They are stock replacement, but the ones I have right now are both cracked REAL BAD. I thought about the Crystal Clears, but I already have normal clear sides and didnt want to have to get new ones. And, once everyone else has the crystals, my car will be uniqe for rockin the stocks :)

Ok, so here we go. This is what my lights looked like before, both toasted. The drivers side was in three seperate pieces. No good.

Here is the car taken apart. I decided to paint the grey trim ring things, as well as those little brass bulb covers. They make the lights look yellow.

Since my color is sort of flip-flop, I wanted to try out that color shift in a can. You know, the three can system. I didnt have very high hopes, but that stuff is awesome for small projects. Here is the stuff getting painted, you can see its a purple blue.

Here is one on the car, showing a little green action.

And here is both on the car. New stock lenses with a custom touch. They look great in the sun, like oil on water kinda. Makes my clear corners look like crap though, I may be gettin crystal clears now. So, what do you think?

I love it. I was also thinking of doing that on the lense but not sure how it would turn out. But now that i see it. I definately consider doing that when i do change the lense.
Can you do 1 more shot head on i want to have a better look on the lensethanks.
looks great man, I also think this would look better with the crystal clear corners just sell yours at the classified.
although i got tired my clear corner so i tinted my stock corners to give it a different look
