You like white too? I love a white car. I have had many white cars.
I like a really stark white. Not like the white on a chevy but bright like the white on a BMW.
I don't care for that utility white either. Mine has a blue hue to it. Its like an ice cycle glistening in the sun.

Are these lights the same as the orange color lenses (side marker) lights on our bumpers?

I don't think seat cushions are anything like lights

yes the turn signals are direct fit... but what will you do about the orange sidemarkers?

i just wanted the orange ones to be a different color. I dont want to change the blinkers just the orange lights on the lower part of the bumper to the smokey ones.

so that link must be for signals and not the side marker lights i want...... ok ok ok...

I think you're confused. The smoked signals you linked too are the two bigger yellow lights on the front... those are the signals. The purely oval ones on the side of the car are just running lights.

im not confused.... i just asked if those would fit the lights i want to change.
But.... as i have learned... they are to big cuz they are for a totally different set of lights
on the car then what i was looking for them to be. So i will have to find that set of lights
im looking for in another color if its avaiable. I guess what i want cant be changed to
anything other then the orange, red or clear? Can i put lenses in the clear? If i replace
the orange side marker lights with clear and put some smoked out lense inside....
ohhhhhhhhhhhhh that would look cooooooooooooool.

You could paint them translucent white, so they'd be white smoked. There's a product called "Pactra Racing Finish" that's made for hobbyists that comes in all colors. I've done silver on all my RV marker lights, and it turned out awesome.

I orderd a new gas tank and thanks to Joe who had a like new distributor sitting around,
im on my to getting the white GS back on the road. I will have to replace the fuel pump
again when i put the gas tank on... but i have got quite good at doing the fuel pump in little to no time.
Heck, it takes longer getting the seat back in then to get the pump out. LOL
I hope that stops the car from it's right turn die problem. If not.... i havent a clue what else to try.

Looks AWESOME! I'm debating if I want to tackle interior or exterior first on mine. She's white, but could definitely use a fresh coat of paint.
