I bought a pair of the Silver Star turn signal/parking lights. They look very nice during the day and night. For those that don't know, during the day they turn the parking light housing a bluish goldish green color and at night they are bright amber with a tiny hint of red or green depending on the angle you look at them.#1 SS lights

I like the look of those, no doubt they would look pretty sweet with Neptune! My problem is, I can't stomach the cost for the things! Have they dropped any here recently? Last I checked, $20 for a pair! But if I could convince myself they're worth the cash, they would be!

Hmmm, well after some technical difficulties, here are the rest of the pics!Colenol, they are down the $15 a pair by me My boss gave me a $10 gift card to Murray's auto so I used that. I need to get a new set of the sivlerstar headlights after seeing the ones my friend's got on his civic I want a new set. I believe if you save the rescipt they will replace them for free. Murray's will replace them with the recipt and if I have the box and everything.#3 Reverse lights turned off.For the reverse lights, all I did was bought a set of those red condom like sleeves that go over the bulbs for like $1.50 lol. I think it makes a nice cheap affect.

lol, my mom was complaining to me about that. I'm not planning on cruising down the street backwards. I can just take the condoms off if I ge tin trouble. It's still real bright too. I was afraid it would affect my vision at night but I can still see perfectly when I back up.

I have the same silverstar front marker lights and I love them. The only thing that I didn't like is the even though you have a blue marker light you still have that orange reflector on the side of the lens. Thats why I got the headlight overlays from grafxwerks.com. I think that it really completes the look of my car.

Yeah, it's even worse for me. I got 5% on all the windows except mine, and 35% on the front 2 windows. Can't see a damn thing at night.Inder

Yeah, I put them on myself... they weren't that bad. I would be willing to help you put on a pair (when it warms up).

Well, that makes me want tint lol. I don't think I want to get tint...too much money and too risky to do. I have yet to see a good tint job.Anyways, I want a set of the corner covers too. Just ordered a strut bar yesterday though so gotta wait

Yeah. Hey Scott, if you don't feel like doing it. There's a very excellent mechanic in Dearborn Heights. My brother goes to him. He's a real honest guy. Won't charge you much at all. At most like $20. If he doesn't take the money, go across the street to the liquor store and get em a 6 pack of beer. He'll take that. But anyways, the shop is called Shamrock Automotive. It's on Ann Arbor Trial and Telegraph. Just turn right onto Ann Arbor Trial and it's on the left hand side. And talk to Rob. Tell him that Sonny sent you. He knows my brother very well. He will definitely hook you up as well. Here's the number if you want it:(313) 274-1717

Yeah. They work great as well. I was thinking about getting the APC (yes APC because that's the only company that makes them) reverse lights. Like the hyper white, which will give the reverse lights a bluish tint. And then put a condom on it as well to really make it look blue.Inder
