Default clear corners

If FD does 'em, go with them IMHO--didn't know.

Micheal, do you have the part number on these? I found this pair on Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/1157AST-Sylvan.../dp/B004PHYNEI

IMO - the silver stars create an odd blue reflection.

These are the ones you want:

Too bad Porsche notched the bumper at all. Would also have been nice and made sense for production costs to only make one bumper cover and build the bumperette around that.

FYI- I dont see the short lenses or any on the FD site?

You can find clear short lenses on this site but they are pricey!

You can also just heavily mist over amber bulbs with silver spray paint and they will still flash amber - that is what I did. Of course, for the price of bulbs and a can of spray paint you might as well buy the chrome coated ones (unless you are impatient like me!)

Tried these eBay Chinese lenses. Very poor quality. Even after major modification the bulb holder notches won't grab all three notches. The castings were different left to right. Had to re- drill the hole on the left to get the screw through it. They seem like they are worth about $1.50. Just generally ugly lights. I'm actually surprised since the manufacturing in china has really improved over the years.
