Re: Clear Bumper Lights + Side Marker Lights

A set of the stockers that I tinted (clear w/black plastic model paint) along with the side markers. The side markers were clear to begin with. To me, they look great on a dark car.

Re: Clear Bumper Lights + Side Marker Lights

I also have a set of those clear ones I did with Nightshade. Not on the car, but you get the idea. I had to heat the can up in hot water, otherwise the finish would spiderweb.

Re: Clear Bumper Lights + Side Marker Lights

I was also looking at getting a set of those clear markers.
Has anyone had a problem with them hazing over and getting moisture build up like the stock ones do?

I had mine on since June and the car has seen a lot of rain plus I live about 20ft. from the water; I have not had any problems with the lights.

Re: Clear Bumper Lights + Side Marker Lights

average $30-40 for the sides and roughly 20-25 a corner for the fronts to give you the right price range. you can find new gm versions for around $65 a pair, look much nicer but more expensive.

The were just plug and play. It was a little bit difficult placing the frames around the lights but when all was said it done it looked good.

I got them on ebay. Make sure you get the ones that provide the wire adapter for the H4 bulbs.

Yes, they still emit amber lighting, just when off they stay chrome, so you dont get that amber color in your lenses until they are turned on.

The picture off of the car didn't look so hot, but when I saw them on goomaan's car they looked a lot better than I had thought they would! I might want to grab a set of these some day. My stock bumper lights are all fogged up.

Where did you get your chrome bulbs? I have checked Autozone & O'reillys, and they don't carry them.
