That looks very nice! :p it took alot of fabrication no doubt?

there original rear ligh clusters. old housing and wiring etc removed so just outta skin. hole cutter used to drill 2 holes in each light. lights skimmed and smooted with filler. universal back truck/bus lights mounted in holes.

Hope thats of some help

Thankx for the info couse iv wanted to do such a conversion but didnt know where to start. Isnt there another silver s12 with custom kit and lights?

U do know this is how the lights where made for a fact right. Filler would crack on plastic the secend winter hits, unless something else was used? :???:

Fiberglass would be just fine even in the winter time, just make sure to sand the plastic well first

Hmm ... now I'm stuck.

I wanted to do the R30-31 style rears, but this would be hella easy, and way cheaper than getting someone to send me a set *lol*

my lights aint cracked and they have been done 3 years.

The old school Accords have lights like ours, at least they look like the correct dimensions. If they were the correct dimensions, then would the wiring be basically the same? there's a wrecked one near my house, so I may measure the dimensions later, and do a conversion much later.
