Bulb type with lenses?
Great to know that the clear lenses fit--thanks to those who do the research. Does anyone know the answer to the question about the "look silver-flash amber" bulbs? If so--what size are they? Thanks.

Mine are on the way! Not to find those tricked out platinum bulbs that light up amber.

OK, this will get you rocket racers laughing at me... Is it possible to dye the factory bulbs amber? Does anyone sell an kit you can buy to make your own amber bulbs from clears?
What I'm thinking of (and this is the RR part) is dying the rear half of the bulb amber and leaving the front half clear (looking down at the bulb from above).
I don't know why cars this expensive don't have white cornering lamps. My thought is that the rear half of the clear assembly will glow amber (as required) while the front half could be made to glow white, maybe providing some light for turning.
Be gentle with me guys... It's been years since I felt the urge to do stuff this crazy.

You need a J.C. Whitney catalog. They used to carry light bulb tints. In lieu of that, may I suggest a pair of J.C.'s premium chromed farm implement lamps bolted to each fender.

I thought you two old codgers were supposed to stick together, you know, like the geezers in the balcony of "The Muppet Show"?
I just hope that the forum is now not as boring to MB-BOB as it used to be.
BTW: my shifter boot is going under the knife on Tuesday. CST has decided to accept my silliness, and more smurfs will have to be skinned for my interior. Then Renntech spoiler on Friday will complete my "all show and no go" mods for the immediate future.

This is probably a dumb question, but.....
What size are these bulbs? The folks at the website where you can order the lenses say it's a "194/168" size. Is that what these irridescent bulbs mentioned above are? Thanks.

I called Autodynamics this morning... They said they were out of stock (first shipment sold out instantly), but they were expecting another shipment today of 200 sets. I asked if I ordered today, would my order be filled with this shipment, and they said yes. Of course, I don't know whether to believe them, but I'll order them today and wait patiently.
