Any interest gen1.5 tails?

by **02slera** » Mon Dec 07, 2009 5:24 pm

I just ordered gen 1 tail lights for my gen 1.5 solara. They should arrive this week, I'm wondering if anyone may be interested in buying my gen 1.5 tail lights im taking off the car. My honest personal opinion is that the gen 1 tail lights look better during the day, but the gen 1.5 tail lights look better at night when lit up.

im in virginia, price im not sure, i JUST checked ebay and others are asking $60-$92 for just ONE tail light for the gen 1.5! im thinking $50 for the pair is a good price.

is that shipped?

let me know

by **02slera** » Wed Dec 09, 2009 6:11 pm

no not shipped. not THAT good a price LOL. I will say that if they dont sell here i will put them on ebay for the same price... $50 for the pair + shipping. if i cant get that then i may just experiment with them, trying different mods and what not.

so $57 shipped?

ah i cant say as i dont know what it would cost to ship them. looks like i will have my new ones tomorrow so i can put the old ones in that box and go to post office and see how much to ship.

finally the new lamps are on the car! i've packed the old lamps in the box and its ready to go. have not had a chance to go by ups and get a price, will do that as soon as i can.

NOW... the lamps are in great condition with one defect... on the passenger side brake light, one of the four studs is broken off. its the bottom, outside stud. it still mounts fine and tight and you'd never know it was missing.
I also found out that it isnt quite as easy as "plug and play" on switching gen 1 and gen 1.5 tail lights... they almost match exactly with the exception of one of the three bulbs doesnt have the grooves in the same exact spot. what i did is simply take a knife to the housing and cut a small notch where it needed to be and it works perfect now. So if your putting these gen 1.5 lamps on a gen 1 solara you will have to cut a small notch in the housing where that one bulb wont quite go into place. very easy mod.

can i get a pix of the broken part and do you still have it?

by **02slera** » Sun Dec 13, 2009 7:16 pm

will get pics all the way around asap. i still have the tail lights if thats what you mean, the stud that is broken off i do not have, it was already like that and i never knew it. i've owned the car only about 3-4 months.
