$5 intergrated tailight

[hardlydangerous]

I started out with a damaged tailight I had plan on replacing anyway so if it did not work no big deal. But it actually works perfect and alltogether took me about 30 minutes and cost less then $5.
All I used was a tube of 5 minute epoxy from walmart, and a couple old makerlights I had layin around and a pop can.
its so simple I dont even really need to write up a how to... just drill two holes and stick the guts from a marker light into the housing and epoxy them into place. Then I cut a couple pieces of aluminum dr.pepper can and epoxied them in place to seperate the tail/brake light from the signals.
looks like this







BRAKE LIGHT


TAIL LIGHT


SIGNAL LIGHT

If the bulbs were colored and the lens clear, that would be awesome!

Good job on the mod though.

Unfortunately, not that I've found. It would be a custom job probably. I would make one if I didn't already have enough project sitting around in the works.

MrBrandt even posted a link to the website I had looked at prior on how to take a casting and then make your own replacement lens. Not hard to do at all.

I think it works great from the pics. I just really would prefer the turn signals flash yellow. That's probably the only reason I've not done an integrated setup on any of my Pre 600 tails.

But again... looking good.
