Default Just done clear DRLs with flash backs

Well today I got the delivery from Mr Brown. It was my clear front corners and clear rear side makers. Huge thanks goes to chuck1026 for making this happen. Did the flash back LEDs and rear LEDs inclear that turn red. Mark {Myragtop} dropped by and I installed a set of Rocker Savers on his great looking Yellow Vette.Great guy and so was his friend Walter .So its been a full afternoon for sure. Here's a coulpe of pictures and a small video of the flash backs.

Right on Manny, that looks sweet!!

Now it's time for some brighter headlight bulbs.......something with a slight blue tint so it matches the others!

Can you post a picture with the DRL's on so I can see what that looks like?

Those look great! I really like your clear side markers! They don't seem to be hyper flashing either. Still waiting for the LED flasher to arrive, I'll be in touch.

Arch did you click on the link after the last picture. Thats a video of the switch backs working . I did buy the brighter blue bulbs ,but the LEDs are so strong that the head lights and fogs look yellowish.

Thanks Mark. By the way fellow CF member Suprfun is one stand up guy. When he found out I was doing the LED flash backs he contacted me about his fix for the hyper flashing and arranged to send me the LED flasher unit that I need no questions asked . With people like Suprfun and chuck1026 it gives me hope that there are still a few souls in this world that think more of others than them selves. Kudos to you both .

Manny...........

Turned out great. I agree on the headlights though, the switchbacks make them look yellow. When I did my switchbacks, I switched to HIDs and they looked good together.
