driving it now, so maybe less than a week would be appreciated, but if a week is necessary, than i can maybe buy a replacement set, and hold the new ones in storage until you can make a center light kit.

In that case if you cannot find different tailights, I could probably do them in like three or four days...one day to prep the housings, one day to assemble lenses, and one day to install lenses plus one extra day...


Let me know..

I hey man, dont let anyone ever get to ya! People are just pressed cause you make something look good and people that normally scream rice are all over it for their cars! Rock on bro! Personally i want to see pictures. I was photoshopping my car last night. I was also thinking, can i get a kit that would only make the the orange lenes white? So i would have 2 white and one red up to, and the whole bottom red? I think i might have to find a second set of taillamps!

I can't pull my lights now as I still drive the car. Aren't the lenses a do it yourself install?
I want an all red set but I won't have the cash until after the 1st of the month.

Hey Blue S2 - My thoughts exactly, i would love to find something that just replaced the one amber/yellow lense with a white one that matches the reverse light. I think that would be a huge improvement on the looks, but still remain factory looking.

I think in one of the earlier threads about this i posted the pictures of the two euro guys who produce lense like that. I will also be looking more into that as an option. But ofcourse id like to see where this goes first

I'm also looking to just get rid of the one amber rear lens and replace it with clear. I have an extra set of very good condition taillights for an early 944. I am going to hold on to them for a while in case I need to do a swap if a clear lens upgrade becomes available, otherwise I will probably let them go in a couple months. If you're interested, PM me and I'll keep it for later reference.

Why keep the old looking tailight, and rather than just updating a quarter of it, update the entire thing..? I have that look now on my 944 of just the corner and reverse lenses all clear...Im sure you guys have seen that..But I know it has to be the same exact pattern...good luck... It also just lloks better when you replace both lenses, the reverse and turnsignal...go and bust out your amber turnsignal lense you will see why...remeber the swedish pics..the offset....
