Default Pics: Blackout Side Marker Lights

Just got my new blackoutout side lights installed this weekend.
These are original stock side marker lights that have been blacked out using a special heat transfer process.
Best quality blackouts available.

Very nice Jim. Those sort of complete the package. Are those the ones I saw on ebay yesterday?

Hi,

The lights are made and sold by forum member Richard Todd (C5VetteLS1)
He is selling through e-bay until he can become a supporting vendor.
If you're interested, I can get somewhat of a better deal on them without going the e-bay route.

Thanks,
Jim

These lights look as if they came stock on the car.
They are the OEM "stock" side marker lights that have a special blackened heat activated process that look better than they came factory on the car.
Just depends on what look you are wanting to achieve.

These lights will compliment any color vette, especially ones with blacked out rear kit installed.
