Default Installed Exports and Amber Markers

Swapped out my factory side markers and tail lights this morning with amber side markers and export tails. Here's some before, during, and after pictures.

Mind telling me where you got the amber side markers from? I put exports on my wife's SOM last year, and think that the amber side markers would complete the rear end. Those look great.

You can get 98+ firebird front side markers, they're amber and the same size as camaro rear markers. I did the opposite and put the red camaro markers on my Trans am to get rid of the amber.

They are export lights that went on Camaro's that were sold overseas. They come up for sale every once in a while and you can find them on here in the classifieds or on ebay.

There was a pair up for $300 coming from Dubai that looked absolutely beat but any good condition pair will be $400 plus.

Glad I found mine local, and for a great price. Just have to keep your eyes peeled, and get them as soon as you see them.

Stealth, the amber side markers really make a big difference because they help tie the front marker lights and the tails together.

well, I scored a set from out of Japan. they are used and looked to be in great condition. set me back slightly over 4 bills with shipping and all. my marker lights are all tinted so no worry on those. I think they are awesome taillights and I took the advice," if you see'em you better get'em !"
