hey super66 - it did sit a tiny bit higher, but the position was perfect both in form and function. and, i did complete deamber the front and rears - i actually did silver style bulbs that blinked hyperwhite for both the front and rear blinkers - it looked great! when i sold the porsche i actually removed the bulbs i put in thinking i'd put them in my bmw - turns out the sylvania guide was wrong for the bimmer - so i have to buy different bulbs.

if you want, i'd be happy to sell you the bulbs i have - they were hardly used - i have a set of silver style that blink amber for the rear, another set of silver style that blink hyperwhite for the rear and a set of silver style that blink hyperwhite for the fronts. i may even have the stock set of fog lights if you want a back up (i replaced those with a set of hyperwhite and didn't have time to take them out before i sold the car). send me a pm if you want them - i'd sell all the bulbs for $25 plus shipping.

I had a B&M short shifter in my car for about an hour.....went straight back to stock...what the hell was I thinking!!!! Can you say hard effort and nothy? Not a slight increase in effort....mucho more.

I don't see how some people think it is better ...............
