You have to admit, the same post on 5 old threads is a bit excessive. As Diesel Spider suggested, some new information on where you sourced your lights and how you installed them would at least provide some new valuable information.
You should also remember, the is a very collaborative forum with a lot of great folks and some point, you might want some help. Turning down the attitude will help a lot in this regard.

I'm sorry - you think I had the attitude? I can't think of anything more arrogant that telling someone where/how they should post. Wait, I can think of something more arrogant - telling someone what their attitude is.

These forums exist so people can compare their work and ask each other about things they are interested in - not everyone is going to visit every forum, so not everyone is going to see every post. Someone wants to know about where I source parts, they can ask like an adult - instead of thinking they are entitled to opine on what others should do like pissy children!

Whatever. I've been on this Forum for 6 years and you've been here for about a month. I was simply trying to provide a bit of friendly advice based on my experience. However, you just carry on...

Bringing back Zombie threads repetitively with the same post is confusing and more likely to just be ignored. If you want to start an intellectual discussion that can be followed then your best off limiting it to one or two targeted threads which is simply good forum etiquette otherwise you may appear to be just a troll which I am hoping was not your intention. It was just a suggestion and fatherly advice from an elderly gent.

If you get too over the top about this you may find those that will just filter your ID out so they no longer see your posts. This is not a threat of any kind just stating the obvious.

Where are the lights from?

Clear looks clean, but I'm thinking I'd like Amber.

I have similar bumperettes, got them from an Alfa parts guy. They need work, but I could not pass them up.

I'm holding off on more work unless I have the lights settled. Canadian Tire has options, but my electrical skills are toggle switch on, toggle switch off....

Actually, have another question, can the existing lights be fitted? Anyone try?
