talon tail light conversion

[six10audio]

if anyone has any information about converting a talon to eclipse taillights please let me know how difficult it will be to do.

theres ALOT of threads about this. Its only really as hard as unbolting and rebolting parts.

You need an eclipse rear bumper. The only hard part (or semi hard that is), is creating little mounting brackets to hold the bumper up. Its actually really easy, becuase there are spots from the factory where it should be mounted.

The tail lights bolt right in.

A Talon is a little harder to convert than the eclipse. You will have to drill holes for the taillights, as well make or buy some brackets to hold the bumper up in the middle. It seems sturdy without the middle brackets, but it sags down and you can see the big gap between the bumper and the taillights.

lack of pics

i need to know if anyone has pics of those brackets they devised because thats my next project.

I can take some pics, if you can wait till next friday. Thats my next day off, so I can rip apart the car then.

we seriously need a bowdown smilie for cases like this!

i look at that gap all the time and it sucks because im ashamed after getting all this work done and it looks bad

thats so awesome thanks man,

 

[BlueTalon95]

A day late, man, sorry. Heres the brackets i used. Standard L Brackets that I got at H & E for a couple of bucks.

 

[BlueTalon95]

Heres the brackets installed on the car, four brackets total, all under the center taillight

Pull the bumper over and put bolts through. I used the nuts in the second picture on the other side of the bolt.

 

[BlueTalon95]

And look, no more gap!
