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.

Heres how mine turned out. I used Rust-Oleum anodized bronze #7754. :thumbup:

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. :D
