I also want to know whwer you got them. How much were they?

 

i think i might make them a little darker. but here are mine.

 

1st gen TYC's

 

Hey everybody, I'm a soon-to-be xB owner, and i was just wondering what kinda price is
it for the Helix tail lights shown in the previous posts? I hope to soon afford a TCM one locally owned....

 

I love the Helix lights, but I'm not sure the HiPo that lives around the corner would share the same sentiment

 

OOOO look, a 67-72 Chevy! sweet.

This is a cool thread. Mine are the most common of candied, I thought.. at least the look, but maybe not the method.

 

Snowy Heron/Chargespeed style:

 

this is a mask-off and paint style? looks interesting. thx!

 

No, they are fiberglass covers that are painted body color. There is a vendor in the sponsored sales section that offers a vinyl overlay in red or black though. I made a post about these tail lights here: https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=59939

 

Stop lights are red, violets are blue. Here are my taillights, illistrated for you.

xBox spelled out and a large, crome exhaust tip.

 

I like those "1st generation" TYC's

I like the current TYC's and so I thought I wanted those. High bucks, tho, for a fashion item (local dealer says "$330! *what a rip, others sell much cheaper*).
That prospect, of paying even $200 or so for TYC steered me to go look for better value. XBhawk's red-framed Altezza's got me thinking that I like these in red frames. Idid not so much care for the chrome or black frame versions.


Here's what I just bought today for $81 delivered. Yes, from Ebay.

Red frame


Red light.. Yellow light.. Clear reversing light

sidebar: what comes next may sound goofed, but I'm serious!

All I need for a true stoplight look is can of Testor's modeling spray paint in transparent green. sci-SiCk on a budget.

how would you use that green light?

Waaaaaal I am thinking this plan out! Make the bottom lamp green. Not to be used as a backup light, but as a _GO_ light!



huh! but I am serious, dudes! with relays and simple wiring the green lights could be made to operate when the go-pedal is pressed half way.

ahhhhh! Sooooooo SIcK!

i am that

whut do you think? have you seen red yellow green lamped tails before, ever? and the green serves a function!
This scheme tells drivers behind whether the box is POWERING up,, or just cruising, or coasting down.

 

good thread

 

thank you. the guys are putting in some great pictures!
I am best at making comedy cuz I am a harmless friendly clown.

 

ok, i should not hijack my own thread! back to tail light treatments.

ya remember what Charles Dickens' poor little orphan character, Oliver Twist, asked cuz he was hungry:

"Please, sir, I'd like some more, please"

what the divvil are ye begging for, ye scamp!!!!

"more tails, please, sir"

 

here are mine...
