Hello everyone. I am starting to modify bits like the rear lights now. Changing the normal orange and red ones to 99 spec replicas.

Here is one I have recently acquired having a makeover :)

These aren't finished yet and I have to do the other one. These will be up for sale when I have finished though

Very nice, but I would prefer to see the same diffused pattern on both, have you considered changing the brake as well to match?

My nitpick with replicas also

If I can find a red diffuser then it won't be a problem :)

Have a word with phut munch (Andy) as he found a clear diffuser the matches the 99 spec originals fairly closely.

Ahhh right. I have managed to find some red adhesive film. I shall use that on these and see how that works out. But I will have a word with Andy. Thanks joel

So Now I have started on the center panel. Its going to have the outline of the 300zx glow red, the upper clear lenses are going to be red fog lights and the bottom will be reverse lights.

for the red fog lights there will be 3 SMD LED's in each housing... Andy is a main influence on this haha

 

Finished the light I was doing. I shall look at different red diffusers in the future so they match. There were a couple of scratches and marks which were there when I got it, but still, looks alright... On to the next one

You may want to brighten up the tail light insert with some silver or chrome spray.

The black gunge seating areas for the orange lens just need a touch of tippex on them, just stops a dark area showing through.

Perhaps put a squarish extra diffuser in for where the orange bulb emits.

I have never touched the oe red diffuser, enough work on without messing with something that is perfect.

You are doing ok with the light up 300ZX - just scratch off now what you've put on with some sandpaper carefully on a small block, i always mask around to be safe.

You might find that using 12v red smd's might not be bright enough for a fog.

 

Keep it up.....enjoying the updates :thumbup1:.

I used these for my fog lights, hot mely glue gun to stick them in. jobs a goodun.

Thanks for the feedback Andy. Much appreciated. The smd are the small ones that need a step down converter... like the ones you use :)

how bright are they? I would love to see a picture so I can compare :D

I sanded the 300zx logo on the rear panel, I have done the wiring for the fog lights... These are just 3 small red LED's that require a step down converter. Just waiting on the converter for the red EL Panel then It can all go back together :D

 

Don't know why the pictures ended up like that

So I sold the replica 99 spec lights. Now I'm finishing the centre panel which will be up for sale very soon

So I sold all the lights that I did. Very happy with the results. If anyone wants theirs doing I don't mind doing it for them (at a cost of course ) but we are all friends here :)

 

Well today I received all my lights that I ordered of a certain member who is breaking a zed. I have taken one of the headlights apart and painted the insert black and added a halo ring light to where the normal beam would go. Now just to do the other one :)

Now finished my 99 spec centre light panel with 300zx lighting up and fog lights. Looks great :)

Also completed the headlights which I am very happy with

Nice work joel well done

Nice work joel well done

 

Cheers mate. Really enjoying making these :)

 

The making of my LED indicators.

Thinking of making the brake and normal rear lights led too... what you all think

Both now finished. Happy with how they have turned out :D

The picture with the odd lights is just to show how much darker the casing is... these are my lights I have made. Added a halo ring that is also a indicator As well:D
