    roll with one of each..people see the pink wheels and think that you're confused anyway. :P

    depends on color of the car, but 90% of the time i take the full orange.
  • paint your bumpers and go with the orange ones ;-)
  • bluhondabluhonda Band Wagon
    I like the clear ones. i went clear on my wagon.

    Amber ones compliment the fender markers....Clear ones compliment the corners...Either way but I would do amber.
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    tru dat ^^^


    if i eventually get painted bumpers, door handles and mirrors imma go back to clear bumper lights so it looks more sophisticate... kinda like in this pic:

  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    i was actually thinking about getting amber bulbs in my clear corners, but amber inserts? those may really look ill... cant wait to see it mang!

    i meant the oem clear bumper light with the oem amber insert.

    And these sidemarkers with amber bulbs

    On your car, I like the amber ones. Somehow it seems a little more Euro to me (since that's the look you have going). Even though true Euro cars probably have clear lenses. :lol:

    It's the easiest thing in the world to make an OEM clear lens completely clear. Remove the lens from the light assembly. There's an amber "filter" that clips around the bulb to make the white light amber. Remove it. Replace the clear bulb with an amber bulb, and you're done. Total cost: FREE! Though I'll bet you can buy them for $20 plus $50 shipping on eBay... :lol:

    If you're going clear, I recommend a pair of Sylvania Silverstar bulbs, which are amber bulbs with a coating on the outside so that you don't get the ugly amber reflection inside a clear lens. Here's how it looked on my Saturn:

    The light assemblies are nice and clear all the way across, rather than clear headlights and clear-but-amberish turn signals.

    yeah i know about that amber insert, but thanks for the tip man!

    about "euro" stuff though... the EDM bumper lights were the same as the USDM ones throught the different years. so this is pretty much a preferance thing now :P haha theonly issue i have with the orange bumper lights is that is looks a bit too deep and "old." i like the ones turbo-teg has/had though on his, they were aftermarket oranghe ones that had more of a shine.

    WOah!

    Who makes those please?
    They are the same as the OEM CRX VT side makers, but clear!!
    (BTW, I have tons of these in orange)
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    they look super OEM except for those screw holes... :?
  • ThatDoodleThatDoodle Council Member
    i found them on yahoo japan. they were listed as crx. I doubt theyre del sol crx cause those are a different shape.
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert

  • I think the clear ones looked better since you put the clear corners on there. Then again it isn't my car :wink:
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    i likey the contrast
  • Is it too late to vote?
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    naw, go for it :lol:
  • i say clear but take out the amber reflector inside the lens
