help appreciated

Thanx

You don't get the thin strips dude - one of the things that set the kit and the real items apart. I guess you could have a go at those yourself though.

I could, but it's been put in my Journel section, which I believe only subscribed members can see.

But I do have a pic of my rear end, in day light....

 

 

And at night.....

 

 

These are the made up versions (home made, not a kit) and I've put the pin stripping on the inside while I was doing it. Also the '300ZX' logo has had an illuminated Electro-Luminescent panel installed as well.

 

HTH

Dave, are they proper 99 spec or did you convert existing ones ?

But if you want a pic of a genuine 99 set-up, take a look at this link, from the ZCentre

Sorry, should learn to read all the reply Do'h !

Is it obvious where to put the stripes on the inside or is it a case of just guessing ?

Also, a bought and fitted a second hand light unit as one of mine had a crack in it. All I did was remove the old unit and fiitted the new one, do you have to remove all of the black goo of the new light and body work and if so what did you re-seal the units with.

No it isnt obvious where to put the stripes, in fact it's a bit of a pain, and took me quite a while to get right (and still isnt really :headvswal )

As for the block goo, well there is a fitting guide here (although the pictures are no longer showing) If you brought a genuine set of 99's, then you'd remove as much of the old as you can, and then use the new stuff supplied. If you are using an old set then leave it where it is, but be very carefull when working on them, I put greese-proof paper over the sticky part, and this came off very well when I'd finished.

Tip - A hot air gun would be better than a hair dryer, I also found that you have much more controll over the separation process if you also use a hot air gun for this instead of an oven. I also silvered my inserts while my lamp units were apart, just to give it that extra bit of 99 spec realism :D

I have 2 rolls of the seal for the lights that I didn't use when I fitted my new 99 spec light units. There was enough of the black goo left on the body to use to re-fit, if you know what I mean.
