i checked already and the front amber lense is the EXACT size as the rear red lense but it wont be interchangeable without some trimming. needless to say if you want the amber to fit the rear then you need to trim the rear and vice versa. i ordered it and will be trimming the rear since i got the front ones at the same time tapping the wires so that they will light up when i turn my parking lights on unlike the stock red lense wherein they are only used merely as a reflector.Last edited by beetle_orange; 04-01-2005, 08:14 PM.

So did you cut into the rear bumper with a dremel/other tool or did you trim the clear reflectors so they no longer had a bulb socket like what I did.
I've got another set of clear light and I'm thinking of cutting out a section of the bumper so I don't have to trim a big chunk of the clear reflectors.ED

i trimmed the bumper with a steel saw and a cutting knife, had to do with what i have. i didnt touch the clear lights cuz i was thinking of adding the socket to make them light up at night. i was in my local JY and got an extra bulb socket and will see if it'll work. since you have done this already did you notice that there is a piece of metal that is very close to the housing, that is why i am afraid that i wont be able to add the bulb socket because there is not enough room unless i grind that piece of metal.
