Probably would if you went used an amber bulb in the turn signal. But if you used the same color bulb as the lens it would probably look good.

I would like to see these with LED boards

What, a clear bulb for the turn signal? Dont think thats legal.
If those silver bulbs were still available they would work great.

Most silver bulbs light up amber, but I've seen some light up pink .

I have them in my front turn signals and got em off eBay. I think LED bulbs in those "modern" red/clears would look sick.

Yeah, silverish chrome outside appearance, but they light up amber...red...whatever you buy. I have them in my R34 headlights for the clearance lights.

If they were more stock looking and not all diamond cut I'd like them.

Yeah I have the red/clears on my 95. I kinda dreaded it but I like them now. I only got them because at the time they were on sale for less than the stock ones. So I jumped on that price.
Stock > all. But I like my money :].

What about the taillight film? I had painted my tails on another car of mine and was disappointed with the lack of durability of the paint (needed to be reapplied every 12 months to maintain sheen). I believe it was the Testors candy red translucent - looked great at first, but didn't hold up.

I recently did the amber sections of tails on one of my cars and it looks great - now these are more of a prism cut effect instead of clears, so maybe this is only an option for factory tails (not sure how translucent the film will look on clears). I will get some more and do my factory amber section on my 96 Max and post up.

Link to the Film I used


Excuse the 2 second PS job - you get the idea...

oh ok. i have the clear ones that are amber. i like how they look in the day time when it reflects amber on the mirrors. i used to have them white but i like the amber. gives it a little somethin that isnt too plain... but eh, i always change them to white, then amber, then white, and just right now they are amber

They do look really good. I would get the chrome bulbs for the clear lenses and red bulbs for the red lenses.
