Default Modified 92 tails VS. Stock (merged threads - compare pics added)

I'd say I'm 99% sure i'm the first person to do this in America. I took the reflectors out of the 92 style tail lights. Yep thats right. Holy **** it looks bad a$$!!! Ill get pics up tonight or tomorrow as my batterys are dead for the camera. It takes about 2hrs per tail light to do being real careful with a heatgun. Then you have to REHEAT it to put it back together. Ill never do it again unless $ is involved. Hows the light pattern?? Beautiful! Better then OEM.

nice job man, it's gonna look tight... but a couple of people have done this mod already, nevertheless it still looks pretty good, just takes away from the total brightness since the diffuser helped spread the light...

Dont rain on my parade.. hahaha

The right side tail light didnt come out as good as the left.. it was hit on the right where the red parking light is and has those little stress lines in it, and those come alot more evident once the diffuser is out. Ill have to get another tail so its crystal
