i am thinking about doing something similar to mine and what i want to know is who thinks it would be better to just use nightshade and take like 30 min or actaully shave the lights out and go that route

I bought mine on ebay for $30 +s/h ... cheapest I could find. If your interested I can probably still pull up the guys user account and pm it to you. He usually has one or two sets for sale at all times.
sorry. i think clear sidelights look r!ce. they remind me of clear taillights. I'd just pick up some window tint, cut out a piece, and put it over the blinker. I think it would look better, just like how blackouts look better than clear taillights.
edit: make sure you sand and buff out the numbers on the blinkers.

true some do look like r!ce, but the ones i have have the relector built into them, so they are "clear", but you cant really se the bulb.

As for the absurd comments that it looks Japanese....that's just amusing. In reality, the vast majority of modifications we do to our domestic cars are the exact same things the foriegn car fans do. The only real difference is where the cars are manufactured, the rest is just blinders we put up for our American patriotism.

im suprised no on ehas mentioned VHT yet. Go get yourself some "VHT nightshades" from the store. Its like spraypaint, but its tint. Works well and will conform to anything so you wouldnt have to worry about sanding your lenses or anything.

black tints wins hands down, looks good on a black car, if i go back in time before my paint job, i would of taken out the lights and covered that hole to make it all clean and smooth, oh well at least i remember to remove the side molding when i painted this time
