    Damn you 3rd GEN'ers are brutal!
    Local autoparts store is closed today, so I will have to get a replacement tomorrow.
    I'm sure they can look up the proper bulb type.

    I am going to see if they have a waterproof bulb(red), that way I can leave the outer red lens off and not worry about re-sealing?
    It will be like a PRO version Alteza. nice....

    Oh, And MERRRY CHRISTMAS!!:dancingbacon::broccoli::bananadance:

    Good plan. Might want to pull the other lens apart too for a matching set. Don't want to look weird back there.

    Kings, 275/70/17, a few custom items, lots of Meso mods.
    I wouldn't put anything by the techs these days. 10yrs ago if you told me I needed to add muffler fluid to my diesel, I would've thought you were nuts. Who knows what they'll come up with next..:goingcrazy:
