I want to do this. Where do you get your tint? Shop wants to charge me 300 bucks to do it.

Merry Christmas! I got some clear corner indicators for Christmas. Do I need to buy amber bulbs to make them legal? Or am I ok with just the white bulbs?

EBay has do it yourself kits for $15-30 with lifetime warranty. I did it to my 88 and had little issues besides some user errors since it was my first time doing tint. But even with a few minor flaws it save me hundreds!

You'll love them. I've had mine for a year or so. I recommend getting some yellow lenses for driving in snow and dusty conditions otherwise they will blind you. Btt: I ordered my hid headlights from FST. Chrome housing/ Chrome shroud / no halo.

Those look awesome, where did you get them from??
I see them all over ebay but not with the yellow lens (good for snow).

I got them off eBay I searched for 7" yellow offroad light lens. IIRC they were 20 dollars shipped. So I have the clear clip on covers for most of the time and yellow clip on ones for dusty and snowy conditions
