Hello America!!!
i can see that it's a very common modification on your car in the U.s. to go from the
orange or red color for the side lamp, to clear/crystal color instead.
which in most cases makes it look much nicer.
as i have a Sport Edition model of the Beetle which is the same exterior body kit as the Turbo S, i also want to change my side orange lights to those crystal ones for 2 reasons.
first: my car's color is silver
so silver+orange= not really good
second reason: when i drive fast (or not) on the motorway here in France at night, i don't want people to be able to recognise my car from behind thanks to those bloody orange lights!!!
whether they are cops lack of money, so they want to give you a fine
or
some not very clever people that for some reason decided to race with you and never let go, just because you have a nice bug and they're jealous..... yep lots of jealous people over here.....
so i really want to get those crystal plastic parts ASAP!!!! and i'll add red bulbs inside so all the lights are red at night.
the thing is: apart from that Japanese web site, which is VERY expensive ( 153 € euros for the 4 crystal parts!!), i have no idea where else to find this accessory .....
so if anyone can help me to find or already knows a cheaper/better place to buy them, i'd be so thankful
greetings from Europe
and have lots of fun with your beetle
