Mine FINALLY showed up today. I'm so stoked. I have a few quick questions for you. I could have sworn I remembered reading somewhere that they come with lightbulbs (at least with a red one for the outsides?) but I didn't get any at all. Did you guys receive light bulbs with yours? Thanks.

That's the main question but I have a few more if you happen to know:

Has anyone taken theirs apart yet? Advice?

Is that rubber/foam thing over the bolts on the back instead of that lame black evil goop on the stock lights?

Thanks for the answers.

P.s. I have heard you guys say that they look better in person and I'm thinking 'yeah, yeah'. But you guys aren't kidding!! These things are gorgeous. And they aren't even on the car yet. Can't wait...

O.k., thanks guys.

I'll assume that they weren't supposed to come with bulbs as that now makes three of us that didn't get them. Thanks for the answer. Hey, one last quick quest. that I forgot to ask originally: Do you guys think it would be possible to make that light on the outside act as the reverse light? That way I can paint the top half of the inner circle red. What do you think? Thanks again...

good luck taking the lense off to paint the circle red. I took my lense off to paint the chrome part black, came off easy(no problems at all) I then painted them black to match my car and they looked great. The only problem was I could not get the lense back on all the way. They waould not go all the way down and seal. I tried clamps to hold it down, heating it up, everything I could think of but I just could not get them to stay down. After about 2 days I ended up cracking the lense and had to buy another set. So I would not recomend taking them apart.

Hmmm, I remember talking to Shumax and he had no problem taking his apart and getting them back together. Now you have me scared! Hey, would you be willing to sell your broken set cheap? Let me know what you think. Thanks.

yea i heard about replacement lights too but i think i got confused with the dimond cut clears. altezzas are so pimp mine dont go on all the way and i dont wanna break them any suggestions? they almost fit perfect but they dont fit in the hole good enough the lights sort of stick out.
