Hey all, I soon will be starting my van project, I just want to see if anyone has any pictures of mini vans with custom tail lights? I remember (Gordo) was up to something many moons ago, what can you all show :)

Cheers

The Bini clubman has pretty small tail lights, might be able to graft some of them in?

I've had four different styles on the back of my van...
I'll dig through some pictures and post some up

In order of when they went in...
The LED strips did look good but I never saw them in with the car painted and complete, and is a whole massive step to make that decision and not be happy with it. There was a mini ute that was getting around that had the same LED lights in the back and it looked pretty good. The other stand upish ones were out of a rear bar in a Pajero I think it was, they normally sit horizontal. I think they would look a lot better if the car was complete, they look out of place when its still in raw form

Just remember that every car must have rear reflectors to be legal according to ADR or insurance will wipe you off if in a rear ender and have none.

Thanks for the replies so far guys! I was thinking something along the lines of those round ones Gordo just not sure yet.

The car will be engineered with a engine conversion so everything will be hunky dory!

Cheers :)

The only thing with having them frenched like mine is you need to be able to see them from the side. So spacing them out...
