you can get them on ebay for like 30 bucks or so. but when you get them remember to go buy some silicone and add an extra seal around the sides because a lot of people are having complaints about condensation problems.

this is true. they're not meant for driving, so you have to re-inforce the seals on them with a good amount of silicone. I did this and still got condensation twice, I must have missed some spots, so I went over all of them real good and I havent had any condensation for a couple weeks. One of them had water in it a bit too long and discolored the fake chrome in one spot, its not too noticeable but it kinda sucks.

Make sure you use plenty of silicone and immerse those seals

Lightbulb Titan...Clear Bumper Lens

Titan,
I bought these clear bumper lenses from ProCarParts.com on Ebay for my '97 3.2. They look great and were cheap (especially on Ebay). I've had them for more than a year and have never had condensation in the lenses (of course, it rarely rains here, but the sprinklers hit them 3 times a week).

Check it out:

Titan...DIY

Titan,

Those clear lenses are so easy to change, it takes 5 minutes. Just Do-It-Yourself (DIY). Buy them on Ebay and save at least $15 off the sellers regular price. I got mine for $25 (reg. $39.95) http://procarparts.com Some places sell them for upwards of $75.

That emblem won't fit on the trunk lid correctly. Our emblems have a slight curve to them whereas those indiglo ones are flat. You can put it on the front though. They turn from blue to green in about a month. I know this all from personal experience.
