Crystal Smoke Reverse Lights?

[btrain1]

Ok so I have the ebay corner markers like these:
And I was wondering where I could get some for the reverse. The whole car has a red/black kinda scheme, original I know =P, and the old reverse light really look like shit in the back. Please dont @ the car I am trying. Thanks

Nobody makes aftermarket reverse lights for DSM's. Your best bet is to polish the yellowing off the lense and lightly tint it with VHT Nightshades. Of just tint them black with Nightshades.

You could always smoke the lenses with nightshade, thats what i did and the lights still light up good when you throw it in reverse.

Wow that was fast thanks guys. Had no idea about the paint, this is the first car I have ever bothered to "fix up".

Kinda funny because I paid 2k for it just as a shitty DD, in the past 6 months I ended up completly redoing the interior, new black carpet, shift boot and ebrake boot from redlinegoods.com [which is an awesome company btw], I had the headliner redone in black and installed kickers all around. Replaced almost every broken bit in it I have been able to find. And even got leather split rear seats from a 99 to replace the tan cloth bench seats.

I think what got me was after discovering it was a flood car and had some major rotting [most of it I have fixed] I just wanted to save the thing because I am damn sure it would have ended up in a junkyard. So while I've wasted 5k in parts and labor restoring a NA that is worth 1.8k resell I really don't feel like it was a waste because I honestly love the mfking car. It's like a family dog to me now.

Got the NA because of the reliability and I don't really want to haul ass in it, I did that once before and wrecked my 300zx. Looks fast though.

Not sure why this turned into my DSM life-story? But there it is so far.

Oh yeah I still got the LMS? Wheels on it because when I get my head rebuilt and cammed later this summer, I am going to get some nice gunmetal sr6s, I love how they look.

DSM's kind of have that effect on people. My first was a 95 Talon ESi that was supposed to be a DD as well. It ended up with about $10k in it and never seeing a rainy day, or snow in my posession.

Spray tint.

I'm in the same boat as you. Figured I'd get an Eclipse as sexy looking DD, only to get sucked in a love affair with my car.

Bought my DSM because I was young and the car only had 30k miles on it because it sat in a garage for 5 years. +$10k and 5 years later I'm still driving it and throwing money at it :/ it never ends with DSM's. once they suck you in your stuck ### you'll never get back what it's worth so you don't sell it.
