It has been some years since I replaced mine, but I believe my side clears came with amber bulbs. I then bought replacement bulbs that look silver but flash amber. So you can't detect any amber when they are off.

I think the side clear lenses will complete the look and freshen your front end nicely.

Did you have a recent front end respray? I've read you have a lot of miles. The paint looks fantastic.

Don't look too close, the front bumper is pretty rough. I have never painted anything on this car. I have been thinking about paiting the front bumper but I will wait until after my road trip (next month) before thinking about doing that. There is also some road rash on the hood but it's not too bad, I can live with it for now.

Hmm... sounds like someone else is personifying their vehicle also .

Maybe a little... Instead of painting my existing bumper I'm thinking about buying this bumper and having them paint it seal gray:

Holy cow! The cost of that bumper alone, including fitment, paint etc is going to be worth about a quarter to a third of what the car's worth!

What the car is worth? What's that?? I'm not going to sell it or trade it in.

Not a good idea. I sent you a pm.

The side markers have amber bulbs in them, I recently did the facelift on mine as well, it looks a million times better

Thanks... I just ordered the side markers and lamps from Pelican Parts.

Penland, your lights look great! I think the European look is much better, especially on the white, black, silver, and gray cars.
