Tail Light Questions
 

Hi been lurking and learning for a few months and pick up my first P-car, a '02S tomorrow.

Anyway, I'm seeing what appears to be different tail light versions and even after a search can't decipher the info. How many different versions are there? For example I see this one which looks like a stock tail with either translucent red vinyl cut-out over the yellow signal or painted with metal cast maybe?

Then there is this one.

Are these the ones in the picture above?

And finally, these ones I really like. What version are these?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi! the first picture is the Anniversary Edition (04') and the second one is mostly what other member get when they want to de-amberfied (smoked version) their Box and the small pix are the clear version.

the very bottom one is different from the other light coz' it's has, i think LED's on it. i like it too but not too much to put on my box :D

*correct the info if im wrong*

I have those same tail lights that are on the bottom one. I got them through e-bay. They are called euro-tail lights or something like that. I like them. The LED's are very bright. Looks great too!

Just get the Boxster already man! You'll love it much more than the Tiburon!

BTW, I still have the normal tails with amber turn lenses. Eventually I'm planning on going clear, and will also replace the sidemarkers with clear. My headlights and front turn signals are already clear... so I'm part of the way there already.

I like the euro tail lights too, I even ask a friend to put his euro lights on mine just to see and it look really good but i got scared of how much will it cost me to replace the LED's. :o

the 1st one that you posted, on the back car, u can make those out of your existing lights for about 3 dollars :) you can get the paint at a hobby store, its a transparent candy apple red paint in a regular spray can

Congrats on the purchase.
I'm a little worried for you though, based on the weather. :(
Plans still on?

Yeah me too, but I'm focusing all my energy on the law of attraction for a small window of opportunity. If not I'll go get it on thurs or friday. LOL

That's likely what I'd start with and put my money towards Litronics. I did my current car with the translucent spray paint called 'Metalcast', but then went with a translucent self adhesive red vinyl that is much better. I was suprised not to see that available for the Box. Maybe I can make that happen.

Thanks for the help everyone.
Cheers,
Rick

You can find the last set of light on ebay here: OptionRacing
I have a set and I like them, hard to beat the price - see this post blink blink....

I used MetalCast red spray to paint them all red, I love it. Makes the ocean blue paint on my box look alot darker and richer somehow.
