I like them on your car, because they match your headlights.


I wonder if they'd look funny on mine though..

Those look pretty good. I was a little worried about those when I first saw them, but I like'm. I don't think that they would look good unless the headlights have been upgrades - like yours. Have your thought about installing LED bulbs in there?

I run 1157 LEDs in mine with no problems, since my side markers are also LED (194), I also had to install load resistors on the front corners.

Super Bright LEDs - Tail Brake/Turn Bulbs

I'm refering to the bulbs in the parking lights, in a few of the pics the bulbs appear blue, and others they appear amber.

They look great! Of course I am just slightly bias when it comes to those. I can't wait to see how they'll look with a car that's not black...

Oops my mistake lol. I'm not too fond of those conversions so that would explain my confusion.

very nice, but I'd have to agree that I don't think it would look as good without upgrading the headlights aswell.. like on my car for example, I think they would look out of place.

black84z28-4spd if you didn't see my post earlier on the clear parking thread, I had the stock bolts for the lights actually back themselves out and it nearly cost me a light. Use coarse thread bolts or a non-permanent type of lock tite.

I also agree a headlight upgrade is an excellent idea.

I think they look kick a$$ with the car being black and then having all the lights in the front looking the same. I love it!

See they match well on both those cars but, without the headlight conversion and the clear fog lights i dont think they would look well on anything else. Im a fan of just NEW parking lights, most new ones look incredible compared to any of these cars aged ones. Even the cars with 50k miles on them the plastic has a yellowish tint to them...
