LOL

yeah, I think I jumped in on this thread in Sept 2004 when I was getting parts from Steve and Sunil for my Parktronic (PTS).

I had trolled this thread from way early on, and always knew that Euro bumper strips were the way to go. In the meantime, yes, even I, had those cheap eBay clear sidemarkers.

Then when I got the Euro strips, I initially wrapped the bulbs in hi-temp electrical tape, and that held up pretty well. But in time, I took Mark Cummins' advice and had the resistor put in, so I didn't have to worry about them any more.

Sometimes it's good to go back and see what kind of silly questions were being posed way back then...

Where to buy bumper molding?

Where can I purchase some bumper moldings with out the marker light. What I mean is there the ones that are completely smooth without a hole. I guess there maybe euro ones. I just need to know where I can buy them for cheap. Thanks

Last time I checked I believe they were going for just under 4 bills. Not sure if that has changed now.
