At that point, why not just buy smoked from ebay or do the NHT nightshades spray?

Wasnt the whole idea to get body color?

 

yea i was just curious.

5% tint on the side markers would be a lot more black during the day than the smoked ones i would think.

like bigpopaj369 said, i would tint them yourself its really not that hard. in my opinion i would try it yourself see how it comes out and then if you dont like it pull the tint off.

 

Let me figure out how to post pics on here and I'll certainly do it.

 

Create photobucket account.

Upload images to photobucket.

In your .org post, click on the "insert image" button (looks like mountain peaks with sun)

Copy and paste the "direct link" address from photobucket into the box that comes up in your post when you click on the "insert image" button.

 

Alright, this is my first picture posting attempt....ever. Let's see how this turns out.

 

looks good. I wanna see some night pics as well. I may be doing this

http://i947.photobucket.com/albums/a.../nightpic3.jpgI did take a few night pics last night. Now I need to learn how to add them to my photobucket album and do multiple pics in one posting. I have 3 pics, 1 close up of front, one close up of rear, and one taken about 20 feet away of both. Bear with me, I'm slowly learning how to use a computer for more than just looking at ****

dont worry man.

when you go to photobucket and upload a pic, after it has finished uploading it will give you an option as to what photo album to want to put the pic in. just chose which ever one you want.

as for putting multiple images on a post. Notice that when you click the little pic button on the forum it puts [IMG] tags around the pic. Well on your photobucket account when you hover the pointer over each pic a list of 4 tags appear, one of these has the [IMG] tags around in. copy and paste it directly to your post. simple as pie....just not a tasty

Alrighty then, I think I'm starting to get the hang of this. Anyway, this is a shot from about 20 feet away.

 

take one up closer

is there any change in the color of the light from the paint?

i got mine in the mail today. They are okay, some white paint on the top of the lenses from when they painted the housing on the back white.

And shipping took a week and a half with ups i manage our ebay store for work and i make sure things go out same day and it gets there in 3 days or less

 

I would get the clear side markers if I were you. That's what I got for my daughters car. If the color of your car is Sheer Sterling the paint code would be KYO. Here is what my daughters Max looks like with the clears.

So incase anyone is curious on the ebay set for 35 bucks on quality. The fronts do come with orange bulbs that do light up orange at night. the rears do NOT come with bulbs. I didnt want to look like a ricer with white rear side markers so i just plugged the sockets into the smoked assy with NO bulbs

They look great and blend in so go with the car that my wife did not notice them yet, and yes she is a car girl. Fitment for the rear ones was loose, i used a little bit of body sealer that you use around tail lights to make it fit snug and not loose and sloppy now they are snug, that is the only bad thing about them.

well worth the money though

 

Ther merlot would probably look better with smoked front and rear. The light could not be hitting his tails in the pic and that's why I'm thinking smoked looks better IMO. His front grill and headlights are also dark.

The silver max should be left alone unless you clear your headlights. Tough color in general to play with side marker colors. +1 on getting rid of the banner.

I have clear markers in the front of my gray lustre and smoked in the rear. I like it anyways, it's all based on ones taste anyway.

I've had the clear markers in the front for 5 years with no water in the lens. The smoked ones are also eBay and I've had for 6 months, no water in the lens, also running no bulbs.(like the post above) Just clear bulbs in the front.

 

Sorry for the stupid question but what specific led bulbs did you use for the side markers?

 

Does anybody know if the harnesses that plug into all the bulb sockets are the same? I'm missing the two side marker harnesses, some wise guy stole mine and cut them right off!

 

Bringing this back from the dead, but does anyone have a pic of black with clear fronts?

 

Bad picture, but you get the idea. They have since been switched back to stock. I made a real mistake with those as the clear ones do not look good at all on black in my opinion. Just too much contrast. I may pick up a set of smoke ones in the future, but for now it's stock ambers.

 

Thanks for the quick reply wax, thats what I was afriad of too. I may give the smoke ones a try, they're only $26 shipped!

 

I think those would look great on black. They have a real nice almost gunmetal-like shine to them. Definitely would like to see pictures of those on your car if you get them.

 

Me too.
