Default New mod for the year

Springtime is here, and the mod bug is alive and well
I know it might look kind of rice, but it looks great on silver cars

I picked up a set of the lenses for my car as well. I think they look great on silver. Where did you get the bulbs and do they come in other colours?

Corvette Central sells them the cheapest I could find and it took them only 3 days from ordering it and receiving it. Very fast. got it for 79.95 + $11 and some cents shipping total of $91 shipped
Other vendors sell them for $99.95 + shipping cost so over $100
Lightlens which one forum member said was kind of fishy operation sells them for $88 + shipping.
took me about an hour to remove and install, it was a PITA though because of tight spaces #11 wrench or socket. One tip is after you remove the stock one, use the nut to pre-thread the new one because they don't come threaded which is actualy the easy part .

The bulbs I got from Pepboys, they are LED's and made by Pilot. Yes they do come in colors, don't know if they come in Red purple or green, I am assuming they do, only ones I saw on display is Amber and white.
hope this helps!
