Question Clear or smoked lights

Does anyone have any pics of clear/smoked parking lights installed on a RED 3rd gen? I keep seeing pics of them on blacks, and they look pretty good. I was considering getting them for my red FD, but wasn't sure how they looked. I was looking for parking lights for the rear bumpers, rear left/right bumpers, and front parking lights, left and right too... BTW, my FD has stock front and rear bumpers... so please don't post pics of 99 spec lights and others... Thanks in advance!

I have a stock front and rear bumper 3rd gen 1993, and was looking for pictures of clear or smoked parking/turn lights (front AND rear) on a red 3rd gen as well, so I can compare and see whether it looks good or not. I've seen them on black FD's (someone else posted some), but was just wondering if someone had them on red FD's or knew of a picture...

Hey mitch, since those are recent pics of your car, have you gotten your white headlight cover painted yet? If so, could you post pics of the whole front, i'd love to see what it looks like with the lights.

And is that the older RE Amemiya Rear diffuser? If so, it looks great.

Yes it is the Old style. And sorry to say... no i haven't got it painted yet :/ its on my agenda though money has been so tight moving into the new apartment and starting at my new job. But good news is money is starting to flow again so mods should start rolling along again!! I will be sure to post pics when i get it painted though

Thanks for the pics guys... yes, that is what I'm looking for. Mitch... so do you like those front lights with the dark back? I think it's starting to grow on me... Where and how much did you get those? How about the rears, same question?

Although, there is still a couple that I am looking for... if you look at those pics, you see those amber colored lenses that are on the front bumper's left and right side??? THOSE are the ones I was looking for in either clear or smoked... as well as the red colored lenses BELOW the tailights, as well as on the left and right of the rear bumper. I saw a black FD in this forum once with clears on all those I mentioned above... if anyone has any pics on those, that would be phenomenal...

thanks all...

here's a pic of what I'm talking about

hey guys... here is a pic of what I am talking about... I found it in another thread. Now see that clear light lens on the rear bumper? That's what I was looking for... in a red FD... just to see what they look like. What are they called anyway? Maybe it's my bad for not knowing what they're called... parking lights??? rear turns?

If anyone has pics of those on a red FD, that would be great... also the ones on the front, same location... I've seen those clear too.

ROTORhead93 - I got the Diffuser from RotaryExtreme in a group buy for $350

RX 4 Speed - I love the black/smoked signals, they look 10x better than the stock. I get compliments on them everywhere. As for the tailights that is the 99' style DYI.

IMHO the reflectors you are talking about for the rear.... I think the clear would look horrible on red (I also think they look gross on the black). The stock look great, but thats just IMO.

Honestly, i dont like those too much. I prefer the stock lights better. The clear stands out way too much on the red. Black is a little bit better, but still, stock would look much better.

RX7INSAC... that is EXACTLY what I'm looking for! Thanks man! So what do you all think? No go, huh? I think you're right... it looks good on black, but I don't know about red... I think I still like it though, but maybe not worth the $. Just curious, where would you get those and how $?

Mitch... you're right... those smoked front ones are pretty hot... Could you please direct me as far as where to get them? I'm guessing prolly in the $200 for price??? how about the tails?

Well, if you decide to go with the turn signals you can get them from Jason at Rx7Store.net or here http://www.rx7store.net/index.asp?Pa...ROD&ProdID=804 They are 150.00 and i have the black/smoked ones (look the best on red)

and for the dyi on the tail lights go here http://www.jsott.com/rx-7/lights/index.html
(and if you are worried about doing this yourself dont be its so easy, PM me if you need any help)
