Clear Tail Lights

[bigbennyb]

G'day guys

I've just bought clear front and side indicator lenses for my nx-r, now i really want clear tail lights to complete the look, being charcoal the clear lights look so much better than the orange.

does anyone know where you can get clear tail lights for the nx, in australia or elsewhere???

Theres about 3 or 4 NX in the entire world i know of with clear tail lights, all of which are custom made jobs. There is always talk of people making some up in the USA but its just talk.

What you would need to do is heat up the stock tails to remove the red/orange plastic pieces, then get a urethane mold made of them and then cast them with some sort of clear polyester resin. A plastics company would know what to do, but it would cost easily $500-600 per side if not more. The most expensive part is making the moulds so if you organised for lots of people all over the world to buy them it may be worthwhile.

Where abouts did you get the clear fronts from, and are the clear sides just VT-VY commodore ones? Just curious...

[Garlo]

just a question what sort of indicator lenses did u get, and did u ahve to fidel with it to make it fit and work

[bigbennyb]

well i've ordered both of them but havent received either yet, they are both still being shipped

so ill tell you when i get them so i can say whether they were worth the expense or not

[NX-TACY]

yes they are...

it takes about 10 mins to install both sides

The Pulsar boys use Commo clear side indicators, but does anyone know if they'd fit B13's? N14's have a shorter squarer lense compared to our long oval shaped ones.
The Commo ones are about $30-40 from the wreckers including the orange bulb :)

I've been told they fit with a little modification of the housing - I think Steve (SickNX) has used them on his car. My brother has a VR... they look like they would fit.

i used VT ones ... 30-40$ is a rip off

i've got clear indicators on muh NX , just steal em from someone elses car with some wire to go. easier that way. think it was a VT series 2? then stick em on yah car, my friend used silicon to attach em

[rob_n13]

my mates got a VT commy i think it was and we tryed putting his side indicators on my nx but they are to small for the holes. just a thought.

Like NXoholic_Gurl said you need to use silicon to attach them. I've done this mod to my car since my last post... worth doing especially if you can get your hands on the clear front lenses as well.

clear side ones ... cost me all brand new
$15 per side for clear lense.
$3 per side for orange bulb
$11 per side for bulb holder
$8 per side for harness...
all these parts are supplied by holden. and that is what i payed for it all

Ouch, 369 Euro is about AUS$620, not including postage down here.

I guess something is better than nothing though.

i used ba indicators and used 3m double sided tape the only thing that would have to be changed is the wires
