Looking at possibilities to mod my car, I'm pretty set on getting rid of the ugly ambers and possibly removing all red too.

As far as I know the only option until now was vcollection. I did a bit of searching and found this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ASTON-MARTIN-DB9-DBS-VANTAGE-RAPIDE-VIRAGE-LED-FRONT-BUMPER-LIGHTS-BLACK-/121201702558?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories &fits=Make%3AAston+Martin&hash=item1c382f369e&vxp= mtr

Apparently they're made by HELIX. I wonder if they have them in clear/white. They have a bad photo in ther facebook page.

Has anyone tried them?

 

I would spray tint the originals

 

Well, then you're left with a black/orange marker that looks nasty...

 

Apply some Lamin-X tinted film over the originals.

 

Those look cheap and cheap. The LED nodes are visible and just look too Kragen.

Are you after clear/crystal or dark/black?

What your car might really like is keep the red tails and markers and add red to your calipers. Looks like you have Tungsten, which is a great color and looks great set off with the red lenses and red calipers. If you go all clear/crystal, you end up in a near monochrome pallet with no accents. Some people like that. It isn't horrible. But I love the way my reds pop, especially the calipers behind the dark wheel spokes. YMMV

 

Interesting (and cheaper!) proposition

I definitely want the ambers out though. I'm adverse to amber

 

I bought the black markers and put them on my DB9. They look great. I posted a thread on installation

 

I just put them on my Vantage S. Perfect fit and a huge improvement over the cheap orange single bulb.

 

I have a set of these, that I'm thinking of installing on my car. I believe Karlfranz has them on his new car also (its where I first saw them).

Honestly they look a little like the headlight LED unit. I do believe they blend well on darker grey and black. I'm not convinced they will look as good on my stratus white.

Truly, the best white markers I've seen are the V Collection ones. However they haven't been in stock for a while

 

Here's what they look like on my car with the lights off and on:

 

Karl your garage floor looks fantastic is it flowed epoxy?

 

^^^^ Thanx. Yes, it is. It makes it so much more pleasant to work in.

 

Thinking on pulling the trigger but the installation difficulty has me at bay... :/

 

Karl,
Those look awesome! Where can I get some?
