Nice, They look good. I thought I read somewhere though it was a pain to add the l.e.d's?? Was it difficult? Any particular issues?

They are identical. Just a different internal for the most part.

i was wondering when someone was finally going to do this to their esprit.

Speaking of LED tails, at LOG we found that Sanj Vatuk had converted his Toyota-style (88 - 2001) tailights into a wild LED lightshow.

Huskerbill · 10-08-2008, 08:15 PM

Claudius is offering them as part of their tailight upgrade for the same price as the standard bulbs. I just chose to stick with the stock look upgrade.

I think these look good though too.

socal450 · 10-08-2008, 08:46 PM

Yes that is correct,I live in walking distance from Claudius shop! Jason and his dad are great mechanics and even better people! Detlef is now doing some interior work for me.Its strange living so close,they are there when I need them,but they are also taking all of my $$$$$$$

While I am still partial to my Toyota tails, it does looks good.

Hey!! Looks like you found the center caps. Sweet. Yours and my communication dissappeared like a ghost in the night... Ha!!

Looks like it worked out for everyone involved. Hope all is well.

Do what,make them look nicer?Everyone ive come across loves it!From Esprit owners to the general public.The final run ESPRIT had the round lights,so it is a Esprit upgrade,when people start making non-Esprit changes,thats when theres a problem. The pics dont do it justice IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING IN PERSON-WIDER AND LOWER!!! Oh well,cant please everyone.We all know what opinions are like---yea you got it, everyones got one! Thanks for the comment,I do value everyones opinion

E5PR1T · 10-11-2008, 11:53 PM

+10. I understand mechanical upgrades but this kinda stuff ruins it for me. The 90SE was a great looking car as-is. Why paint a mustache on the Mona Lisa? If you wanted round taillights you should've bought a Final Edition... not to mention, by the time you get done spending money on these kind of mods you could've just bought what you wanted in the first place.

On the flip side, it's your car and if doing that kind of stuff to it makes you happy

I call it making the car my own,and it not being just like Joes around the corner! CUSTOMIZING cars is a big part of the car culture!
