Purchased from the same vendor. Bulbs are great but there customer service did not impress me. I was sent the wrong bulbs and it took waaay to long to finally receive the correct bulbs.

Yup, all the way around. Also, installed a set of Silverstar headlight bulbs, which apparently don't last very long.

I have them on the tails and side markers. I am too fearful to do the mod on my litronic headlamps to use a soldering iron and heat up the amber inside so I can put in clear bulbs.

It really makes the rear end of the car look much nicer.

damn, Randall your car looks so much different than your avatar picture. Very nice.

I think I'll pick up some of those chrome bulbs. What's this about a soldering iron and heating up the plastic though?

Dont, just a light spray of high temp silver will do the same thing. Ive got it on my past 2 cars and its the exact same. Blinks orange and everything but silver outside. A light coat of paint is cheap...

Henry did another amberectomy. this time on a 996 with litronics, at our last work on cars day.

Had to make the owner look away, and close his eyes, during the operation.

Next time you are in town....

I am really tempted to try my hand at the amberdectomy and ordered silver bulbs for the front as a way to convince myself. Now do I load up on my normal amount of caffeine or go cold turkey for two days before trying this. Either way my hands shake. Let's just say I would make a very bad brain surgeon.
