Hey guys, Im about to get another 240 and one of the decideing factors in what body Im going to get concerns the fastbacks tail light conversion. Does everything bolt in or do I have to do much trimming? Just give me a rundown of whats involved and Id be very happy. Thanks

 

pop those puppies on and ur good to go..i belive there is no work needed to fit em on.

 

this is the part of the question i don't get. by 'which body', r u referring to different generations of hatchback (89-90 or 91-93), or hatchback vs coupe??

 

He shoul dbe talkin bout the HB kus those are the only ones w/ differnt lights..unless hes talking about a 95-96 -> 97-98 taillights

 

i dunno. that's the way it came across to me. like that guy in the other thread that was askin about hatchback tails on the convertible. perhaps it was misworded, but the only "body" types that i know of r coupe/notchback and fastback/hatchback...

 

 

Sorry that was unclear. I ment tail lights from a 180sx to a hatchback

 

180sx in the jdm 240 hatch... you mean kouki (2nd) tail lights of a 180... they changed after what is it? 95?

 

methinks ur right.
it's kool. i wasn't sure. yeah, they slap right on.

 

yes they do, but when you buy the lights, MAKE sure to order the whole kit, not just the 2 lights themselves. Ebay sells the lights for like $350, but you're screwed because you need the center piece and the long black piece that goes underneath it all to fit.

hey Doc, isn't there a difference w/the lock set, too?

 

from what i'm told, yes there is. I'm looking into gettting a used set next week, i'm trying to talk the guy down to $300 traded for a stock set, heh.

The wiring as well will need to be spliced, but thats not hard.

cool. i thought i read that somewhere before. i also thought that there would be some splicing involved. i could see me now:

***bzzappP!*** "owww... hey, does anyone smell fried bologna?"

 

yummmm

 

I've seen the splicing guide, it's not that hard at all for anyone that can do basic electrical. If you can't do that, you don't deserve the kouki's and must give them to me.
