Welcome to my "Projects" page. This all started back in 98' when I just graduated from high school, gotta part time minimum wage job, with lots of time and no money. I got sick and tired of seeing Civics and Accords all day with their clear taillights but they don't make any for the Legends. They have them in Japan, however, but I can't afford $600+ price tag for them. So I decided to hack mine up and made my own. I've made frequent visits to the Home Depot and found some clear 1/4in plexiglass. After hours and hours of cutting, sanding, drilling, polishing, gluing, and painting (about a week).... voila! I'm the only Legend in the US with custom clears, which is the very first 1st set you see here.
After joining the Legend.org forums, it has spark quite a few interest from forum members who were interested in actually purchasing these. So I decided to conduct a small groupbuy. There were only a limited few ever produced (about 10) due to the high cost ($400 a set or $300 with core exhange). A few of them were sold on Ebay and the rest to forum members which some are still rockin' them today. I don't make these anymore simply cause I don't have the time now that I have other priorities + a new toy to play with (S2K).
91-95 Acura Legend Coupe All Clear Tail lights with red difusers.
Now, All my buddies with civics kept complaining that they constantly have to buy red bulbs because they fade so easily. When they fade out, they turn pink when you brake. So.. while I have my taillights appart, and have extra red OEM lense that I've cut out, I had a brilliant idea of cutting that lense into small pieces and then gluing them togehter to make a red diffuser. Now, all I have to do is just insert regular white bulbs and they'll automatically come out brilliant red and will never fade. Eat your heart out APC!
Clear on top with Red bottom style
Lots of requests for these red/clear options.
Experimenting with a different look.
Red top with clear bottom style. (like the Honda Preludes)
With LEDs Installed
In case some of you are wondering, this is not an easy task if you're not too handy with power tools, or have a crafty hand. I've spent almost a week on my first set and then 4-5 days on the ones after that. I've taken woodshop, metal shop, and plastic/acrylic fabrication in high school and had access to a variety of saws and equipment. Which I don't anymore.
