Anyone know how a supra tail light conversion would be done?

Sang did it (dont know what year he has) but it looks like he did a lot of body work to get it done.. Check the thread november nominations on the third page he has a picture of it. Check it out.

How DARE you insult the Skyline like that!!! That is NOWHERE near being supra [:@] Those taillights are from a R-33 Nissan SKYLINE damnit!! just the TAILLIGHTS run in excess of $500 Gggrrrr.... LOL But in all seriousness this guy sounds like he's planning a full replacement of the rear end for his car not just taillights. Taillights are fairly easy it's some body work but can feasibly be done. You'll have to cut the holes that your stock taillights sit in to fit the new ones and mess with the mounting holes as well (Drilling new ones and doing work with nuts as a place setter and whatnot to get them to set right) after that it's a matter of bondo/tigers' hair to match up the body to the lights. Now the hard part is going to be fitting the rear bumper to the car. My rear bumper IS from an Eclipse body kit and if you look at the pics it IS still being molded into the body so there will be no lines. I'm fairly sure the supra doesn't have A.) the same lines as B.) possibly not the same width as, and C.) not the same length as the Eclipse. It's not easy and will require cutting and work to get it to fit and look right (I'm also in the middle of a Sentra/Mustang project as well mounting Mustand body kit on Sentra).

Sorry sang didnt mean you used supra lights i just ment you put different lights on your car and you are doing it the hard way. The right way if you ask me. Just thought he should see another way of doing something.
