Mirror Chrome Colin Taillights
 
Does anybody have a picture of what the mirror chrome Colin tails look like on our cars? Preferably on the Raven? Here is the link: http://www.japanparts.com/images/Ima...ase=1&no=46260
I can't decide between these or just going with Smoked.
Thanks!

I have not seen these on anyone's car yet, you could be the first!

Got mine two weeks ago, installed. Will post pics when I get off work. To my eye, in a word, droolworthy.

Here's the link, enjoy. I'll put the rest of the pics in my build thread when I get home. Any questions, fire away.

Those are sweet! I would love to see what they look like in the daylight though! How was the install with re-wiring them? Did you make a custom gasket to stop the water? If so, how did you do it?

Will be adding pics pretty soon.

In the daytime they're a lot better looking than most people assumed they would be. I'm glad I took the risk and ordered them up. The tend to reflect black or chrome. The star shaped turn indicator blends in really well against the other chrome bits. The tails are not gaudy at all, but not OEM looking either. I love them and it feels good to have something extremely unique. However I know that doesn't last forever, so time to post about them.

Install was easy. I did have to switch the blue and white wires. I used a precision flat screwdriver. For the gasket, I re-used the stock gasket. No condensation yet, but we've been in the middle of a heatwave in So Cal. Car washes have not introduced any moisture. I will however be adding a custom neoprene gasket from a DIY I saw on the board before winter.
