Today I noticed that one of my bumper leses had fallen off or gotten stolen. It doesn't really matter to me either way right now, but I'm considering what to do to replace it. Should I spend $30 and get clears and put yellow bulbs in? Should I get a replacement from Conicelli($14 for what i need) or Forum Dodge or Tally Mitsu and keep it amber?

Personally, I think my car looks "right" with the amber side marker lights because theres still amber in the headlights and the taillights aren't clear or anything, but I've seen several Eclipses around here with the clear side markers and they seem to look pretty good. Lemme know what you think

I think clear lenses and amber bulbs sounds like a good idea.

go with the clears....it made a huge difference on my car! i like the clears wayyyyy better:thumbsup

ya go clear.. :)
oh and get the euro clears.. i like those way better than the regular diamond clears.

Are the clears legal in all 50 states? I thought i read somewhere than in CA you have to have amber sides. Does than mean you can have clear sides w/ amber bulbs? I'm thinking about the same mod but would like a little more info.

i think you will be fine as long as you have amber bulbs. but i dunno where i live there are no laws on anything to do with cars :thumbsup :thumbsup . definatly go with the clear with amber bulbs. you can get them for around $20, on ebay and so forth.

is there a law against them in florida?:shrug

Clears look much better IMO

get clear ones. but be prepared to watch them fill up with a little water. The ones I had did really bad...So I took them apart and painted them the same color as my car. That looks sweet imo.

I have the euro clears with amber LED bulbs. I think they look really nice and I don't have any problem with them leaking water.

i have the clear side markers myself with amber bulbs. havent had any water leakage prob, and i get comments on the better looks during the day. those clear side markers make a big diff, and they're simple and easy. just my 2 cents

i have euro clear corners w/ the amber led. It looks good imo but it is filled w/ water. I still like them though heh.

they are legal in florida and if you want to keep from getting water in your bumper lenses, you can take some superglue and put it along where the two pieces meet. it'll seal them up and you won't get water in them. i didn't do it to my euro clear ones and ordered a new set of clear ones and one leaked so i ordered a new set and put superglue around it and it hasn't leaked since.

Yea i agree clears really clean looking (if you clear the headlights its better) but just in case you dont want them i have a set of stockers i can sell you for like, basically shipping. (if you dont want to pay more for clears of conicelli price + shipping and stuff)

The clears definately clean up the bumper!! I am a fan of the standard non-euro clears though:thumbsup

how much to ship to hawaii?? haha i lost my stockers and i kinda need to swap them in if i ever wanna go and pass recon..

recon (reconstrucion) is this stupid little thing we have in hawaii where your car needs to get inspected if you do mods. you need like an affidavit from a shop if you do rims or exhaust stating that it's safe and crap. plus they check your height and suspension and other stupid stuff. for some reason they don't care about big things like if you threw on a turbo kit or did some major engine work. supposedly recon is for safety but who knows. they didn't even check my brake mods even though i listed it down... :wary
