82 S/E with Custom Taillight BASE/TA MIX
Hi everyone ...i got new pics from my car ..remember not long ago
i said i changed my horrible wheels for this 15inch base ??
This is how it looks now ...and take a look yeah ,,it looks like that cause my old rear wheel went out while cruising hohoho
My tail ????
How do it looks ??? The cool thing about this is that i hated Orange tail sidemarkers...it remainded me of a japanese or normal car ...my car originally came with the smoked 82 T/A and S/E tail ..so i have no separated sidemarker..so what i did
I have to add an extra bulb and relocate the bulbs ..why ?? cause 3bulbs are used perside in the 82-84 tails ..the one that goes on the outside is brighter and the two on the middle are dim ..so when you hit the brakes ..the two on the middle Lights up ..but Holy ****ĦĦthe new 85-92 tail has four bulbs ĦĦĦ No problem...so i relocated the "Braking"bulbs and sockets to the outside....so when i hit the brakes the two outside bulbs Lighten up...and cause i have a 82 the same outside bulbs works as sidemarkers also ..so i dont have to use the separate Orange one so i deleted it...and what about the other two ??Well i relocated the originally on the outside bulb to the middle and wired another one ...but ,,the 85-92 tail came with little holes for little bulbs ...Oh ,.,yeah,,no problem..i widened it ...Hey Stop....You put the "Brighter bulbs on the inside" Yeah but i installed 2 contact bulbs..so the dim one is lighten and the Brighter contact is not in use ...Results :
When im cruising at night all the lights looks the same ...as a Formula Tail ..when i stop...the two outer lights light up (as a Formula or base Tail) but when i turn ..this same outer lights blinks ĦĦso i decided to delete the Reverse and sidemarkers with Limotint paper and the Reverse light looks anyway thru the tint
But the tail looks only the red ..and about two weeks ago i was thinking to get the grilled look so i bought a Black Stripe tape and i added to the tail making my own Grill design so here is how it looks ...the main and funny thing about this Tint and stripe stuff is if i get bored i simply push all the stuff out and no marks will be on the taillights ĦĦĦ
What you think bout this ??? Rate the pics please
