thanks... i'll pay the 115 for the clear bumper light set, but 65 for clear side markers (2) is a little steep... any cheaper side markers?

But I don't know if they are legit. They never responded back to my email I sent them. Let alone they don't have a phone # on their site.
$20 is cheap though.

It took me 10 minutes and ZERO dollars to make my stock indicator lenses look like that! $115 is a crime...

I posted this a while back:

US cars may be different, but on my Jap model the front indicator lenses were clear with orange plastic inserts glued in behind. I just ripped out the orange inserts with a screwdriver, swapped the bulbs for orange ones (OK so it wasn't totally free) and stood back to admire the $$$ I'd saved!

k, i just sent them an e-mail seeing if we can get a group price or something. The front bumper turn signals are $20, front clear side markers $50, rear clear side markers $50. the total is $120. which still isnt that bad, but i'm wondering why the side markers r so expensive... hopefully i'll get a reply soon

And that right there is probably why people aren't jumping all over them.

remember that the 86-88 and 89-92 are NOT interchangeable.

All these clear light places are CRAZY wanting to sell for those prices...

Homemade

any of those lights just look like ones your can make yourself with some clear silicone,old set of lights or the one sout of the car,and a sheet of the stuff to cover flourescent lights.Ally ou owuld have to do it ge tthe amber cover off,cut the clear stuff,silicone it good so it is watertight and then buy some orange bulbs.If you wanted to save even more money you oculd go to a supply place for electrical and try to find a sheet of the slear covering that is broken,where you only need small pieces of it.

I'd only get the front and front sides in clear. nothing else. If they reply back to you, lets get a group thing going for sure. I'm in.

If you take the lenses out and put them in boiling water it helps to get the orange adhesive stuff to peel off.

Why not make your own?

Why not make your own for way cheaper? I am not against supporting companies but thwne the product looks the same or worse then what I could build myself for way less then Id rather do it myself.Heck if you want get an old set of lights and send them to me and I will make you some that look the same for the front and side markers (you buy the bulbs) I could prolly do them both if you siupplied the lights for $40 american (for 2 fornt and 2 side) and then ship them out to you.Their prise is a lil steep,i will go take mine out right now to see if it can be done easily for that price

Hmm actually after just disassembling my lights i notice they may be harder then they appear on the site.(the ones on the site are nothing like the series 4 lights) They way they look on ther eis nothing close to the stock ones and alot flatter so they would sit in the bumoer alot farther.I am going to make somhting up tomorow to make my fronts clear and sit them out flush with the bumper then I will try to get some pics of them.
