i am talking about these....


from Coopertuning Germany

i am really interested in getting them, they are about 35 dollars

what im worried about tho, is that they are from germany, i dont know how long it will take to arrive, and also, if they are easy to install....

does anyone have these or kno anything about these?

and has anyone ordered from CTD??

thanks for all your help....

 

I purchased a set of these when I ordered new taillights. CTD is a good organization however, delivery may take a couple of weeks.

I have not installed mine yet and fit may be an issue. Removing the stock lenses is easy. Open your bonnet and stick your hand back behind the light assembly. Take a plastic or wood stick similar in shape to a flat screwdriver blade (or a screwdriver blade wrapped in electical tape)n and while pushing on the back of the assembly, carefully pry up the leading edge of the chrome trim from outside. Once you get this to pop out pull the entire assembly out and towards the front of the car. Remove the light socket and pinch the clips that hold the lens in.

The factory lens and the CTD look identical in terms of the mounting clips, flanges etc. For some reason I couldn't get it installed although I was in a hurry. I ended up putting it back in the box and reinstalling the stock one for the time.

The concern I have about this lens other than simply getting it installed: My car is black. The lens is smoked. The socket is white. The bulb is amber That socket and bulb show through the lens like a fried egg on a iron skillet. Not the look I was going for. I knew the bulb would be an issue and am still trying to find a supplier for a bulb that shows silver or clear but ignites amber. The socket, I was not prepared for. I guess paint or even a Sharpie marker might do the trick.

I'll check the fit again and report back. if I can get them on I may still be interested in letting them go for say $15 plus S/H.

By the way nice details on the ICE-Link, I'll certainly refer to them when I get mine.

sweet keep my updated!! i am really interested!

 

I got those! Ordered from CTD great company, shipping took little longer to Hawaii but I got them. Looks great. Install was pretty easy, no need to open bonnet.

From side of car, facing side marker, slide side marker towards from of car. Then pull rear part of the side marker away from the body of the car. Once clip is clear of the body, then you can pull towards the rear, the rest of the side marker.

Side marker is all black and you can hardly see the white socket holding the bulb.
I also change the amber bulb to PIAA super white blub. The blub is actually blue but pretty bright!

hope the helps....

 

sweet, i might order, why did u put the PIAA blue bulb in?

 

Don't like the way the amber lights look. The bulbs are super white so when turning at least I know they can see me turning, that and it matches the Xenon's.

 

oooohhhhhh, miniphyter808, I wanna see!!!!!! I always thought those would look awesome on my CB/CB MC.....but never bothered to ask if anyone had em. You're on Oahu, right???? Awww man, I gotta see at the next Hawaii mini and a movie if you go!!!!

Where did you get the PIAA bulbs? I need a source for bulbs and the only one I've found cant seem to get it right. I'm looking for clear or silver looking bulbs for:

Rear turn signals that ignite red
Front turn signals that ignite amber

I also would like replacements for factory fogs and the parking/standing lamps to match color of Xenon.

Have you tried looking for LED bulbs? They are usually white or clear, and can be manufactured to light in almost any color. I know there is at least one company that makes direct replacement bulbs, though they do carry the "for off-road or show use only" disclaimer.

 

I'll try and take some pics during christmas. I'll post them up by friday!

I got mines from ebay a year ago. Found some on ebay now, I just did a search for PIAA 168 bulbs. the 168 is the size of the bulb, thats the only number i found the packaging anyways. not too sure the size of the other lights are??

 

i love mine!

had them put on at the dealership, before the car left the lot! also did the shorty antenna before id even sat in the car. i cant be rollin out of the dealership stock!
