lol the bulb... umm dunno what you guys have for automotive stores in the US, but probably any automotive based store... it's a pretty common bulb. I'm sure if you went to like NAPA or whatever and asked for an orange 3157 bulb. or just buy these or similar and I'll reimburse you: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/3157-...Q5fAccessories

Red wire with brown wire and black wire with black wire. Be sure to post pics... your current set looks very nice as well
yup those are the ones, thanks, easy enough.

this is how they used to look



its just acrylic that was heated up and melted over the entire thing...then you just cut away the access pieces. it used to be chrome but then it turned yellow so I had to paint it black.

i didn't do my retro though, Izn Trbl did...I'm lookin to do my own though.

Thanks jeff

@SS07 - Thanks man... but all I can say is wait to see what I have coming in the next few weeks My personal set is nearing completion and it's gonna be ****!

@ion - yeah those did remind me of IZN TRBL's work... they look good, even better black imo. I'm starting to play around with vacuum abs molds and such to do cool things like that.
