city lights are little bulbs inside the housing. about the size of a sidemarker bulb or dome light. useless if you ask me. look at last gen preludes see what they are.

westcoast. how much you charge to paint a set for me if I sent em to you? your probably pro right now. also I was thinking if you covered the part right around the turn signal with masking tape it'd keep it from being darkened and come off real easy without damaging the chrome.

I don't have any lude pics.. sorry. I don't even have any friends that have one so I can't convince them to be my ginny pig. :chuckles:

Glad this is still working out for everyone.

Keep those pics coming fellas! They're looking very sweet.
