Question 'jdm" sidemarkers

i've got these jdm sidemarkers frm japan but not sure if i want to install them.
thy're orange and about 2.5 inches long and 1.5 inches frm top to bottom.
most jdm lights have that little "bump" on them on the lens instead of just being straight.

what do you guys think?

i will try to post pics .

I think he means the orange lenses on the front bumper. The JDM ones are shaped like our DSpeed ones John...

I want a set...they're nice to have...

Just curious... how come you want JDM orange markers when you can get the ones like D-Speed etc?

im talking about those side markers you put on both front fenders. it has nothing to do with the bumper at all. well, since i have not seen one, might as well put them on.......hehe

at least i will look a little different........but.....hmmmmmm. let me think about carefully before i start
making any holes in the fenders..

i know there is a pic of someone who did it, can't remember who. it is around though and i believe in the gallery, just look around.

i personally didn't think it flowed too well with the car, was a bit out of place. looks better on german auto's.

We used to jack those silly lights off Audi's when I was an idiotic teenager. And I was a hole drilling fool at the time as well....don't do it unless you've given it serious thought. Looks good on German cars, not so much on Japanese cars. Adds nothing but gaudiness, just my opinion...

...search...man....

All I had to do was go to advanced search, scroll to the SC section and type in "dspeed clear corners" for keyword and I got this.

I checked out the Takakaira site, and the only D-Speed clearcorners I find are for Soarer...will these fit 95 SC400? I'm guessing they will...but thought I would ask...are these the same ones as the ones that Vegassc400 has pictured at the beginning of this thread ?

D-Speed Soarer Clearcorners (part No. 3954)

It's the fifth one down the list...I just want to be sure before I order...

Oh, another question...does anyone have pictures of how the amber bulbs look in these clearcorners? How about pics with hyperwhites in them? Just wondering which looks better...

Newbieitis. Although I'd much rather see redundant posts made to old threads rather than new threads being created that deal with subjects we've already covered in scores of previous threads.

a norcal member here has installed those on his car... i think his sn is ajayssc40093 ... in person they look fine, so it's reallie a personal choice. here's a pic of his car taken from the gallery, i guess you can pm him for more info.
