Very nice, it’s the subtle things that make the biggest difference. Next is professionally tinted windows, you will be amazed at what a difference it makes. Both in interior temps and aesthetics!

Looks good! I'm really happy with the clears on my metallic black 996. Haven't thought about the third brake light.

To finish it off you need to get silverized bulbs for those side markers (yes, you can see the amber through the plastic...) I got the clear third brake light for Christmas (sometimes my wife gets it...) and I really do like the way they came out... looks much cleaner on our silver cars!

+1 for the bulbs... a must do IMO

hey Fly, on your headlights is that all you changed (the blinker bulb) or is there an amerectomy operation like the MKI lights?

OK, guys, I'll bite. Where do I go to get the bulbs for replacement on the side markers and turn signals? I think I like the smoke colored cyclops brake light, too.

Hints/guidance is greatly appreciated.

Still gotta save up for the PSS10's as well!

Oh - none of these cost much - just a few $

Worth it!

so I bought mine at xenonmods.com - now there have been a couple people say they had less than great service recently. I found them to be very good....You can always find another source....

I talked on the phone and they set me up with all the bulbs for the car.... it cost about $35? (cant remember) well over a year ago and I have not had any issues with them.... The ones I bought are the silver coated ones

LINK there is an email address you can contact them if you descide to go with them I would love to hear how you were treated, if not, please post who you found as a good sorce for us to promote

I got mine from autolumination.com, no problems whatsoever - so cheap I bought an extra set, just in case.

I've fallen victim to the peer pressure (ok, it was actually the pics of the clear lenses and coated bulbs).

Both the lenses and coated bulbs are in my garage waiting for installation.
They really do look great on a silver car.
Hell, I even bought coated bulbs for the headlight and taillight signals.

I yield, the pumpkins do look terrible.
