89 coupe clears...56k no way..

[frankie89]

yeah the ones mase made aint fit so i custom made mine using his techniqe so here it is..(ya might wanna sticky this)

first is you take off the tailights (this is coupe style older model dont have the extra bottom) break off the lens using a pair of plyers, make sure ya dont cut ya selfs (i did) take off all colored plastic, but be careful not to break inner clear plastic..

it should look like this..

mask off surrounding area and paint inner plastic with refective paint..

then carefully slide back in clear plastic.. after that you should get some thin plexiglass and heat up where da bends go, and forn to the light ok..add some silicone and seal that light up tight.(oh yeah get the right colored bulbs for legal reasons..

and this is the final result hope ya like.. it aint so hard..

hmm...did you heat up the thin plexy glass up with a heat gun? how thin is it,1/8th inch? What did you use to cut the plexy? Just some extra helpful hints.

[frankie89]

well i used the plexi from the ones i had, but it seems easy just to but a this piece and heat it up enough just to form around the corners.. and to cut a simple dremel should do the trick..

[superaccord]

oh, so you didnt make the glass on those? who did? How thick is it?

[frankie89]

the ones i have before these military mase made them, i bought them off of him but they aint match up. he got a 87 accord 4 door, i got a 89 2 door so he made the plexi bends and i just used them on my 89. i still have th 87 clears without plexi, im gonna make a set of bends and add them to the 87 clears and see who wants them.

doesnt look bad, but i hope youre going to do the center ones too? lol looks in its current state of being.

Looks good, fairly simple. Might be something i expirement with, on another set of lights of course.

[superaccord]

I was thinking half red half clear...

[halxi]

really?

ditto... lol

how do you plan to do the trunk lid lenses? i think it would be easy for you to take what you've done for the outer corners and make them half red/clear.

Very nice, basically what i'm doing with my lights. Althought I might tint the lenses a smidge, and also what are you doing about globes? LEDS or Incandescent?

I tried LED replacements but didn't like 'em.

Also that chick in your avatar, any more pics

[frankie89]

yeah i was thimking half red and half clear also, but what paint should i use. the red bulbs in there now make the red part look pink..The center one are gonna be removed and filled in some way, ill figure it out. it will look like the pic below.

[Deadhead]

why does that picture remind me of the lights off of my old VW FOX?

lol

But i like the clear idea though... wonder what it would look like on my Hatch? Photoshop anyone?

[jigga225]

tight man, people have been wanting clears. Could u have used some reflector clear instead of see thru?
