Ideas for 4th gen tail light conv. (my rear got smashed) - Honda Prelude Forum

Cali Prelude · 11-10-2001, 02:20 AM

Hey guys, some of you know my car got rear ended.
I figure now would be a good time to do a tail light conversion.
So, any ideas would be great! Pics would be nice.
I've seen the r33 conversion and the is300 conversion and both are nice. Any others?

It might look nice, but WHY ON GOD'S/BUDDHA'S/ALLAH'S GREEN EARTH, would you put ANYTHING from a PiEcE oF sH!T "crustang" (let alone a Ford in general) on a great piece of efficient machinery like a Honda ... or ANY Japanese car. I'm a true-blue American, but do you agree with me??? It's from a FORD ... Fix Or Repair Daily. I don't mean to dis anybody, but that's blasphemous. Sorry if it seems like I'm mad at you, I'm not ... I just hate anything to do w/ fords... YUCKY

Hmmmm...i was thinking a 2002 monte carlo rear end.....ummmmmmmmmm..NO!!

In all honesty, this is the only thing i would think about doing. Check this out:

I love it!!! Skyline R33 tail lights.

Cali Prelude · 11-11-2001, 04:43 PM

Yep... Love that one!
But, gotta find a place to get the tail lights still.
And, was looking at other tail lights, trying to be unique.
The R33 one looks tight but its been done a few times already that I've seen.

Go to Options Auto Salon to find the tailights that you need they have tonnes of jdm stuff www.optionsautosalon.com

Jon -- you'll have a f0ckin hell of a time finding some conversion that hasn't been done yet...

To tell you the truth, I think a set of 5th gen tail lights would look nice on there. Or 2nd gen Integra lights.. 1992-1993ish. You need to find something that will look clea, and follow the curves of the rear. I like the new TL taillights, but I don't think they'd fit right.

Go for and Integra rear then do 5th Gen prelude taillights...
i think it'd be tight! It's my dream to do but i don't go tthe dough to do it!

h23a Lude · 11-15-2001, 07:54 PM

I would go with the stock taillights, but clearing out the bottom rectangle with a clear film.....

twisted_prelude · 11-15-2001, 08:16 PM

3.2 CL Type-S (red and white) rear tail-lights.

thatchmaster · 11-15-2001, 10:51 PM

Jon, there's a set of R32 taillights on ebay right now.

-Erik

Cali Prelude · 11-16-2001, 11:02 AM

Erik, thanks... I'd rather do R33 lights rather than r32.

Find me some! hehe

VtecLudeR · 11-16-2001, 12:15 PM

S-Class MBZ!!! Those are sweet w/ the led type brake lights at the top of the light. Havent seen any of those.

PreludeNYC · 11-17-2001, 10:33 AM

if you have a 4th gen why not put 5th gen tail lights?
or keep it like it was, i dunno i am not into cross sharing body parts with other cars... i like my prelude to look like a prelude and get respect for it is, just how i think tho...

i wouldn't want to burrow from another car, that at it which it doesn't burrow. in other words how many non preludes do you see driving with our body parts?

dflipmode · 11-19-2001, 11:20 AM

keep it stock...why the hell would you want your prelude to look like other cars...honda prelude=nissan skyline, honda prelude=mustang...F*ck no...just leave it the way it is...and represent the lude ...dont do any conversion to it...if you like the other taillights, then just get the damn car...never copy of anything...
