Skyline lights

[blingmachine]

I have looked far and wide for an elusive set of lexus style clusters for my nova but never managed to find any. Was gonna go for afterburners but then found you need lights in the bumper so Fuck that.

went down the bodyshop and saw a civic having R33 skyline lights fitted, so it struck me why not put some on my nova!! :D

Has anyone done this yet, thought it would be quite an original touch.

[dave.gsi]

lol, dont think anyone has done it yet. youd definately be the first

[Dare-devil]

Get it done m8..

And remember to put pics up of the work. :wink:

[epo]

i was lookin through total vauxhall and saw lexus lights 4 the mk2 astra

how hard r they 2 fit 2 a nova surly it wont be that hard as they aint much different in size 2 the nova r they????

[olly55]

mk astra lights wud b a very sublte mod, would look wel ltoo, the main thin ud have ti di is cut into the rear 1/4 as the astra lights slope into the rear 1/4 where as the nova one butt up in line

[blingmachine]

good point, i never thought about the astra lights, but now ive got the whole skyline lights thing in my head i just gotta do it.

Would be in keeping with the the jap theme of my car :wink:

theres a corsa somewhere around with skyline rear lights, i had thought about doing it to my nova, but i might as well stick with the clear rear clucters, too lazy really! but this job will deffo make it lok mint!

are you talking about the fronts or the rear skyline lights?

[blingmachine]

rear for the moment, not sure that i wanna mess with the front any more than i have

pvd do a lexus rear light for a 5 door corsa. this looks better and also is similar in size to a nova rear but is more tapered at the top.

[epo]

aye never thought of corsa (daft ass i am :lol: )

[Dare-devil]

I think these would fit on, with out alot of work.

as much as i like them i cant see them being the same hight as standard nova clusters. as there from a pickup they must be huge!

[Dare-devil]

If you look at an Chevy pick-up, it look's like they are about the same hight as on a Nova.

dont think they'd be that hard 2 fit
angle grinder time :twisted:

[djp_y2k]

fit em, they look cool.

[Dare-devil]

I just found out that on a Astro Van the rear lights are 330mm high and 90mm wide, so they are a little bit to high. :?

But maby 1 of the other ones would fit, with some small work. :D

[nova m@rk]

at the end of the day ne thin will fit jus how much effort & time & money u is willin 2 put in was thinkin about fonin over the states an askin them 2 measure them 4 us then rememberd long distance = long fu*kin phone bill so am still debating might jus use the works phone aint got2 pay 4 that then... :twisted:

[Dare-devil]

Great. Then keep us posted. :wink:
