Congrats
You got a good deal on the lights. The clear lights seem to blend better with the body and avoid the more "classic" or dated look, if you will. My '02 in Arctic Silver looks smoother without the obvious amber and could be tomorrows car. Some have removed the amber internal lens in order to achieve total de-ambering but I can live with it on my car. If you haven't you should do the side markers and get the silver bulb that blinks amber for a total clean look up front. The lack of amber will now produce at least 10 more HP and at least 5 ft lb of torque leaving your amber laden bretherin in your black break dust. Enjoy and party on !!

Calvin's 1997 has melted lenses from high watt bulbs. 2 months ago I met the local lady that bought Calvins car and she wanted to replace the melted amber headlights with good amber headlights. But when I bumped into the lady last week at the Parts Heaven swap meet I think she said she had already found some amber lights from a Boxster owner in Redwood City.

Heres what I did. Limo tint the amber lights and we put clear shield over it. My local radio shop charged me $40 total for this. You could probably do it yourself with some tint from walmart but you may need to replace it once a year without the clear shield. I have the amber side blinker lights too but I just got back from vaca I'll probably install those tommorrow, along with the heated seats kit and HID lights. I'll let everybody know before and after pics on each item for those of you that are thinking about similar upgrades.
I like the lights alot now, it gives it a custom blackout type look, plus my windows are limo tinted. Actually my lambo has this similar look from factory as you can see in the last pic.

It would be so cool if that chick's name was Amber.
Anyway, I think amber (the color -not the sign pole) looks good on yellow. (It's decent with red too.)

I think your asking for alot there. lol This is pretty custom and I havnt seen anybody else really that has done this. If you want to see it on your car cut out the lights from the pics above on my car and photoshop them onto your car

you can get some of that black tint film from auto store and lay it over the amber and see if you like it before doing the real deal with paint. pteam also has an ebay weblink for tinted headlight film protection which is worth looking into...if you don't like it, just peel it off. personally, i like the amber on my lapis blue 02 box....seems to be a good contrast compared to clear or tint but everyone has his/her own taste.
