Hi Wankel, not a huge fan of the yellowish sidelights but wer'e all different.
Like the clear side repeaters though...they really help to update the car.

Have you thought about updating to the mesh grille? Perhaps thats not your style? Just a thought as loads of members have done this upgrade.

thanks for sharing...

The picture of the PIAA citylights don't do it justice, there's nothing like PIAA yellow, and it looks absolutely stunning when it gets darker out. I've actually done this to all my cars, I did it on my 05 GTi, my RX-7 had PIAA fogs in the yellow, and my Audi A4 Avant also has them.

As far as the updated grille, yes its on the list. I assume your talking about the OEM one, for like 05+ or something like that?

Next up will be updated grille, and full chrome bumper strips for fornt and rear, eliminating the red and orange running lights. And YES I know its probably not legal, but well worth it, and I guarantee you nobody will ever know! I think California law states that there must be some sort of amber indicator on the side of the car, but only if you cant see it from the headlamp. So if that's the case, and to make it legal, I might look into a dual stage bulb for the side repeaters, and then wire it accordingly.
