Ok, maybe a stupid question but . . . when installing these clear lenses is there a choice of "orange" bulbs to use? Are there any that will be less visible than others when not blinking? Thanks.

Flott, you can use Silver Vision bulbs or similar - available at Pep Boys (and others) in the ricer mods section. These bulbs have a silver coating on them so they are invisible behind the clear lenses during the day, but they glow orange when illuminated. I installed them on my 740iL after upgrading to clear front corner lenses - they work great.

I don't want to hijack this thread either but going back to the pay the membership/sponsorship fee question.
It sounds like Joakim took a gamble doing the 928 lenses ? if so it seems reasonable that he should at least be able to advertise "for Free" to start with on this forum. Obviously once he is selling enough to actually make any money out of the venture then it starts to become reasonable that he should pay for the privilege.
I suspect that had Joakim been a trading company of any significant size then the list Administrator or Herr Dunkle would have stopped this thread.
I say good luck to anyone who takes a punt on providing new parts for our 928s (I am sure that P wont)

fraid that clear lenses may have to wait 'til after the engine rebuild
