Black chrome taillights on a AUII fairmont ghia?

lewstung · 03-06-2005, 10:23 AM

Hi, i'm new to the forum, just looking for a little help with a couple of issues. I'm wondering if these taillights would fit on an AUII fairmont ghia, and would they even be worthy?

lewstung · 03-06-2005, 10:24 AM

sorry here is the link to the taillights on ebay, they seem pretty cheap so I thought I'd give em a go..

I got those on my au they are ok. But there are other better au styles out there.

Remember there are 3 styles each with a black/chrome varient.

Also the tail lights are cheaper (the ones on ebay) on aufalcon.com

What colour is the car that they're going onto ?

I have ones similar. Shadow Chrome. The ones from the Cut Snake guys on AU Falcon site. They look good.

There's others which aren't chrome on FPVWPN or FTRWPN or something's car. They look alright too. Still, it depends on the colour of the car as well.

loxxr6 do you have a pic of yours on ?

lewstung · 03-06-2005, 02:33 PM

the colour is meteorite (greyish), so I'm thinkin maybe the lighter colour would be better? It's a fairmont ghia AUII 75th anniversary... Are these things hard to put on btw?

I still haven't gotten round to taking a pic from a camera. In another thread here there's a camera phone pic of them. I need to wash the car so I might just do that Sunday and take some snaps then (I don't have a digital camera either....).

2 screws to undo and a lot of jiggling to get the damn things out. Thats it.

I have the same colour, if I was to put them on the Dark ones are the go for me...I really think it would look pretty good but I'm too scared too.
I hope you get them so I can see what they look like lol..

lewstung · 06-06-2005, 09:02 AM

Yea I think I will get the dark ones, if you like I'll show you how it looks....While we're on lights, can you get like white chrome indicator lights? The orange ones on it look ugly as hell...

**FTE217** · 06-06-2005, 10:46 AM

yep you can get the clear ones, look heaps better than the orange ones.
Need to buy the orange globe for this also.

lewstung, have you already bid for the ones on eBay? If not, they're cheaper than than on aufalcon.com. Post up some photos of them when you do get 'em, the black chrome should look good on Meteorite.

Meteorite is metallica grey isn't it? I'm holding out to see a pic of the black chromes ones on an AU metallic grey falcon before I drop them on mine, my guess is that it will look good though.

lewstung · 06-06-2005, 11:34 AM

yea meteorite is the greyish one. I'll put up a pic for you to peepwhen I've got the headlights/taillights/indicators done...heres hoping it looks nice

lewstung · 06-06-2005, 11:36 AM

From Ford. It's roughly $22 per side, $17 for indicators, $3/4 for the orange globes. Something along those lines anyway

They are the shadow chrome ones but they looked heaps lighter in the pics for some reason.

Duffman · 15-06-2005, 10:34 AM

This is what mine looked like in shadow chrome.

**FTE217** · 15-06-2005, 10:50 AM

man is that in your face, can anyone get this pic smaller it's blocking my veiw ! lol....

15-06-2005, 02:25 PM

I wanna see the style blinkau has, on a meteorite coloured falcon

loxxr6, I think the black chrome ones (that blinkau has) would look awesome on your black...the bright clear looks a bit tacty.

There's definately a tint to mine but it's not as strong as the blinkau's ones. Blinkau's ones def look good.

I think mine are an improvement over the standard series one au ones plus with the LED in place of the normal bulbs, they look sweet.
