amber or no amber?

***rippars*** · 04-21-2007, 09:45 PM

*****UPDATED 05/10/07*****

well i installed the retros and left out the amber turns and they look good, but sometimes wish they were in there. as for the turn signals i put in silverstar signal bulbs, they lit up real well but didnt look right in there, so i put in some chrome bulbs and look so much better.

on to the pics!

i hope coach2fast doesnt mind me using his pics to help with a visual... (if so pm me and i'll take the pics down.)

amber left in

poll is still open! and i have another set of lights to retro...

thanks!

car looks good w/o the amber IMO

Selektaa · 04-22-2007, 01:16 AM

Agreed, leave the amber out

**truflip** · 04-22-2007, 01:57 AM

take the huge amber out.. but leave the reflector on

**dentrecords** · 04-22-2007, 06:47 AM

reflector in looks good IMO, and is functional

leave that..

I'm probably the oddball here, but I really like how that amber piece looks, especially on my NBP. I'd say keep it!

I also prefer the amber corners.

Amber look best..I think I favor them most because of that period in time when every one was clearing the head lights and adding altezza tail lights..The amber is very JDM...the clear lighting is very EURO, these cars are jap..

i like the amber cause it has a stock look, i mean we already know that you have modded it by seeing the black housing but taking it out it is just more. but its your car so its not up to me.

irichard · 04-28-2007, 12:46 AM

hey, but you still have that other amber piece even though you cleared the main amber. why don't you fully clear it?

***06civicsiguy*** · 04-28-2007, 01:15 AM

keep it in

***ryryninja*** · 04-30-2007, 11:52 AM

Help with the install on Thursday, I didn't realize how much a difference it makes until I saw it in person afterwards.

Definitely worth the money to get it done. Make my car look like complete s***t though.

If I only knew how to do it.. I would do it myself.
