I must admit that the clear does have a definite improvement, but how do they look at night? Anyone have night pictures?

I like clear side markers on Camaros, but I don't have a problem with the orange ones either so I'm keeping mine. It sure does look good on the silver Camaro though.

$40? I paid 19.95 +$7 shipping on ebay. You gotta check ebay for the clear side blinkers, and heres a picture of them with the amber bulbs installed with them.

You guys are lucky cause up here in Canada eh! we dont get all these little mods in our parts stores. We can order them by mail but by the time we get them we are looking at easily $80 cause our money sucks and with duty and shipping. Im going to Vegas in November so if somebody can let me know what parts stores down there are good Id appreciate it.

procarparts is where i got mine, with shipping it came out to 40 even took me 7 days, but i ordered on a friday so that was my mistake.

as far as that night pic, what bulb did you use; they don't look right with the stock bulb on my car at night..........look like a side headlight.

the bulb is the 194NA, the regular 194 bulb is white whereas the 194NA is amber colored. I only changed it because the local law enforcement told me to.

yes they are, you just release the clips and pull it out and put in the new ones, they only take about 5 min. to install if that.

Hey Bub, those are stock replacements! They are called parking lamps. I would give you my part number from GM but i think you have different ones. You can get them from any dealer with a parts center, like Pine Belt on RT. 88 in Lakewood, or you could get them from Next Generation or Classic Industries. Probally Ebay too. I paid around $30 each for mine when i had my car re-painted.

cridom, no......i wish i knew how to chrome plate. my car would be solid chrome.

well B4Ctom1, if you want a single plate aftermarket 91-92 rim you can go through just about any major tire company on the internet or in your state.

i know around here you can trade your wheels plus about 700 for a single plate version.

i paid around 2500 for tripple plating the stock oem rims and also the many hours to polish so the chrome looks its best.

to bad you didn't live close to myself, i'd get rid of mine for about 7-800 for a trade of stock ones if they were in good shape.


CustomX.........here you go!!

That black drop top is BADASS! Not to mention James C and Custom X's too! Sweet cars guys. Bub, if i'm not mistaken, i believe the Z28/IROC lamps are different than yours. Call up Pine Belt in Lakewood, do you know where that is? It's on rt.88 in Lakewood, right near New Hampshire, thats the cross street. Here is the tele #732-363-4600, they should be open til 1, if not then they close in like 15min. They could tell you if there is a difference and also give you a price too!
