Title: custom tail lights...anyone seen en
Post by: shanebo on January 14, 2011, 01:29:36 AM: I was surfin the web and i came acoss a pic of an amc concord that had custom smoky clear tail lights. They look very very sharp, it was on CAR DOMAIN and under the name AMCYA. I have never seen these custom tail lights..I was just wondering if anyone here has ever seen them on any other eagles or concords. If anyone knows where i could get some .... please let me know. Those would totally hot on a jet black wagon!!!...

thanks,
shanebo

Post by: thereverendbill on January 14, 2011, 06:48:49 PM: i have heard of putting stock taillamps in the oven at low heat to remove the stock red lens and then heating the clear material and conforming it to the shape of the taillamp housing. i have never tried it or seen any results of it, but i might just have to one of these days with a scrap pair laying around the ECS

Post by: shanebo on February 17, 2011, 08:48:21 PM: Ya know the more I look at those tail lights the more fake they look. I could be wrong but it just looks computer generated to me...They are kinda like big foot...I have a picture of them but no one here has ever seen or heard of such a thing.

Post by: amc78concord on February 17, 2011, 08:52:07 PM: I've seen this car in person at the 2007 Kenosha AMC meet...but don't remember looking at the rear of the vehicle.

Very nice car though might I add...

I was thinking the same thing. It looks like he merged a black and white photo of the tail lights into that photo but it's harder to do that an an angle like he did.
