haha Wil, the rear still shows a hint of orange. ![Wink](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
I bought myself a pair yesterday. I noticed all the crap they carried. uggh...
I noticed they came in red, blue, purple, amber, and superwhite. I at first bought the superwhite, but it was too dim to even be "superwhite", so I exchanged for the orange ones. I'm satisfied with them. But I still noticed a orange hue in the housing. The superwhites covered everything well in silver. Oh well. Looks pretty good IMO!

I had to also go to 3 different pepboys to find these and they were the last pair too
. Lucky me. They look great! who cares if they are APC, they are just 6 dollar bulbs.

I agree. Who cares, it's just a bulb. if it was for 20 bucks, then that's a different story. Also, for your '02+ owners w/ clear lights, what bulb did you use under the turn signal(194 type bulb)? I was gonna get a orange bulb, but it'll show. But it seems thats the only option right now. Superwhite on the bottom doesn't match the orange on top. Nor does a normal "white bulb" Are there any LED Type orange bulb?

Oh sorry for the delay fellas. I don't post here often. I filled a cup with silver paint and paint thinner. Get a good mixture going. I'd like to say 50/50 mix but you just have to mess around with it so it may end up 60/40. Then you dip! Hopes it turns out good for your guys. I'll try to post some pics or how-to's if I do another set.

I picked up some of the APC bulbs. To anyone that hasn't gotten them yet, be careful how you handle them, the paint comes off easily >:\
they do look much better then the stock bulbs though
