Which turnlamps for silver FD?

The factory turn lamps on my silver FD are getting beat up. After all the search I decided that I don't like the smoked ones on my color, I have these two in mind, leaning toward the non-euro one. Any others I should consider?

And can I just replace the amber bulb in the euro one to make it all clear? How would that look?

So which ones are the JDM white/silver? The one I listed? If not, where can I get them?

The euro's look tacky as hell and dont fit the car. I even saw a kid running around the city the other day with euro tail lights on his FD. I wanted to punch him. The smoked ones dont look good on silver. The ones in the first link you posted would look best I think.

eBay is littered with them. You could try there and see if you like any.

Here are a few pics of the rx7 store lights on my car (the ones your looking at getting). I look at a few that were on ebay, but didn't know many people that went with ebay. I didn't mind spending the money cause were talking about mybaby. I put some PIAA hyperwhites for the turns and driving lights. The reflection during the daytime draws your eyes cause it almost looks like there slightly lite. I think there the right buy

Use something like this:

On stock ones and they will look great.

Yes we have a similar product at my job, and it works. However my lamps are cracked also and allow moisture in. I tried clear silicone, but it doesn't look good and I want new ones. (saving up)

I tried to order these from RX7.COM:



But they only stock these now:



I beleive those are more like the euro style ones that wouldn't look good. So now I still don't know what to get. Who sells nice looking (clear) turnlamps ???

Thanks. Unfortunately the driver's side one is broken
I wonder if I replace it (with a stock one) and polish the other, would they match?
