I think 'Where can I buy number 9 from' is much neater. BTW good work.

Tim,

I picked that one especially to trap somebody in my web. You just happened to be the first fly to come along.

Wouldn't it have been easier for you to type 'You can't buy number 9... It's a custom make (sic) thing you do yourself...'
