Looks good. Should try it with one of the clear lens markers next.

Here are the finished pics this morning, I will put them in when it warms up later...still like 3 degrees in CT..lol...

I wet sanded them a bit, but I did not go too far, was afraid of messing up the finish more.. they could be smoother (little orange peel still) but I think they look pretty good.

Like the idea of going with clear...but these were cheap and available....if I like the look, I might do something different.

One of my side marker bulbs just went out. Do you just pop them out from the outside or go from the inside? It seems as if they will break if you don't do it correctly. What do you (or anyone) use to pop them out??

I have taken them out both ways. Its easier to get them out from the inside like changing fog bulbs. That way you can reach in and pull the tab to pop them out.

On the outside, I just used a knife and pried it out.

They are way easier to take out then you would think. Slide a pop tool (or butter knife in a pinch) between the outside edge of the lense and the body panel and juat pry them out....then you just pop the bulbs out and in.

Thanks for the comments ...working on my other 'spare' set now with another idea...amyone know how to separate the lense frome the housing...what temp and how long to bake them?
