I voted for clear, even though I've got 'em nite-shaded on my car. I think that the nite-shade looks good, but, on a black car the clear looks real nice.

I'm a big fan of blackouts and nite shade, but I think clear side signals look best on black cars.

72BuickGSX,

Thanks, no 17x11. Wish they were, but with the 17x9s and the already off backspacing, was scared to try 17x11 because I didn't want it to stick very far out of the wheel well.

I checked mine again... and nope they still don't blink. The guy who owned the car before me didn't know jack about electrical systems. I remember him saying he changed a fuse, when he noticed the break light not coming on! And after I bought it, the interior lights wouldn't work, the ebrake light stayed on even when stick was down, yadda yadda, luckily my bro works for chevy, took the console apart and fixed up all the wires, he had to cut and check each wire behind the 'ometers! And my hood light doesn't work, wrong bulb, I had to get new interior light, and new trunk light, so it seems about correct that my sidemarkers dont blink.
BTW like IROC5.7L and I have been askin, where ya get the markers from?

If I remember right, the clears come factory on new civics or accords so you have to get them from one or the other, I don't remember which......

Three ways to do them.

1.) Goto Ebay, type in "82-92 clear", purchase

2.) Goto to ebay, buy some clear side marker lights for a prelude, take your original ones, cut the amber part off, take the prelude clears, cut them to fit where the original amber was, glue together and place back into the body. (old way before the ones on ebay came around)

3.) Goto ebay, get the prelude clears. Tell the body shop you want these to fit and do what they need to do. (my way)
