V35 250Gt Tail Lights For 300Gt?

[itsRICHARD]

Hey,

I was wondering if anyone knows a place where I can grab 250GT tail lights and inner trunk lights to add onto the 300GT? Located in Melbourne btw

Here's a picture of the tail lights I'm after:

And this is the 300GT tail lights (pictures a 350GT but it's the same tail lights)

Thanks,

Richard

They are series 2 tail lights, and should be the same on any S2 V35 (250,300,350)..

If you looked in the V35 faq -Read this before posting, you would that they are a direct fit and go straight In.

Yes, in case you didn't figure it out from the above posts, lights are not linked to model numbers, but rather model series. The lights you like are Series 2 - so ANY series 2 lights will fit your car. Be aware though - if you buy a set of the USA they will have no orange on them for the indicator lenses and as such are technically illegal here in Aus.

Oh okay, I thought the series 2s are the ones without the release ledge on the boot (the one I'm looking at), 2004 model 300GT.

Every 300GT I took a look at that's currently in the market no matter what year have the same tail lights.

Anyone know where I can source these Series 2 JDM tail lights from?

EDIT: Looked it up a bit more so late 04 models+ are the series 2s. No series 2 300GT in the market.

Tried looking around but I can't seem to find all the differences between Series 1 and Series 2 300GTs

Series one sedans had two boot styles (smooth with release on the inside near the TC button and the "doggy door" style) and one tail light style with the three lines of LEDs.

Series Two had on boot style (smooth with a release button under the left tail light) and one tail light style with the twin round LED rings to bring it back to skyline tradition.

Both boots and tail lights are interchangeable. A smooth boot does not mean its a series two

In regards to where you can get series two lights, Nuwan from import revolution has heaps of sedans wrecking and quoted me $400/450 for the set Including the boot lights.

Thanks, I actually just called him up an hour ago to check but he was busy so I gotta wait for him to call me back.

you could find them new on ebay at 250 each delivered from US (so 500 not including reverse lights). occasionally they pop up with orange indicator lenses, but most are sold with red.

I personally have the all red ones only because i reeeeaaaaaally dont like orange lenses anywhere on the car. with an orange globe the light comes out slightly orange anyway.

to get a full set of series 2 tails for under 500 is a bargain

I prefer the JDM series Two rear lights, its not a noticeable orange like the series one and looks cleaner and more skyline with the circles of light instead of the lines

heres mine with the all red lenses

ive disconnected the US spec side position light (only visible from the side). Indicators are ebay spec 21xSMD T20 globes in orange. im not sure if these are very visible when the car is in full sunlight.... shown here illuminated above park lights (not brake)

ive never liked the indicator being above the brake lights so im working on a mod to fix this

[Deep Dish V35]

^^ pulled the car apart today and turns out my globes were still the white SMD's.... bought orange ones but it appears i never put them in so did it today.

colour difference is much more orange when lit.

if its legal to have clear indicator lenses with orange globes, i dont see why red lenses with orange globes are going to be an issue, especially if you dont tell the inspector "LOOK - red lenses!"

some cars like toyota echo even have pink lenses..
