2G Tail lights conversion to 1G tail lights

[LTUDSM]

as a topic state
is it posible to do it?
maybe some of you guys did it and have a picture how does it look??!! thanks

 

[SpoolinV8ETR]

are you asking about putting 1G ligts on a 2G OR 2G lights on a 1G?

 

[GSTinCO]

His profile says he has a 1G but the question sounds like he wants to put 1G lights on a 2G, either way anything is possible, good luck.

Why would you want to mess with the style of the tail lights on the second gen? and second why would you put the first gen lights on them, that's like putting a turbo car to n/a! why,why.why?

 

[Defiant]

Huge amount of customizing to do either way, and I can't imagine it looking good.

i want to put 2g's Eclipse's Tail lights to my 1990 Eclipse, couse i don't like those stock ones,what else can i do to make my taillights look good????? thanks

 

[GSEclipse06]

you could buy those altezza's but i personally dont recommend it. im trying to do a swap to talon lights nad then since the center piece doesnt match im gonna buy this cf center piece i found on an online store. like defiant said...its gonna cost alot.

i like the 1st gen tail lights i put 92 eclipse tail lights in my 90 laser looks good you could always walk around it with a ballpeen hammer and give them the cyrstalized look , joking i like the idea of the center being carbon fiber i love carbon on anything it looks sweet its light ,but then what i come from everything is carbon fiber (7 years or radio controlled racing and still playing with little toy cars )what was the online store i would like to see about the carbon center section

dont you go stelain my idea.

putting 2g lights on your 1g will require alot of work, and quite possibly, due to the shape/curve of the 2g tails, not look right at all.
If you want aftermarket looking tails, get a set of 92-94 eclipse aftermarket ones

Man i had this idea since i got my 1g. ,yeah that center piece looks nice,along with some carbon fiber lights,they would match up good.I don't have the money to spend 150 bucks on a piece of carbon fiber so ill let you guys steal my idea..Don't steal my bumper either,bx sw20 here i come!1gb talons would look nice too,but fabbing up the 2g light would cost mad bank,and i don't know if they would flow.(fotochop anyone?)

would that tail light cover fit a 91 Talon or would they be different? My guess is they would be different?

 

[GSEclipse06]

hey thanks

I might have to try one of them out, but i'm hesitatnt to change anything on the outside of my car

If I post this in every thread, eventually the answer will be easy to find -

90-91 Talon, Eclipse and Laser tails are all the same size and shape. This means they are all interchangeable. They are also the SAME as 92-94 Eclipse tails. So...

90-91 Talon and laser tails are the same as 90-94 Eclipse tails.

If that peice fits a 92-94 eclipse, it will fit 90-91 talon/eclipse/laser.
The only 1gs with different style lights are 92-94 laser and 92-94 Talon.

thank you for posting that i was gonna put 1ga talon tails on my eclipse but i couldt figure out if they fit or not so i was gonna sue 1gb talon tials (end pieces not center piece).

stealing ideas??? what, i was barrowing ideas with intent to return that carbon senter piece is a sweet looking piece though. now i was wondering if it was just a replacement lens or if it was the whole center piece(with back and studs) . another question not really about this but related can you change the front clip on a 90 laser to a 92-94 eclipse i like those front ends better (but sleepy flip ups are cool too) if any one has any answers about this let me know, thanks

Actually, I'd love to get a set of the taillights on this car (none of the rest, the bumper and wing are fugly)...

unfortunately, the only kind I've been able to find are crappy Altezzas, whether they're in eye-gouging chrome, or tacky carbon-fiber-alike. Anyone know where to pick 'em up?

yes,you need the fenders,hood,lights,and of course the bumper,there are a number of threads on this already if you search.Back on topic,I like the tacky carbon fiber ones,but unless someone rearends me,i'm not changing that many apearence parts.

u can make the tail lights fit, i have 92 and up talon tails on my 90 tsi. You cannot just use the tails, cause the bumper still isn't gonna line up and the linner end of the tail lights havea curve to match with the middle piece, so the lines just won't go if u try to stick a straight center piece in
