Clear Bumperlights

Where are you guys getting your bumper lights? All around here they say they don't make them.

WHOA! They're only $62 shipped to my house for all 4? I thought they were like $150 or something for all 4 pieces! Oh man... I wish I had some spare cash to buy these and the matching blue LEDs!

Can anyone tell if me replacing these are hard? Next $60 I have, I'll buy these if I can do the installation within a day or two.

its not hard at all. You remove one screw from the long piece and one screw from teh short piece and it comes out. Twist out the bulb holder, and put it in the clear signal housings. Screw those in then you are done. Shouldnt take more than 5 mins.

i can feel your excitement through the way you typed that out... Anyways... you can also find them cheaper on eBay like dubcnea said... if you don't mind waiting... then again there's that "buy now" button on some sales...

Post pics when you get them on...

Shouldn't, unless the screws are all rusted out like what happened to me, went to go unscrew them, and the heads would just disolve. Good luck with it man, I hope you don't end up in the same boat I did.

Alothough their website is expensive, they put their products on eBay. I got the $48 bumper lenses for $24 from them. Well worth it.

I think i'll go for it. Its a VERY easy mod to "undo" when its time to sell the car anyway. Plus I'm willing to bet that it looks best on a black car

What search terms did you guys use to find these on eBay? I can find clear bumper lights but nothing that looks like the ones from procarparts.com.

And does anyone here have some pics of these (or something similar) installed? Since the thing is completely clear, I don't think LEDs will look to nice...

I couldn't find any on there now, but give it a day or two and some should be there....


....heads up for some people wanting to do the blackout headlights, here is a driver's side light here

and a passenger side here

Good to practice on or save your regular one's if you decide to switch back to stock..

Hey, what's the bulb for the Turn signals? Is it 7443? I want to replace my clear bulbs to amber, when I replace my bumpers to clear, did not bother to get the bulb replaced. I know it is not legal to have clear signals.

I doubt you get a ticket for that...unless you put blue lights or something.

7443 is dual element, I guess 7440 is single element.

Yeah, I think blue lights are illegal... heck, any color light (besides amber) is probably illegal. But most cops don't care...
