I bought a set. Over on Rennlist the seller says this batch is slightly thicker than the previous batch, which I missed out on, but should work fine...a heat gun or adjustments might be necessary. Been looking for a set for a while so at that price I'm willing to take a shot.

I just purchased the set Pelican has for $24 Pelian PN SIC-112-9A9-92-SET

Just an aftermarket gasket with adhesive application but it worked great with no issues.

Wow I'm impressed!

YES!
After spending about 4 hours polishing my plastics, I replaced mine with some generic rubber product (details escape me now) and it was close to this price. It looked great and sealed the electrics. I put about 6 hours into the 2nd project, but worth it.

Ok I've gotta ask this. With all the effort people put into deambering the lights and big money for the covers ($400? Really?) Why not just vinyl wrap the lights, leaving the headline ght exposed and covering anything else up. Would it just look Jenky? Or is there another reason?

lovely :cheers:

...but is that an older photo? --> sidevents
What about the blinkers?

In MO those would fail a safety inspection, and if pulled over result in a ticket. Can't cover or tint the turn signals.

then of course you would lose the fog lights...or if you accidently turn them on, melt that vinyl wrap.

I dont think that picture is a wrap though, think that's the covers that a couple people sell.

Nah they wouldn't. I have turn signals and I've never used the fog lights. The turn signals are in the bumper, its vinyl wrap and Indiana doesnt have safety inspections.http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1619237741.jpg
