I'v been wanting to donate money to this community for a while now but unfortunately for lack of a better description im broke as shit. So i decided to take a leaf of charitys book and have an auction. Up for auction is my Great condition pre facelift tail light vents Post offers or PM me. I will run it Until the 17th of June Midnight (according to the sites time). The winner will have to pay for shipping on top of the winning bid ( unless its quite a high bid then i will take it out of the bidding money). And the rest will go directly to mafix! I'll post up shipping costs when i get a chance Upgrade from the USDM and help out the site, think about it its a win win! hopefully this is successful and if so we can see more efforts like this in the future. Thanks and get BIDDING!
no worries man as i said wanted to donate for a while but having no maney makes it hard lol. i just hope people get involved and bid bid bid! haha
postage to US and Canada is $9 AUS come on people this topic has many views but i havent heard anything from anyone. Bidding starts at $10 AUS. I chucked a set of these on ebay a while ago and they went for $65!. They are in brilliant condition, they are off my car! These things are even becoming hard to find here in Oz. If i begin recieving bids i will post up the current winning bid and keep the seller anonymous. get some jdm vents, quite possibly very cheap and more importantly help out the site!
Saw them on ebay and I'm confused You have them listed as JDM vents - I've never seen those on any JDM The JDM's have orange covers (AT160 - 88 ST162) the 89 has illuminated lenses but never those black ones What model are they from? Do they have a special backing plate as I can't see how they keep the rain out?
yer i chucked em on ebay im in debt and need some money asap They are standard here and as far as i knew they are JDM i thought you had them to. tehy are for the Pre tails, No backingplate you just pop them in
thats because yours are the post facelift. Thes are for the pre facelift. As far as i know there is no difference in USDM and JDM tail lights themselves. The difference is only in the inserts. On the pre facelift tails theres a slot on the top and the bottom for the tabs on the black vents (cant see the top tab in pic due to phot angle). You could cut the slots to make them fit, or cut off the tabs and glue them in. but IMO would be fidly and not wurthwhile as its a downgrade.
Sorry - these are pre-facelift on an 87 model Our facelift has illuminated lenses with a bulb housing Never seen the ones you are describing? Are those vents not USDM?
here in oz we have Pre 86-87.5 like this Post 87.5-89 like this We never had any light up inserts only the black vents for pre (pictured up the top) and the orange vents(the ones in your pic) for post. The USDM ones are both completely red, the post has a line through the middle to blend with the rest of the light. I know that the USDM post red insert lights up but not 100% on the pre
Checked through my archives and those were fitted to very early AT160's and 2SE engined cars (-1986?) here (JDM) The JDM GT4's (-88) all seem to have those fitted, strange Funny enough, they were used on the early TTE rally team cars as well but you need the really "old style" tail lights which are extinct here Best is to advertise them as AT160 items, I see the guys in Europe are fitted with them.
Heres 3 of the different taillights we have for north america depending on the year and weather its a coupe or hatchback
Mafix, I don't think Oz got the orange one's either That makes 4 versions for the hatch (black & orange missing) & 3 versions for the 162 Corona 2dr (yr coupe) - (chrome, that one and another with white lines around the inside of the lenses? The top one was std on JDM 89 models and the bottom one appears on our 89 JDM 2dr Corona's (VX) Any others? The USDM vs JDM sidelight - JDM ver does not have reflective material inside and looks dull in comparison, thanks st162rocket for supplying these
as if said previously, yes we did get the orange vents. our pre facelift had the blacks and our facelifts had the orange as standard through out all models. how else would i have been able to get so many and sell them?
