Default Just bought a TA, where's all the aftermarket bumper lights?

My 01 TA's bumper lights are looking pretty white and old so I thought I would go pick up a new set of clears on ebay but can't find anyone out there that offers an aftermarket version of these Did I miss the bus on this one? I'm really puzzled as to why no one currently makes these.

I'm not sure what youre looking for man because they are all over ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=350179700542

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=150333066033

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=130290365057

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=230329344178

Maybe these are not what you are looking for but a simple search for "TransAM lights" from the ebay home page brought up 1000s of results.............

I think he's referring to the front bumper turn signal lights (which also run as DRLs)

What you've found is the fog lights, I am looking for the parking (bumper) lights. I've been searching for the past couple of days with no luck, or very spotty posts.

If your talking about the DRL/parking lights that are directly in front of the car (above the duct) those are clear, what makes them amber is the bulb.

Interesting! I was unaware of this... I thought the coloring was derived from the back of the housing from a reflector... Guess I never really looked close enough!

in front of the tires there are access panels, just remove the bolts and the flaps open down
