Tailight Conversion ?

[zacharyo]

Okay well honestly i love the rear tailights on r31 skylines,

and i was wondering if i could put them on my ke70, i know i need to cut a bigger whole maybe weld plates etc probably rewire etc

but is it unroadworthy if i do ? it's just something different and I'm sure it hasn't been done before so I'm really interested, like really interested.

any input would be really helpful !

Grab a tape measure and head to your local wrecker. Find out if they will fit.

 

Then talk to your local traffic authority about the legal side of it :)

Yeah someone on skylinesaustralia told me to go to a wreckers and buy a pair that way i can put them up to the car aswell see if theres enough space.

And i'm pretty sure if i have a proper bracket that its roadworthy, I'm unsure about the rewiring but

thanks mate

Use all your original wiring, shouldnt be a drama. I actually considered doing this. But I think they will be too big to suit. Plus skylines are ghey so why ruin a rolla with the lights. :P

 

Keep us updated if you decide to do it I'd be keen to see the results :y:

Pretty sure they'd be too high.. and Ke70 ones are wider i think

Id cut the whole bit surrounding the lights out and weld it in.

Yeah my plan was to cut and weld plates etc,

In theory it should work :D

[oh what a nissan feeling!]

Buy a skyline perhaps?

 

I had the same idea when i was about 18, very happy that i never followed through with it.

I don't know I'm pretty sure it has been done. A mate of mine was thinking of doing it to his and he said he knew someone who just cut the metal surround out of the 31 and welded into the Ke.

Never seen it about though. And the lights may look too big for the ke70 as the 31 is a fair bit wider but give it a go man just for something different :)

Well if its already been done then i guess I'm not that into it, i just wanted something different.

i know they will be bigger i was sorta going for that, i reckon it would look cool and set me aside from the standard jdm tailights on ke's.

I'l most likely go through with it, i'd like to know if there are any other tailights that will look good but its hard cause the ke is so square.

I was contemplating ae86 tail lights in a Ke70
