I can see clearly now.

Okay, fine. These lights aren't the ones that make me see. Although they do light up alongside the headlights..... But anyway, yeah. Minimal amber for maximum coolness. Now all I need to do is get some orange bulbs.

Get orange LEDs (and perhaps a resistor or two); lasts forever and looks great in any car. :)

Yep, I'm going to get LEDs most likely. I'll end up with them all around once the other lights need replacing.

And is it usually necessary to get resistors? I'd hate to skip out on them and then break something, but I'd also hate to just make them dim for no reason.

The mudflaps are in the mail right now! :D Seriously. I'm most likely going to go for stock Miata or Mini wheels, though, since they're a perfect fit without any adjustments at all. But fog lights are coming in the near future, too, once I decide on where to mount them.

do a modern-ish version of this. You can get the plastidip in these colors. A bit of tape and some patience...

And refer to the mounting locations of lights. Do that.

If it ever gets a livery, I think I'm going to go with this one.

But then again, that does look amazing...

It really depends on the car and the LEDs. The resistors should keep the turn indicators from hyper-flashing. And poorly designed LEDs won't last very long without a resistor.

Though again, your mileage may vary. Outside of recommending you to Super Bright LEDs (because that's where people have told me to go) I'm not sure how to direct you. :(

Wow! That is a seriously clean Escort.

Nice ride!

Thanks! It's definitely not quite as clean as the pictures make it seem, but yeah. Most of these are 70% rust at this point, so by comparison this might be one of the best ones out there.
