Default R32 skyline lights????

Iv just painted a r32 skyline shell for my drift car in iridescentpaint with glitter and i looks unreal, so im keen on making it look better by fitting some L.E.D frount and rear lights so im in need of some light brackets to suit the r32 skyline shell but i cant find them any where, So if anyone knows where i can buy them it would be great


Cheers
Dave

I was just about to ask the same question LOL!

Anyways, I don't think anyone makes R32 lights so the closest thing you can use are Tamiya R34 lights (from the Skyline Z-tune kit). The problem is I don't know who sells them separately though... can anyone provide me with a link?

Thanks![8D]

You should be able to just tape your LED's into position and they should shine through..
I am hoping you did leave the light area clear when you painted the shell?

Yep, but I'm still looking for light buckets to help secure the LEDs in place, not just using tape.

I've compared my Silvia lights and they're a bit too thin. I'd like to try the Yokomo ones, any ideas on where to get some?

Here are a couple of pics...sorry for the quality, but you'll see how to install. Light buckets are just a separately molded piece of plastic. You just paint them black, or whatever color and ream little holes in them to hold the LED's. I also mounted the sequence button on the outside of the shell. Hope this helps...
