Definitely need to put a bead of silicone around the edges. I left them on overnight and it rained...I just took them off to find the passenger side lense half filled with water. just tried to to shake out as much water as I can and now they're sitting in front of the fan. And all of you that think these only look good on gray/silver...




I'll get a couple better shots since my camera wan't working too well...

You better hope they don't look good on a sterling mist, or you'll be kicking yourself.

yeah i know i was just thinking that! darn things are going to cost me about an extra $20. nothing major but still would have been better to get in on the GD (especialy seeing as how i started this thread) i should have just gotten them and sold them if i didn't like them.

you're about two weeks late dude. but when the rears come out there will probably be another GD and customenterprise.com might allow the fronts to be part of the new GD with the rears.

Ya, the pics were taken in the garage since it was raining. I'll post some better ones in a bit. Still trying to decide on the bulbs. Not sure if I want to go Polarg white cause that may get me a ticket. Anyone suggest a nice yellow bulb? Polarg?

even if you put a yellow bulb in you can still get a ticket because they have to reflect yellow AND light up yellow to be legal.

i dont think that should be a problem. but on a sterling mist i think clears would look nicer. see for yourself:

True, but I've haven't been pulled over for my 3rd gen clears with yellow bulb. I'm thinking the police in the area would pay more attention to the color at night. Maybe I'll mount some tiny yellow side markers... Nah, I'll wait to get a ticket first.

believe it or not, no i haven't. that will be done tomorrow. just had to wait to have some time and dry weather to occur together. i'll post new pics once the clearcoat has been done.

o i haven't forgotten about emailing you those pics of the clears either, my schedule here at work has just been all wacked, and afterwork my girlfriend always has something for me to do. i promise i'll get to that tomorrow also. sorry bout that.
