look great, gj. im still waiting to do mine. :)

leave them in the oven for 10-15 minutes, it will make the job sooooooooooooooo much easier.

and then when your cleaning off the old silicon put them back in the oven and it will just peel right off with a screwdriver

Welcome to the club, tenny ! :thumb: Looks great !

did mine a few weeks ago, i love the black bezel i did it too it looks soo sexy. did you just use amber 194 bulbs, cause thats what i got stuck with and i think it looks bad. i tried to find some oil coated ones that light amber but no one has em so if neone know a website for em post it up.

[tenny]

ya thats what I used, I dont really know what they look like yet because by the time I got to the store to buy them it was dark so I put them in but cant really see them very well in the dark.

my bezel actually isnt really a true black, but you cant tell from the pics. it's a charcoal textured metalic paint by duplicolor. It was really easy to put it on, I used it because I figured a couple of those spots would be hard to paint and this stuff will stick to anythin and dries in 10 minutes.

now you gotta head over to home depot and pickup some gutter guard to put in your bumper holes. Lites look good btw.

Here ya go, alerored04: These are the LED 194's I bought from Autozone. They're white/clear when they're not lit, then light up amber. They can be found HERE (http://www.jamstrait.com/194s.htm) aswell. ( FYI, I payed like $6.00 for the pair )

Hope this helps ya man. :cool:

not really a fan of the gutter guard stuff, I may tint the tail lights, not sure if that would look good on a white car though. Only other things I want to do is pain thte stock rims gunmetal and tint the windows.

[alerored04]

Thanks much yb i just ordered em. i appreciate it greatly.

[alerosport.com]

which ones do you have YB and what ones did you order alerored04

[aleroguy83]

ok, first off i love the lights, they look great.
secondly, what paint did you use exactly because i tried to clear one of my extra lights and when i went to paint it, my paint keeps fading on the plastic and not staying dark. any help would be great.

Ash, I've got the top-most ones on that page I posted, but to be honest, I wouldn't mind trying a set of the "wider beamed" leds found lower on the page. The ones I have look great, but they don't fill the "chamber" up with light like a bulb would. Although that may partly be because of the black paint, I still wouldn't mind a little more light in there. The ones I have DO look nice from a distance when lit though, so I'm thinking no matter which ones you get, they'll be just fine in terms of light.

[alerored04]

those are the same that i just ordered

[tenny]

i think I am going to order some of those, the ones I got dont light up much, also probably because of the black paint.

[alerored04]

thats what i found, thats why i needed to buy new ones.

[freakout]

I put blue bulbs in for the park and clearence light, pretty sure it is illegal. Still experimenting trying to find blue bulbs that match, bought 194 & 3157 made by the same company and they are different colour. Tried leds and wasn't happy with the way it lit up.I didn't paint mine I like the clear look.

[Alero04]

im sooooo happy we dont need those ugly orange blinkers here!
im with u on liking the clear look...i wont paint mine either

[tenny]

freakout I think I saw you, or at least your car today by the clarion hotel. I noticed the blue alero with cleared headlights, it looks sharp.

[Sno]

lookin good :thumb: i have yet to clear my corners and paint my bezels black, looks sharp though

[freakout]

Ya man probably, Wife dropped me off in Belleville I went to Quebec City that day. I had intended to go with blue bulbs off the start and no painted bezels. As long as it not a driving infraction I could care less if there illegal, unfortunately my wife doesn't always agree. But she likes them, so they can stay. B)
