Gunslinger Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 The backup lights on my '02 say Nissan on them with a part number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plwindish Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Was your 02 from the Nippon factory?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 The front side marker lights say Ford on them...from a mid-'90s Taurus. I read in an interview with Jim Bunting who fabricated the AVX cars the '02 Avanti was based on, that the headlight buckets were from a Jaguar. I guess between Jaguar, Ford and Nissan the Avanti is a truly international automobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Boyle Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) For limited production cars, lights wee always a problem issue. In the pre-LED days, the tooling costs for the bucket and lens were a huge hurdle. There is an 80s Aston Martin...the Virage, IIRC, that uses the taillight assembly from an 82-on VW Scirocco. And there are plenty of other cases...like the Ford GT 40s (the 60s race cars, not the 2005 production Ford GTs) using early Corvair taillights. Or the Shelby Mustangs using T-Bird units.
