Nice, btw, is there anything that replaced the orange thig or did you just take off the orange and not replace it? BTW, hope then HIDs won't get stolen again.

Sweeeeet!!

Very Sweet looking, I am also in New Jersey and ordering the DDE's for my headlights. Also there is a company that makes the replacement lense for the amber turn signal.
Tap Plastics
4538 Auburn Bl
Sacramento, CA 95814
(916) 481-7584

I am going to get a frosted lense replacement for mine so I can put them in while doing the DDE's. Hey let me know if you ever want to hang or get together and do some work. I have a place to take the cars if you want, nice shop with everything at your disposal.

Here is a link to the page with pics of the cleared out amber lense if you want to look.

Locks? Do you mean that aluminum crap you can bend with your hands??
That thing doesn't work....or so I've read.

My friends on other cars have white blinkers and never been pulled over for it. So I am not sure if it is legal.

NT2SHBBY: you posted you have extra pieces to install in place of the orange lenses? If you dont need them, I'd be glad to take them off your hands as I plan to clear out the headlights in a couple weeks. Lemme know. Thanks

Looks very clean - particularly on white. Any reason you chose not to go with the home depot lens? Good work!

Did you have the Data Dots anti theft recall done before the install? Tried 3 times today to get the lights out & couldn't.
