Clear Bumper Lens

Looks very good. Not to crazy about the way it lights up though, I like more of a uniform look throughtout the lens. :D Good Job!

I'm not to crazy about the bulb in there now.. I am planning to get a different one very soon! :) but I DO LOVE the fact that the BIG ORANGE thing is gone from my bumper..
 
there was a tip posted a few weeks ago about bulbs.

you can buy silver spray paint and paint the bulbs silver. they wont look as ugly in the day and they'll still light up orange at night.

looks good so far except for the bulb =D

mp5driva-no company makes clear sides specifically for the p5 yet =(
 
I silvered the front turn signal bulbs, and I must admit, the effect is great. The difference is subtle, but like the orange bumper lenses, you won't regret it.

I am a lil hesistant to try it on the bumper and fender bulbs because of their size. They're out in the open and not really hidden behind opaque glass, so the spray paint job may look very obvious from up close. Also, it's very easy to overspray and end up with a bulb that won't outshine a firefly.
 
just an fyi. i installed the rx7 knock offs from pro car parts. they leak bad. i wrote to them and the said it is a common problem :confused: oh, well. i've got to real seal them with silicon. :'(
 
I put some 3mm black foam stuff between my light and the car to help with any gap.. you can't even tell! I'll check it after it rains to make sure no water gets in..

thanks so much to everyone for all the help.

APC makes a bulb that is already silvered, I put them in my last cars turn signals. They look pretty good, kinda like chrome.
They're called Titans if anybody's interested.

Do they fit in our P5's front bumper light and fender lights by the door ? If so, do you have a website that lists their products ?

Thanks~
