amber bumper lights to clear?

[vw2p5]

I have been searching high and low for clear bumper lights for my 2002 protege5, to replace the amber ones that are on their now. Does anyone know where I might be able to pick up a pair of them?

Thanks,
Chris

Toyota Celica markers are what you're lookin for.

Funny how searching High and Low seems to always be in the wrong place..

 

[mx-p5]

Just search in the middle and you'll be alright

FWIW I used bot the Celica and RX-7 ones and I thought the Celica lights looked and fit better.

I've got the OBX Celica clears waiting to be installed next weekend...yay...probably wire them to flash with blinkers as well...

Or hit 'em with a quick shot of spray paint - enough to cover but not enough to prevent light from passing through. Worked for me. You can see them at night but look black in the daylight.

Pics of both? Seems like a good idea, might give that a try

Make sure to get the reflectorized ones not the non reflectorized ones. Had both. The non reflectorized blingy lookin ones leak, don't fit as good & just look cheap & out of place. The reflectorized ones fit better & look like they belong & no leaks. Of course, everything except the leak & fit issues are opinion based.

Do you have a larger picture of your ride, so I could see the lights on your car?

Thanks everyone for the help!

It sounds like it's kinda difficult to install diffrent lights on to my car.

 

[mx-p5]

It's actually pretty easy. Undo the splash guard, reach up inside to pop the amber light out, then test fit the celica/rx7 light to see what type of grommet you'll need so the new light will flush up to the bumper. Make the grommet out of weather stripping from the local hardware shop. Place light on the bumper, insert rubber washers onto the bolts and place a thumbscrew onto it to hold tight

Simple as that. Problem is finding a set of clear marker lights that look good and not ricey and are still priced right

what's the grommet for?

 

[Maxx Mazda]

Its not a grommit its so it fits flush with the bumper. It's weatherstrip.

 

[mx-p5]

Sorry, weatherstripping. Not grommit. My technicality terms suck

I was looking at the dodge neon, or the lexus is300 clear bumper lights on ebay. Do you think either of those might fit on my car? or do they have to be toyota celica bumper lights?

Anything will fit with enough time and energy. But ones that no one has used before might involve a lot of drilling and trimming to get them to fit nicely.

I tried bot the Celica and RX-7 ones, I liked the Celica lights better. They're almost a perfect fit.
