Re: Smoked front Side Markers

Did you spray those, or are those the ready to run "Smoked" replacements?

They look better for sure.

Definitely look good. You might get away with the white bulb if the lenses are still amber under the tint spray, if you sprayed them, otherwise you need to have an amber bulb. Though I haven't had trouble with mine (they're faded to clear on my 89), front side markers are required to project amber.
