Default Pics

Here are some quick pics.

The white outline you can see in lenses is glue from the manufacturing process. Not that noticeable on the white lenses but definitely noticeable in the dark lenses.

If you want I can take some better pics of the car outside later today.

(forgive the dirt. This is my daily driver)

Platinum XJR, are you using LED or incandescent bulbs in those clear lenses?
Do you think the yellow color could possibly be caused by a heat issue?

Benson7, I would be interested in purchasing a set, as long as Klearz will address the issue of discoloration.

Hi,

These issues have all been resolved.

I am using standard chromed bulbs and I have no idea.

Well now we know.

I wonder if they are going to warranty these?

I contacted them last year I told them about my problem.
They told me that they are not making these anymore.

As you know, these are not inexpensive and I would only buy another set if they had a guarantee.

To replace the small orange indicators, you will need to get a pair of trunk lights (it's a direct replacement)
