It is perfect fit and took 15 seconds to took the old one out and remove the bulb and put it in the new one. Both of them took me 2 mins or less.

Btw, I was stupid enough not to take a look eBay first before I ordered this, maybe I have been looking for a long while, anyway I do see eBay has excatly the same thing for under $60 now!

Go for it you will like it.

What kind of bulbs did you use? The SilverVision (amber bulb with silver/white coating)... can you tell me the size/type and the brand (Philips?)
Thanks.

No, I did not change the bulb. I just put the original bulb/housing back to this clear lens. When I was young, I played a lot of those bulbs and they just keep burning therefore I try not to touch it unless it makes a huge different.

So, are the corner/marker bulbs in amber? If so, wouldn't you have the "egg yolk" effect? If they are not in amber, then I assume they are clear... would it look a bit rice at night with the bright white side marker blinking?

Yes, it has the amber bulb in my car now. When I turn on at light it is brighter due to clear vs amber before.

No, they are not silver coated, but next to a Amber bulb they are much lighter in color. Thanks

No tools need. I just use my hand and hold both end and pull it out. You will feel move around when you apply force to the old lens and don't worry just pull it out. When the lens out, just screw out the old buld and put it in the new one and put the new clear lens back and you are all set.

The clear lenses look nice....Another alternative would be the painted ones.
