i really need to stop changing light parts, but i just ordered these:



i like them for the clear with black, many clear lights don't have the black.

my current lights are clear, black and amber.

Must be a new vendor, I contacted the vendor that I bought mine from and he said he could not get them anymore, but thought other people may have them.

yeah yours are the nicest but the prices are waaaay more expensive than the other clear ones and i'm not sure why.

that's why i jumped on the ones i posted above because they have the black housings and look very similar to yours but are about 1/2 the price.

if i find your exact same ones posted again i'll let you know.

also, i assume you're using an amber LED bulb in your side marker parking light? how well does it shine thru the clear? can you make out the amber color well enough?

reason i ask is because my current housings are amber with an amber bulb so it's quite easy to make out the amber color. just curious if the clear housing shows the amber bulb color enough.

i found the ones you have. the auction expired on april 19th at 11AM, so it looks like they're still available once they get relisted.




they are selling these things for $140 + 20 for shipping! the ones i got were $60 +15 for shipping.

either way they are still out there.

Yes, mine were more expensive, but my wife bought them for me for Christmas, so they didn't really cost me anything. She tells me I'm very difficult to shop for, I made it easy for her this year.

I used the mini tower amber LED's in the side marker lights, they are as bright or brighter amber than the oem bulbs and housings. Check with Richard as to which ones to use, he guided me when I was looking. I'll post a photo in the next couple of days, I'm a little busy tomorrow but I'll get to it as soon as I can.
