Not when they are the only thing gold on the car! Plus the High Beam caps are still black, since they don't get used. And FWIW, my PLog is more blue than anything right now...

Do you have amber bulbs or clear bulbs?

wake · Post by **wake** » Thu Nov 24, 2011 3:25 pm

55w amber bulbs iirc

and silverstar ultras in the lows and highs

EDIT: in these pictures they were the stock 35w amber turns but we updated them later that week

Ahhh ok. Idk, I still like the not molested amber housing with regular amber bulbs better.

i agree with some colors it looks good stock, other colors not so much

Actually, I have 55w ambers in the corners, stock Hibeams, and Silverstar Ultra Lowbeams. Which is why my caps faded.

I had to do clear at LEAST on this car, the orange stood out like a highlighter mark on a blank sheet of paper. It was like "Oh, nice white Bonneville, ORANGE! HELLO!"
Same with the rear. IMO, I don't like stock amber lenses on any color 00+. Just my preference.

So now you have a black magic marker on your car

But yes, tomato/tomaaaato, potato/potaaato , still just a car now matter what's done to it. Same reason I went with Chevy Orange paint for my calipers instead of red so it didn't look like Christmas lol.

Not magic marker FTR, heat resistant paint.

I'm going to do my calipers black in spring, they would stand out too much in red, or any other color for that matter.
