What do you think of them and is there a place that you can get them for our cars?

Not sure if anyone makes them or not.

they make them

99% of the people on here think they are ugly

therefore, almost noone on here would even want to tell you where to find them.

i foresee this becoming a 4 page thread bashing clear lights before it gets locked by a admin.

I don't care for them, on any vehicle. I'd like to change the orange to red though.

so true, so true. I have had mixed (although mostly positive) feedback from filling in my front blinkers.

It's your car, do with it what you want.

i definatly do like the blinker mod on your car it's original and smooths out the front end a lot, but i feel that a lot of people post negativly on here just to post and make noise

I just subscribed to this thread to make sure it does not happen. If I do miss something, please feel free to hit the "Report this post" button and I will take care of it.

I will chime in and say that I think the clears would look sweet on a light colored car. On a dark one, I dont think it would flow. Just look at a black or maroon import with them. Just does not look right, but on a white car........SWEET!

It is your car, so do as you wish. Just be careful of asking for others opinions.

Perhaps I should mention the fact that I just photoshopped this picture for okfoz to give him the idea. The car has standard lights, which I'm sure the owner is proud of. Thanks, Felix!

Was there any need for a comment like that? The picture was never intended to fool people, it was never intended to be perfect down to the last pixel, it was intended to help out. To "give the idea" as stated in my post.

Honestly, I don't know why I bother sometimes.

Felix,
Thanks for the pic, actually tho I guess I wanted the stock red tailights, I should have specified that...

I am actually changing gears and I want a stock tailight to photoshop...

I too have never liked the idea of "those" kinds of mods to a third gen; but I will agree, if done tastefully it just might look good. If anyone does it, please do post!
