I don't think anybody here has. But I would assume you remove the parking lights, put in the new ones, stick in the bulbs and connect everything back up.

Actually, there's a couple guys who cleared the parking lights on their 'birds, but if I were you I'd leave the body-colored bulbs alone. Especially on this board. Some people are less understanding.

 

Yeah I know what you mean...that would be a rice then right....I just want something a little different..I think it would look good!

I have the orginal amber parking light/turnsignals on my 86 TA. I've experimented with two different brands of red bulbs, and one of them actually looked good. Gave the car a "Demonic" look to it when the parking lamps were on only. 2 days after i installed them, i got pulled over for them. Here in PA. In NJ, i didnt. Strange. But they did look bad @$$.

where you plan on getting these clear lights? I haven't seen any made for camaros or birds. One easy little thing i did to my car was to put blue xenon bulbs in my license plate lights. It looks subtle, but good.

I have a stupid question. Isn't it illegal there to put differnet color bulbs in your park lights? Especially red!! They would put me in jail if I did that here hahahah.

I haven't done it personally, but I've heard that a lot of people will just go up on Ebay and buy clear parking lights for civics and then shave them to fit. I'm not sure if there is any drilling of the lens to get them to fit or not though. Check out Steve Cauffiel's site, he seems to be doing anything different to his bird (and it is really starting to look good) He apparently used Prelude lights.

Good luck,

Hey thanks Mike! As long as you aren't afraid of cutting on your car, there ain't much you can't do...
