Awesome! Can't wait to see it. I'm thinking anything is better than the huge orange ones.

Just a quick update for everyone waiting for these.

I am finalizing the last couple steps and am hoping to have the very first finished product this weekend.

They are going to look great! Clear lenses, slimmer profile, polyurethane plastic.

I gotta work on getting some wholesale bulb replacements.

I need to know. What are people going to prefer? The Kizashi has normal incandescent bulbs. Do people just want to just use those or do you all want orange bulbs? or do you want like bright white?

I know personally i am going to change mine to bright white.

I'm REALLY pushing to have these by Christmas as i think it could be a great gift!

Well, there's kind of a law about those things in the US, in case you care.
Standard No. 108

The front ones are supposed to be amber. The lenses can be clear, though!

Yeah I'm sure it's a requirement. Most of the time it's not a big deal but I suppose I should just include some amber bulbs with the kit. Although the regular bulbs might suffice for most.

When I did the clear corners on my old car, I purchased bulbs from my local pep boys auto store that were chrome/silver, but turned to amber when in use.

Yes I was thinking those type. They would make everything look extra clean. Not sure if it's worth the price difference though.

some state's vehicle inspection codes may require them to be amber colored.

I'm pretty sure that in PA specifically they just have to light up amber. In reality they probably don't need to light up at all, as they're not required lights.
