before and after clear markers
 
5 Attachment(s)
Here are the before and after pics...I like the result...a lot...and even though the pic with the light on looks really orange its not quite that much for real...in fact to stay "legal" I may need to put an amber bulb in...but for now we're going to go as-is.

Thanks to Luis at Carson Toyota for getting me the markers!!!...$105 to my door :thumbsup:

Ohhhh, that looks REALLY sharp on SWP. I'm doing that to mine for sure.

Looks very, very nice!

How difficult to install? Can't imagine it's too tough. Looks nice. Would look nice on my SSM.

WAAAAAANT! Those look great! Would you mind checking if they say "Made in Japan" on them? Or on the box

Ordered mine last week. So, the lit up pic is with a clear bulb?

If an amber bulb shows through when off I was going to go with a pair of these: OSRAM Diadem Chrome WY5W ... or something comparable as long as they are bright.

Update: Bulb size specified in owner's manual is #194 @ 3.8 watts - 194NA is the amber bulb / 168NA is same size amber bulb @ 4.9 watts. Might try a DIY light coat of silver/chrome/white spray paint on outer facing bulb edge if the "egg yolk" appears through the clear lens.

yes...it is with the original clear bulb...and yes Luis suggested that the chromed bulb would be a good option...just not sure you'd even see an amber bulb in there anyway

$105 seems a bit steep. I'm hoping some aftermarket pieces come out soon.

impatience costs $$...I didn't think that was bad for JDM parts.

and I am thrilled with the look... :)

Re~Mix 07-06-2012 08:59 PM

If you have $105 to kill...

However, it does look very clean. Definite upgrade
