thanks, lol finally someone mentioned the whole point of the thread. yeah they were factory amber sidemarkers. mine had the nismo clear sidemarkers and now John brought me an extra set of the nismo smoked sidemarkers he had sitting around.
I agree it looks much cleaner, I wasnt too sure about changing them but as soon as I put them on it just blended in so much better. Maybe also because when I bought the car it had the stock front and clear front corner lenses where as my 99 front has the smoke so it matches again.
