supra tail light conversion

Where can I find the supra tail light conversion that i've seen around on the internet before. I checked ebay and found nothing. Any help would be useful. Thanks

Are you talking about the taillight cover that each have 3 holes in them.

Its a custom job.

It's not a kit. www.dsmtuners.com has more info than here for sure.

I have done it... It's not a kit.. it's a complete conversion. It requires the purchase of a set of supra tails which you can get from any toyota dealer for about 250 dollars or for less off ebay. Then you, or a body shop must hack the back of your car and mold the lights into the rear. a typical body shop will charge you approx 1200 dollars to do this. it takes a lot of time and some very good fiberglass skills. If you are going to do it yourself.. I will tell you how I did it.

First remove the entire tail setion of your car, including the bumper and lights and centerpiece. With a torch or other cutting device ( I used a plasma cutter) cut out the corners of your taillight buckets. then using fiberglass resin mold buckets for the supra tails. be sure to measure them out or it's just gonna look retarded. leave room for your trunk key hole.. unless you're shaving it and have a remote popper on it. (like me) once you have the buckets molded and glassed in, just mold the back end around the lights, and be sure to glass it cleanly and with enough layers, approx 7 or 8. cover it in resin, and sand it smooth. when you're happy, primer it and test fit your lights, run the wiring when everything is good to go and make sure it's all set. then spray it, and mount everything. if you're having trouble getting the lights to seal you can put rubber trimming around the lights. you can purchase it at any hardware store for approx 5 dollars.

This is going to take you at least 4-5 days, depending on how hard you work and how good you are. if you don't plan on making it a show car, or you are tight on cash.. I highly recommend NOT doing this. It is VERY expensive to have someone do and it will still cost you about 500 dollars to do yourself. But if you love your baby and you really must have it.. then go for it. My buddy has a shop that will do it for you for approx 1000 dollars. he helped me with mine. if you're in the PA area. let me know. I'll hook you up. Good luck

Import2nr99 -- Got any pics

still stuck in ft. shithole... when I finally get home I will post as many as I can. Hopefully the site for the shop will be open soon and we'll have a bunch of pics of our work posted on there.

supra taillights look good, but so do the stock Ecplise tail lights in my opionin

Import2nr99 when do you get back?

waiting on my medical stuff to get done, don't ever get hurt when your in the army... they find ways to fuck you over that you coudln't imagine. I should be home in about a month. at least I'm in the US again!!

If I were you, leave the Supra lights for the Supra but whatever suites you...

Id do the same.. Theres a guy by my job that has Supra tail lights... Looks too weird cause the supra is a wider car.. and when put on an eclipse theyre way to close together...

Saw an Eclipse on the net a while back with S2000 tailight conversion.. That was pretty sweet...Though the pics werent at the best angle..

Yea I have seen the s2000 conversion. I liked it.

Actually. I just saw pics of this guys blue Eclipse with Supra lights... Looked pretty good.. much better than the one i seen around me...

i saw in a magazine an eclipse with a supra tail light conversion but also had TRD 3000GT widebody kit any body know them--> GTP international

There are two different setups for the conversion. It depends on the shop and the time put into it. also has a lot to do with the imagination of the person doing the work. when you remove your lights and certerpiece from the rear of your car there is what is called a light "bucket". Self explanitory on it's purpose. When you go to put the lights from the supra into the rear of the car you have the option of building your own buckets on top of the existing stock taillight buckets, *easier and less time consuming) or you can cut your buckets and move the lights farther to the outside of the vehicle. (much more time consuming) The only problem with building your buckets inside the existing buckets is that this tends to crowd them due to the angle at which the rear lights slope down. it causes the lights to only be about 6-8 inches apart. and does look a bit on the goofy side. also you have a lot harder time molding the lights evenly and often end up settling for the "bubble" look. which is a complete different look from the "molded" conversion. for an example go to the miaminightout.com site and check out the blue eclipse gs on there. The nice part is that this piece can be fabricated to be completely removable, should you need to do so for whatever reason. The other way, cutting the buckets, will take you longer and might cause you to have to get someone with a cutting tool to help. if you've ever taken your rear lights off you know that there are three bulbs that are used for the signalling. (running light, brake, and turn signal) On the supra there are 4, because the reverse light is included in with the rest unlike the eclipse where it is mounted by the license plate. This is the reason for the length of the taillight assembly. but by cutting your existing buckets you can compensate for the extra 4 inches or so that you gain with the reverse lights. also by cutting the oem buckets you can set the lights in the extra half inch that they would normally stick out and make it a flush, smooth installation.The final product is a permanant, but smooth and flawless(hopefully) installation leaving you with the same basic look but a touch of "wild". making the lights almost seem as though they were oem. this mod will get you TONS of points in the show world! It is growing in popularity though, so it's not so hard to see. I've done it on my car and a lowrider truck, and it turned out very nice. I will also be doing it to my friends civic when I get home.

Sorry to ramble on about something not so popular. Basically, in short, if you spend the time to do it right, you can definitely make it look like they were meant to be. it's all a matter of the quality of the craftsmanship. I will try to post as many pics as I can when the site for the shop is up.
