Headlights:
There are several companies that make conversion kits for our cars so that we can use H4 or HID bulbs. Some can be found at Walmart, Pepboys, Autozone, etc. Try to find ones that use glass lenses as they will last the longest. One of our members(Oldschoolswap) also sells a Projection headlight conversion. Please PM him for details.

Front turn signals:
Clear front turn signals - www.procarparts.com
The 88-89 signals can also be dissassembled (http://209.151.81.66/showthread.php?t=104) and the orange reflector in them can be removed to make the lenses clear. Smoking the lenses is also an option using VHT Nightshades or a similar product.

Side turn signals:
The only non-custom option is JDM corners. Currently i am not aware of any members that can order these. There are also a couple members making and selling custom clear corners. Please read the marketplace (http://209.151.81.66/forumdisplay.php?f=18) section to find them. You can also use VHT Night shades to smoke the corners.
Update: PCP now makes clear corners for our car. YOu can find them on ebay or buy them directly from there store at www.procarparts.com

Tailights
The only non-custom option is JDM tailights, if you wish to use the JDM lights and you have an 88-89 you must install an 86-87 trunk lid, the JDM lights will not fit a hatch. Everything else needs to be custom fabricated or painted. You can use VHT Nightshades to smoke them or Testors Translucent Candy Apply Red Model paint to
make the red part orange. (http://209.151.81.66/showthread.php?t=187)

If anyone has any decent examples of any of these items please post them in here. Hopefully we'll get examples of everthing and then get this thread stickied. Of course if I missed somthing please let me know.

This should be a sticky. Or a FAQ, or even both. Good work Jim.

Example of all red tails. My car has them (the white one on the left). They look a little dark in the pic.

Actually if you have the hatch the JDM tailights will not fit. Hatch tails are unique.

Can we clear something else up?

If you VHT Nightshade your from sidemarkers, do you have to install another orange sidemarker? I'm asking because I know it will shine through the Nightshade, but I see lots of vehicles with Nightshade and a sidemarker somewhere else on the fender.

If you do need another sidemarker in this case, does it need to be a light, or can it just be a reflector?

I've had no hassles with Police regarding this set up to date too. I'm looking for JDM Side Markers though for a different look though.

So where and what brand of clear do I get? I got the VHT Nite-shades at Mopac. Krylon is what I've deducted that I need, but what are some stores that would sell that?

Thats a good effort with those tails. I think I would stick to the stock tho, unless I were to nite shade them. I ended up finding this clear stuff at Walmart, I still don't know if I got the exactly right stuff, it says Krylon on it and it is clear. I probably won't know for a while because all projects are stopped since I think I will be selling the 3g soon...
