hey who else out there has the Inspire tailights and have cleared out the little yellow piece in it. i need to get my ass moving on getting that out. how did you guys do it? thanks

MaxxT

I don't have the inspire tail lights yet, but thinking about them. I have a question for you though. I notice that the inspire tail lights only have one light bulb for brake light instead of two. Did you drill for the second bulb? or you just use one bulb?

unx979

yeah they only have one brake light, i just used that one. i figured they worked fine for the japanese people, it should be fine with me. i don't wanna drill holes if i don't have to.

500$ and still has yellow!!!! wtf im glad i didnt buy

unx979

granted it was a little dissapointing but heck i had to redo my entire rear end so spending a few extra bucks for a set of inspire tailights was worth it. i don't think i would've bought a set just out of the blue cause it is pretty steep. but since i had to get a new set anyways and the OEMs were running around 450 or so figured i spend 50 more dollars and be "unique". not that anyone would notice.

Yeah, I really need new tail lights. I think it's the only thing holding my car back from looking damn good. I was thinking about the inspires, but when I heard about that yellow piece in there I thought twice about it. I like em, but I need to know if that yellow can be removed with out a problem. I wish we could do a group buy for custom tails. Right now I would rather have phat looking tails than a front or rear spoiler.

unx979

it's only a small yellow piece that covers the bulb. but i have no idea how to get it out though other than taking the whole thing apart. i think someone on here before did it by cutting it to little pieces or dissolving it and then pulling it through the hole but i'm not sure how efficient that is or what the risks are involving that.

first of all, the whole thing with the inspire tail lights is to go jdm, to have an "import". not to clear out the orange or whatever. if you want to just go clear, THEN CLEAR OUT YOUR REGULAR ONES! not work $500 just so you can be clear.

dbox

so these lights are clear they just have a yellow blinker cover on the inside? if thats what it is i will buy some

I have the inspire tail lights and I had the second hole drilled. It's because the Japanese use one brake light while Americans use two. The reason why there is still a little piece of yellow in it is because the people in back of you need to see your turn signal when it's on and it would be pretty difficult to see with clear tail lights. Otherwise, you might end up in an accident. Plus, I think it has to be that way in order for the lights to be approved by the department of motor vehicles. But the good thing about them is that you can only really see the yellow or orange, whatever the color is, when the turn signal is on.

jz983

canyou post a picture up soon? and one withthe turning lights on so we can see what you are talking about. thanks

Guest

It probably will not be until next week. I have to use up the roll of film in my camera first.

jz983

Guest

I can't afford a digital camera. I'm too busy fixing up my TL.

jz983

Guest

Yes, it was bad. Shame on you!

turboTL

so.....is it possible to remove the color from the tail light lenses? i'm a bit confused...(story of my life)

i would jack some DVD players, but i don't have a little black car with green under lighting...heh...heh..>

redeye

heck we all need digital cameras, damn... i wanna show you guys my tl too... with the new rims and all

why don't we all get together and jack some dvd players.. i'm sure the tl will fit under an 18 wheeler when needed

unx979

all i know is that it is possible to remove the yellow from the Inspire Tails. As for the stock ones, i don't think it's possible cause the plastic is actually yellow, there's no film or whatever that you guys can scrape off.

bsaber41

well im all for jackin some dvd players so if you all need a driver call me ill use my brothers maxima

jz983

for the stock tails, can' you use a heat gun? soldering iron?

MaxxT

dbox

Bakerboy

They are on my x-mas list along with a carbon fiber dash to match my knob. I also am getting a AEM intake. What i really want is a Alpine DVD playe.:p

Guest

Yes, you should, dbox. They look real good. Wait until I post my picture next week. You'll see what I mean

MaxxT

Why next week? We have 1 hour photo now... come on

jz983

hey post a picture up with your knokb and dash. i want to see the knob

redeye

they make an aem intake for the 1st gens??????

unx979

hmmmm i don't think AEM makes CAI for our cars, maybe he meant a custom made one. it's possible to custom make a CAI or short ram cause a lot of people on this board has it.

TLBaller

okay how'd we change topics from taillights to cai's? anyway, is tim ever going to have sales or specials on our inspire tails?!

unx979

haha yeah it's pretty random how we went from inspire tails to jacking DVD's to intakes. heheh but it's all good.
