d2 taillights in a d1!

[amschnellsten]

well I did half of the disco 2 tail lights. sorry the pictures are dark I will take more tomorrow and I will be finished by then.

 

[FIVESPDDISCO]

Nice job
they will look like this when your done atriot:

 

[amschnellsten]

nice

 

[amschnellsten]

I did the fronts, side lights, dash, and front flairs. door panels are next and then seats. So I will have everything that is nicer from the d2 but not the d2

Come on, the lights you really need to put in from a D2 are the ABS, HDC, and TC. Grrr.

They look cool. I guess my question is "why?" Is there an advantage to the location?

I have not seen many busted D1 or D2 tail lights.

 

[bmn1965]

Looks pretty cool!!

No advantage, just looks.

 

[rcshauger]

Cool. Did you have to replace the metal with a direct swap, or did you fab the panel?

 

[BlackAndTan]

Sweet. Where would I find instructions and cost estimates to do this or have this done?

 

[FIVESPDDISCO]

I changed mine to keep the water. Out of the lights

that is a good point.

 

[amschnellsten]

fivespdisco, how did you do the box beam? Or better did you cut a lot out of it and has it had any negative affects?

 

[RoverDisco98]

I kind of like the staggered effect between the left and right sides. ;-}

 

[mgreenspan]

Yeah. Leave one high and one low. It looks funny and would be trippy during off camber pictures.

 

[oneup]

it only took us about 1hr to do one side. it should take less on the other side since we know what and where to cut on the other side. we got deal on panel and tail lights at junk yard. 2 sets of panels for $150 with tail lights in it. I'm doing mine this weekend. he better not bail out when I do mine.

Cut a lot out with no negative affects

 

[crown14]

that is a good point.

Except that D2 taillamps are much more prone to water intrusion. :disco:

I notice I have lost the upper turn signal. did you put a resistor in to slow the signals? I am going to do this or cut the board and jump a wire to make one of the parking lights a turn.

That's a cool update for the D1.
