Don - I assumed they were silvered or chromed. I couldn't tell if what I was seeing on there was the original coating, or if it had been painted over in the past. Either way, they were both very rough with pitting and peeling. I don't think the original coating could have been saved. I do already have one of the solid state flashers, but it's not on the car right now. Honestly, I think the lights are bright enough for what I need them for. They are really just turn signals after all. The headlights are much brighter and actually light up the road pretty well at night.

acolds - I enjoy seeing improvement on the car, even if it is just a little at a time. The old lenses always bothered me. The new ones were well worth the money.

JWL - Yes, I've run across several threads where white was recommended for the taillights. I debated doing that here, but decided against it because the lenses are clear, and the white showing through would have looked strange.

Howard - Interesting thought on the body wrap. I suppose it may work, or at least is worth a try. Where is that stuff sold?
