New to this forum.. Clearing out bumper lights?

How would I manage to do so?

I just got a 96 2.5 TL , all black, for christmas, and I am ready to do some mods.. first step is tinting and clearing out the bumper lights..

where can I go to do this/ how much would it cost?

I appreciate anything..

I've been looking around for a forum like this and I am glad I found 1!.

first off...welcome to the forums ...secondly...the search box is your friend. pretty much everything that new guys come on here asking about has already been covered so just look around and if you still cant find the answer to your question, go for it and ask.

as far as clearing the bumper lights, it's not really clearing them. it's a completely new set of bumper lights that are clear. just order them, take out the old ones, and install the new ones. voila! installation is a breeze so no need to take it somewhere. i've posted this link all over the site but since you're new, here it is.

have fun with the car and welcome to the site!

Be careful with these aftermarket bumper lights...I ordered a set and after applying silicon sealant all around the seam, the left front bumper light started to show signs of condensation. I then ordered another set and guess what? Same thing. I'm now just living with it.

maybe you get what you pay for? I paid almost 80 bucks for mine and no problem for me after 4-5 years of having it.

2. Mesh on Air dam
3. JDM Tails
4. Shark Fin Antenna
5. Clear Fogs (Take out the condoms)
Good luck.

it's a turn signal...who cares? the light is going to go through it whether there's no fog or lots of it.
