For Aaron

For Aaron

They are lovely from the back too,

Will they be body color or black or Oympic Blue and sent to The New New Jersey?

What does one do for reversing lights with this setup? Are there some nicer roundies that have the reversing lights built in?? (IIRC - the Elise ones have the reversing lights in the middle or something)....

get those bad boys wrapped in a CF layer

body color would be bad ass on joes ride

Is this the first prototype?

Or is there a thread showing these already installed?

Rich

I want !! were do I buy? very cool!

I think these are the first production set.

They're $300 from MikeS. ar_concepts@hotmail.com.
(818) 470-5700

These are going to be satin black and I don't have a back-up light arrangement anyway. They are available with a white light though.

How will you seal them to car so water doesnt get behind them?

EEk gawds. 300?

They look nice and all... but i'll pass....

I inquired in the original thread about reverse lights and they are available. Link below,last page has a listing of available color combos. I am probably going to be running a 3 light setup on my car when I get around to it

I won't.

so cool! are there any other photos of these taillights on the web? very interested! I would like to see the three lighter or at least a set on a car. come on I need something! please? I'm all excited and have nothing too drool over!

Wow, they look great, but $300?
I guess I will have to put that on the back burner for now.
I want to build a 914-4 version of a 911R and those tail lights would fit right in. That will be my next project.
Maybe later.

1 new rear euro lens is 185 bucks...

a new housing is liek another 100?


i hate porsche pricing for these damn vee dubs

That's exactly right.

It's not really that much if you break it down:

2 Hella brake lights: ~$30 each
2 Hella combo lights: ~$40 each
6 bulbs: ~$15
2 housings: ~$65 each
Shipping: $15

I have no idea if this is how it actually breaks down, but it makes the price seem reasonable. All the Hella parts are very high quality and I have a feeling the housings will fit perfectly.

Update: I just spent about an hour doing a test-fit on the RS. Let's just say the housings will require considerable 'refinement' to fit properly.

To be fair, I can't guarantee the RS meets any factory standard in the tail light openings after all these years. The left housing is going to take significantly less work than the right.

On the right housing, I had to use the Dremel to even get it to go in the opening and it ended up being so thin in a couple of places that holes have developed.

Don't look for pictures for a few days. I have a lot going on and a day of fiberglass work wasn't really on the list.

I can say that they'll look right when I'm finished with them.

Standby.

thats a bummer joe

I have three sets of R lites but have not advertised because they did not come with the studs for mounting them. I have asked Mark to send me a set that will work. Hopefully I will get some. More later.

Mine have SAE studs. I found out they were SAE when I pulled out a die to chase the threads to remove epoxy. They should really have metric hardware.

If they didn't have studs, it would be a LOT of extra work.

I got back on it this afternoon.

Here's the first installed picture on any 914:

More... More!!

Show us the money pic!!!

That's all for now. The right side needs much more work (but I'm blaming the RS, not Mike).


......and they're not wired yet....

it needs a third light...

Red/amber----------RED-------------Red/clear center

(for reverse) Is what I have in mind

I think the arrangement for reverse lights is still a two-light system.

QUOTE (Series9 @ Feb 28 2006, 05:23 PM)

It is . It's a 50/50 split red and white just like the red/amber light. I thought a red outer with a clear center would look better Like the 308/328 Ferraris Probably make the car faster too

I'm not positive on the arrangement of the clear section in the second light, but definitely have the impression there are a total of two lights, not three.

Misunderstanding now understood!! What I'm thinking of, and I think Aaron as well, is a setup with 3 seperate units. Outer light being for the turn and ?? center being parking and brake and the insdie light being for the reverse and ?? (?? = parking or brake)

The 911R versions available on the bird board are both ways, 2 and 3 light combo's.

This system looks like a good deal to me, I have purchased several sets of used 914 taillight housings, all have been junk. New housings from the bird board are $457 ea!!!!!!!!! so $300 does not sound that bad 2 me.

Finished. I have about five hours of labor in them, but they look great:

Damn, your ride is fine, Joe!!!!!!

Very Cool!!!!

Me too...........

Looks great nice work!! tooks some liberties with your photo... heres 3 lights Click to view attachment

Someone asked about my wheels. 993, 17 x 7", w 205's The rear lip is pinched, thats all, still room for more.
