Question RX7Store upgraded turn lamps

who's running them, are you happy with the quality? i know that the Store normally carries good quality stuff, but some feedback is always appreciated.

does anyone have pictures of them on a black 7. i was thinking of going with the black w/ clear lense for my FD.

thanks

So far I'm very happy with the quality. They are very nice pieces. Even came with new bulbs. I get nothing but compliments about them every where I go. Give them a try you wont be dissapointed, they look so much better then the stock ones.

Just IMHO,
Mitch

Garfinkle has silver with clear on his silver car . They look like a much newer style . They look much better than the stock ones with the orange reflectors removed .

Me too, back to the days of the big list. We need a Best-Of-LaBreck website or something.

Personally I like the orange in mine; it still leaves it with an OEM look. I can just imagine what a clear with nothing but silver background looks like, reminds me of the nice altezza lights everyone puts on their civic. IMHO

so who would be interested in an LED conversion of these new lights? I have already done the stock ones: http://www.lighter.net/products/rx7signals/ Im tempted to buy a set just to see what I can do with them since they look kinda neat.

Seriously man, get off her back about the the Garfinkle thing. We've discussed this. Jason doesn't like garfinkle promoting his stuff on the forum, and for good reason. duboisr is a loyal customer of garfinkles who recommends his work and ideas to others who don't know about him. Why is that such a big deal to you?

And Mitch, your car is sweet looking. Making me rethink my '99 spec plans. That way is a whole lot cheaper, and looks damn sexy.

911GT2. While that is true, you would be losing the increase in airflow you get with '99 spec.

Thanks!

I have considered the '99 spec look but... after the new turn signals, shark mouth and the lip I really like this front.

Mitch

Oh yeah they are the smoked version.

LED conversion? You can buy LED bulbs that plug into the stock adapters for almost dirt cheap now.


Go here for all you light bulb needs...

Does anyone have pictures of the clear lens with polished housing option installed? I think I have looked through all of the relevant threads and I don't recall seeing one. All I have seen have been the clear and smoked lens with black housing.

What?? Your kit for $150 ?? I'll pass.


The bulbs seem good enough for me. It's only a light, how much engineering needs to be put into that? 2 for 10 bucks, count me in.
