Since most replace the pumpkins with the clears, I thought I would ask if anyone has a spare set of the pumpkin side lights (not the whole assembly, just the plastic reflector on each side) they may want to sell?

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hello,
My state requires the OEM side/fender pumpkin lights. I have the clear on there now, which I plan on keeping.
Since most replace the pumpkins with the clears, I thought I would ask if anyone has a spare set of the pumpkin side lights (not the whole assembly, just the plastic reflector on each side) they may want to sell? PM me if so.
Thanks,
Todd

P.S. Right now, to get through inspection, I have a couple of self-adhesed Pep Boy specials on there! Stick about 2" off of the fender. You all would love it.
Thanks all.
DMV said the side light has to be reflective, which apparently the clear is not. They even said I could buy reflective tape at Pep Boys and that would be fine, so I don't think its the bulb that is the issue.
They also said that the state cut all salaries 2.5% this year, and the police are looking for the clear side markers (probably looking more so for on hondas, toyotas, not to be presumptive) for revenue.
The large reflective Pep Boys specials I have on there are a trip! I would probably be banned from Rennlist. But I finally got a "PASS" at DMV though!
So I am looking for a pair of pumpkins to buy. I also had to install the amber rear turn signal bulbs and rip off my side window tint (which I knew and did before going to the inspection lane). So $4 for the scraper (for the tint and glue) and $4 for the amber bulbs and $3 for the reflective side markers. OBDII was fine, so for $11 I passed inspection!
They tried to say I had "Rainbow Headlights," which are illegal too. But I objected to that, saying they were perfectly white headlights (I thought the old timer was crazy!). Then other DMV employees came over and agreed with me that they were white, so I got a pass on the headlights.
So now all legal!
Thanks,
Todd
I have stock ones in good shape, wanna swap? Or you just want them?
Ed
PM me your address and I will mail them to you for free!
Note to self - EWE on DE DMV !!!
Wonder if putting some 3M reflective tape under the clears would constitute "reflective"? The cool thing is that the 'silver' 3M tape is about the same color as the clears, so you would not even see it unless a headlight shone on it. Hmmmm...

Pictures! Pictures! It's Friday, we all need a laugh
Wow, I can't believe DE is cracking down that way. I have seen some reall POS drive through the inspection lanes thinking, "this should be good" only to see them breeze right through.
Glad your legal.
Thanks All - have a set on the way now.
I will take a pic of the reflectors. Hope they come off easily!
I'm all tagged and legal now, and headed out for a drive around town...
