I would love to do this to my Gen 3s but I haven't seen it done.

Has anyone done this before? Does anyone know the size of the CCFLs needed for the Gen 3s?

they fog at times (more so on the passenger side then the drivers by far) the clear coat is peeling on the drivers both turn signals bulbs are shitty and light output sorta sucks. i think the connections were getting rusty but i disconnected and reconnected both of the plugs and no problems since

id like to start over from scratch with a new pair BUT i know i dont have as much time as before (plus the LBM paint was 75 for a pint)

A few things to add.. If u order through retro solution website it's 35 shipped per set .. And on the 90 mm you don't have to cut the clips they don't come with them anymore
