Will the JDM rear lights also fit the UK Celica?

IPB Image

The UK model has a slightly different rear because of the number plate height. Probably doesn't make a difference?

It will fit. The number plate is the only thing that is different, it doesn't affect the tail lights.
will the afterburners fit anything after a 97?? I would like to get them but ive heard that they only fit 94-97
They'll fit fine after 97

I really like these LED style ones, would I be able to do something along the lines of this with my US '95 GT hatchback taillights? How would I make a clear lense for them?

I really like the "Afterburner" lights, but they seem a bit pricey at over $400, are they available at a cheaper price anywhere else?

I want to have circular LED style taillights, such as what is currently on the '05/'06 Infiniti M45 and G35 Coupe, with the Sedan having a slightly different taillight design.... Without doing a complete taillight conversion, how would I go about re-creating the look?

This is the style I want to make:

'05 Infiniti G35 *Sedan* Double circle LED Taillights (I really like these):
IPB Image

'05 Infiniti G35 *Coupe* Single LED Circle, Triple LED strip Taillights:
IPB Image

'06 Infiniti M45 Double Circle LED Taillights (I really light these too):
IPB Image


What I am trying to go for is simply the LED Circle part, not the entire taillight area.... Could I get some taillights from either the G35 Sedan or M45 and take them apart, and modify the LED Circles/housing to fit into the stock Celica GT Hatchback taillight housing, and put a crystal clear lense over them (the housing would be painted body color, which is currently black...not ricer style chrome or bright silver)???

Can someone do a photoshop of these for me shown on my black '95 GT Hatchback (or another Black 6th Gen with the same bodykit??)

Here is a rear pic of my car:
IPB Image

If anyone can do the photoshop as well as make the rear bumper gloss black to match, that would be cool thanks!! What do you guys think of my idea?










There are a few more choices, so I'm going to add this link to this post. click here
Man thanks so much for this...I have the JDM hatchback likghts....but I was just looking for euro lights (you know, the round-ish ones) that I see a lot of cars with, cuz I figured they would complement the round headlights. I can't believe there aren't any available! Ugh. If I ever get rich I might go for the quad conversions....don't know if I'm willing to spend that much just yet on tail lights...so I'll see...

edit: hadn't seen this second page...hmmm....I want to customize my tail lights!!!

Step one- buy JDM tail lights
Step two- slaughter them
Step three- hope you don't f*ck up JDM tails
Step four- put back together

That is going to be more expensive than every other tail light, because those are custom. Not mass produced.

Those aren't even the JDM Tail Lights. They are stock. Look at the black linings. It looks like they took the glass lens part off the JDM tail lights though. And they took a pair of LED tail lights and broke it up and most likely crazy glued it carefully together. That those Tail Lights look very precisely done and proffesionally done. Doesn't look half a$$ed and looks very clean.

Those are JDM. Notice they are flush, not indented where the lines are. Those are the JDM tail lights. Trust Me.

they dont look like them, the jdm lining is normally different, but then again, meh

but will i have to go to aerokraft-kaze.com to get lens like that, because the exterior lens looks different than a standard jdm.

The guy that made them lives in the UK. They don't have USDM lights in the UK. It only looks different because I believe he tossed the original lens and created his own. I know there is a thread around here about it.

This was one of the ones where he confirms..

And 95celicast wins the prize.

Standard UK tails, oven, unstick lens from main body, create all the internals myself (NOT some kit I just disassembled and reglued together) circuit board was created from scratch and etched myself, perspex was moulded to the correct shape to refit into the existing main body (which had serious modification to fit the flat boards in!), currently perfecting the way the lens fastens to the body.

Thanks for the positive comments, they have cost me a fair amount both £'s and time. Still for the only set like this on the planet I think its worth it.

Might consider making a couple more pairs but would end up needing to charge £300 for them.
ill buy them if u paint the parts u have black red 4 me lol. they look sweet.

like two weeks ago i entered this forum and i foud some pics similar to those, they were from a guy who supposedly he made them, does someone knows where they are at?
the reason u dont see too many celicas w/ the afterburner tailights, is prolly because there about 400 bucks a pair at Quadconversions.com. Well at least thats the reason i dont have them.
man if i got those ^ the tail end of my car would look the exact same... same spoiler and back bumper. i like them though :-p

**If you play My Brute, joing the 6gc.net clan!**--A section of a kid's actual test that had been scanned--
"A popular choice is the JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) tail lights that were available from 96-99 in Japan. These are available from your local Toyota dealer and (less expensive) from places like ToyotaWorld.com"


...You sure? I just went today, and they told me they aren't made anymore so I can't get them at a dealership. Just wondering. smile.gif

dealerships wont distribute JDM parts unless you give them a part number only. Don't walk in and say "Hi, I would like some JDM tail lights"

Just wondering what color is the inside of the tail light when the lens is off? Is there color?
