NB aftermarket tailights

[Hyper]

Accidentally found these NB tail lights. I don't know the brand name or where they from. What do you think of them?

[mini_fd]

What are they?

[Hyper]

I think they are ebay LED tail lights

[snake520]

[Pfunk]

Yeah, I'd have to go with 'hideous'.

[atlnb]

no such thing as a good looking aftermarket NB tail light, except for the GV when executed properly.

A certain fella had those LED taillights on his NB.


Yet those Morette taillights have a soft spot for me.

Aight...I think you're callin' me out. Yes, I had those exact lights in the op but personally, I liked them because they include the European red, rear fog light which you can wire up separately.

Actually, there are two versions, one for Europe and one for the UK. I say this from experience... if you get those, you'll have cruise control problems until you install a pair of resistors.

Because I didn't use cruise control all the time, it took me a while to connect my new tail lights with cruise control problems. I even bought a new CC module to no avail. After a week of troubleshooting everything, I finally came to the realization that LED tails will confuse an NB's CC system but a pair of resistors from Autozone will fix it.

[SM16RMSM]

I'm not calling you out, just mentioning that I KNEW someone who had those. It could be you yet it might be someone else. Who knows? :mrgreen:

[mini_fd]

I'm trying to score on the morette lights.

[pnoy1duh]

Surprised these haven't been mentioned...I like these but soooo pricey. I think Carbonmiata is trying to make a set similar to these.

They're actually Brightning, but I love how they look with the Jetstream aero.

[fwdtamiya]

I think they're ugly.

[Agent☣Orange]

What do you think about these?

They're okay but what happens is that individual bulbs will start burning out.

Oh and your cruise control will conk out and you'll have hyperflash until you install resistors.

[Phatmiata]

It would probably look better without all the chrome, if you are in traffic and hit your brakes in the afternoon sun will the guy behind you even see the brake lights, if you could smoke the lens, or spray them in a transparent red it might look better. But yeah as is they look .... meh ...

[Warhammer]

Yeah, I've looked for aftermarket options for tails, too, and the only options that look good are prohibitively expensive. Oh well, plenty of other work to do on the car before I worry about tail lights.

There R No options, NBs are doomed with regard to aftermarket tail lights.

Car Shop Glow and Mayday Garage are in the process of making some tail lights for the NB. If they look good ..... I'll probably the first one to show them off.

[Hyper]

is best to spend the money on a flat trunk and call it a day. I will love to do that one day to my ride

So right, i have seen this in a lot of Mercedes and BMW's, then you have to replace the whole unit.
No good
My taillight use standard bulbs, so no trouble replacing the bulbs

[Hyper]

Quick Question. can you even find Morette lights anymore?? As far as I know no US vendor sells them

[Phatmiata]

Yes you can still order them brand new, I am pretty sure Bill at MIataRoadster can get them for you. Probably a made to order item now though.

Official US Distributor - http://maydaygarage.com/shop/

They are also making custom tail lights for the NA guys with the GV tail panels.

Still a few months in the making though.

[Phatmiata]

mayday mayday, your link is broken !!!

[Martin]

The links work for me

[pacman 99]

Yeah if you get the constant loading animated dots ....stop the loading on the page and hit refresh on your browser. Sometimes that works.

FYI Car Shop Glow products aren't cheap, lol.

[Nyaa]

Are there any picture of the Glow lights? Or are they not at a stage where they have a mock-up yet?

[pacman 99]

No nothing yet to show for.

They have a list of tail lights that they plan on making. The NA/NB was mentioned quite often so it has somewhat made it on the list...with a "high possibility".

NA for GV tail guys are going to be made for sure.

[marathonboats]

They have a list of tail lights that they plan on making....can you share it here bro

Sir are you referring to the Morette's? I just purchase a set and I wanna make sure I deal with the resistor issue accordingly. Thanks

I'm pretty sure he was referring to the tail lights in the very first post of the thread. You won't need any resistors in the Morette's, assuming that you're using standard bulbs.
