[Matthew]

there you go, second solution

Crap.. I just bought one of these.. and I didnt know how to install them.. I just filled down the holes.. shoved the light in.. screwed it down. and filled the gaps with hot glue.. looks like s*** right now. Gotta redo them later.

i was in a similar situation when i first did mine.

Hot glue doesnt usually mix with cars.(freak) That is why it looks like s***.

you have the diamond clear corners? they look kinda weird on ebay...but i think i might pick up a pair

 

[Matthew]

you talking about me? if you need better pics i can take some for you

 

[duMb KeoLa]

yah...sorry matthew... are those the diamond cut ones? or the stock ones?

 

[Matthew]

im sorry im really not sure what you mean by that..you mean is the silver part diamond shaped?

 

[duMb KeoLa]

yah...im looking on ebay and its saying "93-95 rx-7 diamond cut marker corners"...i guess its just the style... everyone is saying that the oem ones look a lot better but looking at yours they dont look bad at all... do you have any close up pics of the car with these on?

thanks man

 

[Matthew]

ill take one tommorrow, i dont have any handy and its dark...

 

[duMb KeoLa]

well..i got mine off of ebay and they came in today and they dont look like the ones you got... hmmm

looks like they will work but i might have to do something with the middle hole on the bumper. ill post pics and let you know how it goes when i get them installed.

 

[duMb KeoLa]

i just noticed why i dont have the right ones, i bought the REAR SIDE markers instead of the front...idiot, oh well, ill try to make these work and see how they look, if not, imma buy the fronts...

pics to come, at least ill be one of a kind

haha

glad you finally got it on

you can do this without cutting the bumper. you simply need to cut more things off the back of the lens itself. thats what i did, as i didnt feel comfortable cutting my bumper.

Hey man I just got mine today, but I would really like to see a better pic of what exactly need to be cut o the lens itself so that I don't have to do any bumper cutting... Thanks!

 

[Matthew]

what more do you need? i showed exactly where to cut?

 

[ZeroAccess]

He's talking about cutting the light housing not the bumper, Just hoping to clarify and honestly why isn't this move to the How to section...seems like a How to to me ...
