Someones selling the real clear/reds for 250 in the 4th gen classifieds. I personally dont like the new models that you linked. They are a bit flashy and there were fitment issues, they might be fixed by now Im not sure. If I were in your situation id stick it out and look for some david l's.

are the 2 links i posted for the same lights. bc k2motor sells their lights for $100 cheaper. i want them to fit nice and have no problems. they are a little flashy i admit, but i saw them in person today on the streets, and theyre not bad. i rather have semi flashy than non matching inner and outside tails. (i PMed the guy selling it on the classifieds.. and the lights have slight color difference)

I have them. They look great, not flashy at all. They look very stock only better because they are brighter and don't have the amber. The fittment is horrible though. For them to look like stock fittment you will have to do a little bit of work but I've had no leakage issues or anything. Get them but not from CE unless you want to wait a few months on delivery while they've already spent your money.

not a fan of those. would go with David-Ls any day over the CE ones. just don't match the look of the car, imo.

this is one on sale in classifieds. he sent me the pic thru PM. i would get them but the colors dont seem to perfectly be in sync. does the david L's all look like this? or is it by the quality (or coats) of the paintjob done?

Seems $249 plus shipping is a steep price, they look good but not for that price.... I would clear them myself if I had the know how, there are ways to do it in the stickies.

Yeah, Ive pondered these but I would open them up and paint the chrome top area black excluding the bulb area. Id leave that area chrome and then Smoke them.

Same as mine. I think they look good, but you should invest in some silver mirrored amber bulbs. Having the orange bulbs behind the clear lens kind of defeats the purpose of having clear signal lenses IMO. My car is Pearl White and you cannot see orange behind my clear corners or red/clear tails. I think it looks better on a white car but I'll admit to being biased.

Yeah I am going to go buy the bulbs this week. The orange do look bad.

so are those 2 links the same lights. are these "flashy" ones all the same?

and is it possible to clear out the amber on the 95-96 the same way 97-99s do their process? (im assuming not)
