NO MORE AMBER LIGHTS IN THE BACK!

I posted some pics in my gallery here and also a quick write-up on making your lenses clear in the back of the RRS...

Enjoy!

It looks very good. I've never thought the amber section looked right. However, it does look like something is missing when you look close. The exposed rear reflector doesn't match the rest of the lamp cluster.
It doesn't look like you have fitted an amber bulb either. Matt

Nice one antics22, now they match your clear side repeaters.

Q. Do they flash amber/yellow still as rear indicators should ?

As for now, they don't, but I am very aware of the laws here in the US, and have some "chrome" amber bulbs on order... When they get here in a couple of days, I plan to replace them so they will flash amber when lit, but look mirror chrome when not...

My side markers have LED wedges in there that flash amber but stay clear when off!

Blackbeast... give me a couple of days to receive them and to try them out first... I cannot yet recommend them since they were fairly "cheap" in the first place... There are more expensive bulbs out there, namely "stealth bulbs" for $25 a pair or something like that, but I found a place that has similar ones for $3 each... I will post pics when I receive them which should be any day now...
