I just modified an amber set with amber LEDs. I've ordered amber LEDs for the clear reflectors I put on my Brickyard.

I don't uderstand---I kinda think LED's and Clear's are Rice--hence Clear Tailights/Led squirters etc,...I'm suprised everyones doing it!!!
I Blacked mine out!!! JDM Z33---All the ones I've seen are Black,..Never seen a JDM Z33 w/ LED's in the damn thing!! But thats just me,.I'll post pic's of the blacked out reflectors and my New HID install soon!

Sorry to ones that have it,..but Everyone can't stand Altezza tails and clear tails and ****,..I guess thats why I'm kinda blown away by them!???????????I don't dig em!

Amber LED's look stock.

No one notices them but me and other Z owners, I've have several Z owners ask me about them though.

"That's how it should be from the factory." is what I get from the majroity.

If LEDs make us rice.

Blacking out makes you thug life.

As long as we like'm funk the rest.

I'll admit they look good.

Just not my style. Looks like a hole there.

Plus they're all on bodykits which are considered ricey by many.

I'll go on and contradict myself though because the INGS with the half spoiler will be on mine in the near future.

Like I said, as long as I like it the rest can kiss my amazingly white bum.

I dont think those are blacked out...there arent any side markers there for the Japanese Market Z33s. Anyone try without the side makers?

Finished up the clear side markers with amber LEDs. Total time to remove, add LEDs and re-install was 4 hours. Everything is soldered and shrink tubed. Also RTV'd the back of the LEDS to make everything waterproof.

dude the white w/ amber looks insanely hot. Isn't it illegal to have them any other color but amber?

I have a post in here a bit farther down or on the next page, they are the same smoked JDM sidemarkers mr fairlady pictured, except on my car in real life with LEDs installed.

I like the LEDs, I do not like white with blue, or white with white, amber with white is fine cause they will be amber anyway. I did smoked with amber, but if I did it again Id use white, the reflectors are orange, and the light from inside will come through as orange.
