Exterior WTB: JDM/Acura Taillights

[Big McLargeHuge]

Reposting since the old WTB thread was sent to the void. Looking for a set of L & R taillights (maybe center lens too), prefer JDM darker lenses, and used if possible for an LED conversion. Prefer no noticeable cracks in lens or badly warped ones. Show me what you got

TIA

FYI, you need the whole set as you SHOULD NOT mix and match JDM/USDM/EU. The colors and casings are different unless that is the look you desire.

Thanks for the link, but looks like the seller doesn't like newbies bidding and the shipping for oversized items might be killer.

Wasn't planning on mixing the different colors, but I was considering wrapping them in smoked film if necessary.

It should cost you about $150 to have it shipped to you via Buyee. I've had a bunch of things received and shipped...pretty neat operation, but it is not inexpensive.

Also, my JDM taillights have a clear plastic cover over the red plastic. Seems completely unnecessary. So using JDM taillights and a USDM center piece would not quite match, but might be a cool effect otherwise.

Welp, I ended up bidding and winning the auction so thanks for the link. If the logistics work out it should come out at a reasonable price overall for a set to tear apart. I'll have to see about the smoke paint and broken studs to repair.

The genuine hurdle you are going to have to overcome is the urge to dilute your shopping cost by buying more items... which combined will cost you little more than the current cost; so essentially free shipping on your next few items for the next 30! days of included storage.

(I'm giving away all my competeve edges...soon all of 'Prime will start bidding on bits of NSX stuff. My little payback for all the help I've gotten over 20 years of others.)

Lol I hoped you weren't also bidding on it. That's the first thing I've bought, I'm sure I can find some other non-car related items to package in too. Now you've really done me in haha. I think most owners in the US still stick to trying to buy from dealers out of convenience.

Dood, just broadcast and I'll either drop out or flip for it. I maintain general non compete policy with colleagues...

I am always on the lookout for Bose parts, CCUs, and clusters.

I definitely still owe you & Wayne for the trans swap help

in thise link, those are tinted/painted lights. Cause they are way darker than they should be.

Yep, the ad description said they were smoke painted. I didn't mind, might try removing the paint/wrap/whatever myself if it comes to that. There's quite a few broken studs as well which I'll have to fix. They will be torn apart anyways so I wanted something cheap to experiment with.
