what u mean peoplez.. lol it's only your car that has it right noss?
Don't let the opinions of the average man sway you. Dream, and he thinks you're crazy. Succeed, and he thinks you're lucky. Acquire wealth, and he thinks you're greedy. Pay no attention. He simply doesn't understand.

to be fair, it wouldn't be ANTRX if we stayed on topic.

Noss is probably sick of explaining it, plus i dont think he wants anyone to COPY his original idea...just like the mags hey champ..??? I understand though. Try and imagine the effort it would take and i am sure you will agree noss has doen something i dont think many, if any others will ever do, solely due to te work involved.

i'm not replying because i'm sick of saying use the search button, and i'm sure people are sick of reading it. also suggesting that there is no such thing as an original idea is the stupidest thing i've heard. i dont care if my idea was original or not, however i'd say there is a fair chance that it was, but its still a rediculous statement.

noss for your reverse lamps couldnt you have just painted some bulbs blue and yellow so when they shone (is that a word) through the red lens the light goes white?

i havn't check this for a while, and obviously its a hot topic between certain people.

i dont want the mod just coz someone else has, i liked it coz it looked good, but if someone wants to keep their idea to themselves as to keep it original, thats cool by me, all im saying is that they look kick ass

How about converting your taillights to LED? That's what i'm in the middle of doing. The only dowmside is LED'S are expensive

Basically to do this so the R32 lights like OEM, certain sections near the rear taillights need to be welded up and shaped to the contour of the lights.
This is one area i don't touch, as cops will pick you up on it in an instance......when noss got defected for his lights, TMU (cops) said they were actually looking for his car on the street the weeks prior to the defection.  >:(
