Hey guys, i noticed this picture in the rusty relics section which was put on by Tally, the

lights really appealed to me,it was of a ke25 coupe and i seen these tail lights and i personaly

think theyre the best tail lights ive ever seen on a ke25, they almost look like rotary tail

lights out of a Mazda Capella.

 

My question is this, can someone please tell me what they know about them?

Id love to know what model they came out in and what country cause I'm pretty

sure they wernt released on any Australian models, but i could be wrong... :)

Those are the '73 TE27 Sprinter Trueno tail lights. Only Japan had them.

Thanks dude, i want them quite badly.

There was a set on ebay about a couple of months ago that went for $760.

They're worth quite a bit.

I've been trying to find a set myself for years.

Id be willing to pay $800 for sure, probley wouldnt go much more then that though...

They are the best lights for a 25 ever.

Yeah they are the best tail lights for TE27s or KE25s.

 

The '72 Sprinter Trueno tail lights are not so bad either

personally I l like Levin/standard late model KE25 lights...

 

BUT Toyota did make a few combination for the rear end besides the ones you mentioned :) those ones will be hard to get haha, early sprinter ones...

Definitely the nicest ke25/te27 tailights made. Cheap takeoff of the Mazda RX3 savana styling.

Agreed, i want them soooooo badly, i will not rest until they are on my car.

$800 for tail lights? Are you people serious? :)

Go price a set of genuine NOS RX3 savanna "T-cups". :)

Re-pro ones go for upwards of $2k.

Some people obviously have no idea of the cost of things. Then again i think some people pay way too much for things too.

 

I have 2 sets of new lenses for a KE10 which i payed decent money for. On the odd occasion i get a pm saying " i'll give you $50 or $100 for a spare set of your lenses". I politely tell them i don't really want to sell but it would take a lot more than that for me to let them go.

Hows $800 expensive when thats what theyre worth to everyone?

 

What you have to understand is, these tail lights hold theyre value, and they will be worth more then that as soon as they hit

Australian shores. To be honest, $800 is pretty cheap for Trueno lights. In 10 years from now, when theyre simply ungetable,

who knows how much theyll be worth? Ive done up so many cars the wrong way over the years and ive learned that you don't

get any satisfaction from going second best. Bring on the tail lights!!!

Not quite. Square or round tail lights were very common styling for JDM cars. Take a look at Datsun's KPGC10 & PGC10 GTRs & Mitsubishi's 1970 GTO MR.
