Turn signal and side marker tint overlays installed!
FINALLY!!! Before doing this mod those darn turn signals and their oranginess was driving me crazy! But now I'm calm and happy.
I hated how the orange would stand out so much against the black and the red side markers looked kinda weird too so I blacked them out as well. I took some pics. The first is a shot with one overlay on the driver's side and none on the other so you can see the difference (note I used flash so the orange might stand out a bit more on both sides), the second is of the rear panel with the overlay on the marker (the red is still visible put if you step back a bit it blends in). A couple of you guys where interested in tinting some of your lights so here's the info: I got them from Blue Batmobile, his temporary page is here. The shipping was fast and I got to use my PayPal money that I had laying in my account so that was a plus. You have to email him if you want any overlays. His email is bluebatmobile@san.rr.com and he has tint overlays for the turn signals, rear side markers, head lights, tail lights, and the third brake light (I think I mentioned them all) which he sells in either a light tint or dark tint (I got the darker ones).
EDIT: I also want to mention that the lights shine like usual when turned on, so at night the side markers and blinkers would be lit up and therefore should be in compliance with the law. I can't say the same about the head light and tail light tints as I don't have them.

SWEET!!! It does definatly clean up the look! I don't know if I'd do it on my tungsten or not but it goes great with the sleekness of the black!!! [sm=smiley20.gif]

You're car is the only car with the pony package fogs that i've actually liked. I gate the pony package fogs but on your car it looks GREAT!

The lamps will not meet FMVSS-108 lighting specifications (legal requirement) with the tint.

I believe i read somewhere that you could always replace the side marker turn signal bulbs for brighter light ones then im sure they would be bring enough to drive at night with. Plus when you order them from a dealer it says nothing about being off road use only so that would make you wonder.
