good job! the isf tails looks killer. consider putting in a chrome mirror bulb in there to take away the amber reflections from the clear signal light =)

yeah, i heard about that before... what color does it blink when you use your turn signal?

also, is this something Nigel can get for me, like an option for the chrome mirror one instread of the amber? or do I have to get this 3rd party? cl vendor?

It blinks yellow when on, while blending with the chrome reflectors inside the assembly when off. I purchased mine from a 3rd party online, and it rids the clear lense of the egg-yolk look, perfectly.

Yes, so you have to need to buy 2 pieces only instead of 4 (signal pieces), because the rest of the pieces are exactly like stock.

In the pic I like the red outs better than the IS-F's. I blacked mine and left the reverse light clear.

*oops my bad, wasn't paying attention to how old the thread was, and didn't read the last page...*
