I'd be interested to hear how much these will cost. Are you thinking that people would send in their stock lights as part of the exchange?

They look good!

Following with interest. My rears have probably got another year or so in them before I need to do something. Replacing them with new ones which are already pink just doesn't seem right. Add me to a list of potentials if you are making one. Nice work!

I plan on offering options where I provide the set, either new or used, and an option where you send in your set. Pricing will depend highly on the cost of a used or new set of lights, but to give you a rough idea, the strips alone for a double line across the total width run about $550 and then there's the wiring harness and of course installation. So without the lights themselves figure $800-ish shipped.

I'll let you know once I have something definitive to offer!

Oh yeah when they told me it was 9eleven I found it odd b/c he mentioned he wasn't going that route and decided with the lights he debuted. Eh, either way I just thought I would share

the only upgrade I could consider is the 9eleven Bloomers which are sober...the others being too much modern and anachronistic for me.

Still trying to make something like this work. Limiting factor right now i that the size of the logo exceeds the maximum dimensions of what I can cut on my Cricut machine...

I'm researching light options for a project as well. It looks like the company originally mentioned in this thread, www.OllisCustomParts.com, has started updating their website and adding products. It says they can do custom center lens lettering too. If anyone is looking around 964 light options:

That 964 tail looks amazing.

Yeah they look the business. Not too modern, but enough to bring it up to date. Lovely. On the wish list.

OP, let me know if you want me to delete those pictures. The pictures posted above are not the ones being built by the OP. These are lights by Ollis.

Default Pink to Red

I came up with a solution to the pink (faded pink) tail lights years ago. The use of a transparent rich red vinyl film to cover the tail lights and center sections. I have sold and ship the vinyl kits all over the world. I have had the vinyl film on my tail lights for over 10 years and it still looks great. So there is a viable solution to cure the pink look.
