That Edition One looks much cleaner without the orange markers on it!

Thanks for posting the pics. Looks real nice.

So, is this vinyl or a smoked tint on the side markers? Or how do you smoke these bad boys?

EBay sell them smoked as is. I was hoping to be a tad darker, and u should use the OEM clear bulb.. Nonetheless, it looks great!!

I can put the OEM clear bulb in, but then the markers would not be legal they came with the amber bulb, why give the cops any more reason than necessary.

I understand... but that's what I did with mine, and so far so good. :P Looks much better than the orange reflection, and keep in mind the white bulb kind of reflect yellow a bit.

They're still not legal with the amber bulb. The reflector itself must be amber to comply.

Nevertheless, I prefer the look with the amber bulb and think they look great.

I think white LEDs are the way to go with sidemarkers but to each his own. Much improved over the orange marker.

After seeing yours in person I agree. I picked up a set for myself.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Sure thing, Mike! It's the subtle changes that make all the difference sometimes. Did you get the clear set or did they have a black set for you?

You can get a silver coated bulb on Ebay that glows orange when lit. That way you don't see the yellow/orange in the marker when the light is off.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I always thought it was legal to have clear corners + stealth bulbs as long as it still glowed amber?

Looks great Derek, I might have to get those for mine.

Have you put a LSD in yours yet? I'm getting an OS Giken installed on Monday.
