And also, smoked rear corners, IMO.




ps. Don't make fun of this pic ^, the girlfriend took a picture just as I was finishing up the install haha
hey how do you like your v-led 5K white/amber switchbacks? thought about getting these but they're quite expensive.

and for this topic, I would go smoke for sure but that's IMO.

I love them, something that sets me apart from the rest of the cars on the road haha.

If you decide to get them, I'd suggest upgrading to 5000k V-HIDs to match. 5k switchbacks + Halogen lights =

Haha, I already have HID's. If it was halogen and the 5000K LED switchbacks on my car, I would be taking the beating. Another question, do you have to get load resistors for this mod?

I was worried about the same thing when I got the switchbacks, so I ordered the resistors with them. Since I put the switchbacks in, I haven't needed to install the resistors. The turn signals work great, no hyper-flashing or anything.

You can't go wrong with either clear or smoked lenses on a white car, but I would personally go smoked if you have black rims.

Black Turn Signals with Chrome/Amber Bulbs Link

Smoked Rear Side Marker Lenses with Red LED Bulbs Link

Smoked Tail Lights from American Muscle (discontinued)

Black Third Brake Light (forgot where I got it)

If I were you with a Blue GT, I would definitely get clear - that's a no brainer.

Oh yeah without a doubt, is the only method of making them clear is buying the lights themselves? I'm assuming you can't tint something clear rofl.
