The SLC headlight and/or tail light swap potential thread

Martin Thoene · Oct 30, 2013

The Street-rod market produces some nice tailights.
These are pretty high-tech looking.

here's something different

futureGTMdaddy · Dec 4, 2013

Interesting, that's either combination tail lights/subwoofers, or afterburners. rockonsmile

Now if we could make the rear end look like this. OMG

Simple, clean LED

Whoa!!!!! My jaw is still on the floor from the previous quote..

"I use that term loosely because we all know that there's very little that's negative about the SLC...."

Troymx576 · Jan 20, 2015

Now that would be something.

The eyebrows look good and would be easy to do.

2010-2012 Nissan Altima Headlights? (Fling's build: http://www.gt40s.com/forum/slc-clubhouse/39723-fling-slc-build-thread-12.html#post463241)

Yes Kyle. 2010-2012 Altima. Recontouring of fenders required.

I like it, but don't get me wrong here... Something about the outer line doesn't seem to quite match the wheel arch.

It's a great head light and looks awesome, I think that contour line would bug me to no end.

Must say I'm biased towards my LED tail lights.

 Manufacturer of my rear tail lights: HOME » WHITEVISION

Rear indicator would appear to be this one:
ZZ55DI 55mm Direction Indicator » WHITEVISION

Rear reverse light would appear to be this one:
ZZ55R 55mm Reverse LED » WHITEVISION

Rear Brake lights would appear to be 2 of these:

ZZ95SRP 95mm Stop / Rear Position LED » WHITEVISION

cheers

These are easily the best looking rear lights for the SLC that I have seen. They work beautifully with the strengths of the overall SLC design, highlighting the very low, powerful, wide stance aspect of the SLC, plus being large enough to be easily seen from a distance.

Here, on the 2015 Corvette Daytona Prototype race car
& the 2015 stock Corvette:

Troymx576 · Jan 25, 2015

I was checking out the C7 Z06 race car they had at PRI. The interesting part of the Corvette lights are the portions on the outside that extend down are not part of the lights. Could be something to consider. Anyone want to do a photoshop of them, I do not have it.

Garry Buzzelli · Jan 26, 2015

Here are mine, Lambert light, he will make any style you want, not cheap, but good not cheap, cheap is not good.

The C7 tails are nice and it would appear that they would be relatively easy to modify. I also took a look at some of the Audi Q series swapped left to right. I like the looks but the curvature would most likely pose a problem. Even some of the Cadillac tails flipped 90 degrees have some possibility.

guitaraholic · Jan 26, 2015

A little off, yet on topic, there is a guy on the "other" kit car forum that is putting Celica (7th gen) headlights on his car.

Not so for off, because IIRC, the new GTA will use Celica GTS headlights. so you "kinda" have an idea how it will look on the SLC, because the hood had the same signature "SLC" look to it.

Troymx576 · Jan 27, 2015

The Celica lights have been put on MR2's for years, but I am not sure if the shape and how they protrude up would be a good option, but maybe. The nissan lights there look really good, are cheap, can have bixenon option and fit. I plan on using them myself when I get to that point and a good possibility of the corvette lights. They are realistically cheap on ebay now as guys want to upgrade to the 2015 z06 ones, which I think look better, but cost more.

mcfling · Jan 27, 2015

FYI- I had a pair of Corvette lights- they would be my 1st choice except... The problem is that they have an outside angle that doesn't match the squareness of the body.

I have tried to find a way to order the taillights that Stu has on his car referenced above. I can't find a way in the U.S. to order them? Anyone have any ideas?

StuM5 · Jan 27, 2015

Mike
I'm happy to contact the Aust company that supplied my lights and see what needs to be done for you to order. Let me knkow.
If you look at this footage at 2:40 to 2:47min you will see what my lights look like a night. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQaGAvSGlQw
