First Exterior Mod - pics

My first extrior mod White side repeater lenses. Those orange ones HAD TO GO! I think the change in lens colour makes quite the difference in the overall appearance of Red 5, my '05 MC.

Sorry. I should have mentioned that. Triple-C
I ordered them on Monday, paid the standard shipping and they arrived in ONE DAY! All the way from the West Coast to the East Coast in one day standard ground.

They are also VERY easy to install. Took maybe five minutes.

I agree, these make a huge difference. My car is also CR/W. I got my 2005 Cooper before I sold my '03, and I made sure to switch these over to the new car.

Just be careful on the install; if you're clumsy enough or not paying attention, it's possible to push the bulb back through the hole and have it drop down near the wheel well. I think I had to open the bonnet to get it back.

Or, you can get some tinted side reflector covers:

but that price comes with illegality and makes the car more dangerous at night....go with the tinted ones. They still reflect and keep you safe
