The clear plastic you just pick up from Home Depot, its like 5 dollars a sheet. The orange has to be cut out with a dremel, sanded down, and painted over. I honestly like the look better with no plastic. I am just going to put in an orange led bulb instead. I just did it last week and it takes ALONG time.

Got any more pics of the turn signal without a lens WUB? What does it look like with the parking lights on?

The bulb is white. I just ordered some 12LED amber wedge bulbs. The stock bulb lumonisty is 6500, while the ones I ordered are 80,000. So I hope they will be nice and brite. I will post pics when the new bulbs come in.

I am going to attempt to convery my fog lights to a 18 Luxon LED system. I am unsure how it will turn out or when I will attempt it. It is going to be around 500 dollars for each light.
