    It does look pretty sweet in the front now. I hated having my sidemarkers be the only bit of orange on the car. And I was actually thinking about doing that signal thing with amber LEDs as well. Now it's time to save for those black LED tails and my black/white theme will be complete.

    Btw, what's the best way to get the headlights back together? Try as I might I can't get the lense back in as far as it was before, and could only get a couple of the clips clipped. I'm thinking about just removing all of the factory sealant and only using the clips and gasket, maybe add a little silicon. Bad idea?

    That Might be your best bet, the aftermarket lights are much easier to work with than OEM, but I did do this on my OEM lights some time ago. I used that clear stuff you can find auto parts stores, its in a blue package, it looks like the cooper gasket stuff we use for headers.
