I bought it from duesmandela, he's a member of this site.
You can buy them off ebay, and I have heard you can order them from a Chevy Dealer. You may find someone else on this board that is selling one as well.

Thanks!! Bought them off ebay, you can find the clear front markers as well as the clear side markers on there. I paid $65 + $20 shipping on ebay for the front and side markers.

Re: New front end, Take a look!

I bought the smoked ones, but the clears look awesome as well....def need to get that h4 conversion done now.

This is my Setup:

Smoked Front and Side Marker Lamps (With Chrome Amber Bulbs) = $110
Diamond Cut H4 Conversion Headlamps (With Purple City Light; my color scheme is Silver with black and purple) = $50
4 Nokya Cosmic White 100/90w bulbs = $80
APC H4 Harness Conversion = $55 (Bought from TGO Member)

All came to around $295...for the full conversion.

Cant wait to see more progress.

Thanks!! I thought about painting the buckets black, but I decided I like the body color buckets better, never know though I may change my mind later on if I decide to get stripes put on.


To everyone else, Thanks for the compliments!!

The tinted signals on yours looks good, but I don't think it would look as good on my car considering your car is black and mine is red. I think the clear ones look better on lighter colored cars, but thanks for the suggestion.

Re: New front end, Take a look!

Looks sharp. But I think black headlight buckets would really compliment the new grill.

Re: New front end, Take a look!

bpeters113....how many coats of nightshade did you use?

I got my smoked lamps in and one was darker than the other so now im deciding to nightshade them but dont want to go TOO dark, just a nice smoked look...I think yours might be a little to dark for me but let me know how many coats you used...I have never used the stuff before..

i actually used window tint, had some tint left over after tinting my sister's house and tried it out. i really like how it turned out on my car. the tint i used allows 20% of the light through if it helps any.

Re: New front end, Take a look!

Well, maybe Ill pick up some tint $20 for 10ft by 3ft for 20%...but I might get 30? Ill let you know how it goes, thanks man, never thought about using tint....because I dont like the look of the nightshade as it gives a dull flat look and I want shiny. Thanks again.
