Rear light unit.....

[britlude]

Has anyone got an old broken rear light unit kicking about that they don't want? Jdm/uk/eu colour?

I'm experimenting and going to chop it up, so all I really need is the flat bit of the red....

Just thought I'd ask, as I don't really want to pay silly money for an experiment!! :)

Yes there's one on ebay, but he wants too much!

What part of the light are you looking for Jon?

i want to experiment replacing the clear reversing light section with a bit of suitably coloured plastic with the right curve, rather than the 'not-quite-the-right-colour' tint i have at the moment..., hence chop it out of a broken light unit rather than cutting up a good one..... so smashed corners, broken tabs, generally, 'never going to realistically be used' type of thing....

someone has one with a smashed corner on ebay, but they want £100 for it... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-NSX-NA1-REAR-TAIL-LIGHT-RIGHT-SIDE-33501-SL0-013-From-Uk-Car/164060860384?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2763.l2649 made a reasonable offer, but they declined, so they can keep it....

i know i could get a UK and EU appropriate side light units to give me 2 red OEM fog lights, but i find the different colour red on those are just as irritating as the white squares on the JDM

I see. I chopped out the red part from a smashed set of UKDM lights a while back, that part does come out quite easily. My plan was to do a similar thing with my USDM 02' tail lights but I can't bring myself to do it!

I have a full set of USA spec which is useless and taking up space...if it is any use

I believe US is the odd one out in the rear light dept, being a brighter/lighter red than the rest of the world... But thanks for the offer...

I have a set of JDM rear lights that I am hoping to fit to my car, which means my original UK ones will be surplus to requirements for me ( IF I can get them to work the way I want, I like symmetry so I want to have 2 x reverse lights, full side/brake lights and I am going for the "middle " part DIY Fog light conversion.
