Today was spent taking the front lights apart to remove the orange indicator lens. I replaced the bulbs with chrome/orange and the park lights with 9-led's which are much brighter.
Before and after photos!!
A job well done, i used the misses hairdryer to warm the sealant then gently prized them apart, keeping the hairdryer running!! All good, will add some night shots up later!!

Looks good! Also, never seen a Laguna Blue NA in NZ before? Thought it was an American only colour or are there a rare few here?

The chrome amber build was from Supercheap, the pins where slightly off-set so just filed one off to make it fit the plug. LED Sidelights were also from there. Yo can buy cheaper from the net, but it was one of those couldn't wait things i wanted to do.

Not sure on the colour, better photos to come, only if it would stop raining as had planned a photo day today

Nice job!
Will have to take mine off and copy at some point. Always updates a car to 'de-tango' it
