Seems like an easy project... one question... do you guys like the OEM lights or the aftermarket that iPd sells?

I kind of like the smoother look of the aftermarket ones.

Any experience here? Or photos?

 

What aftermarket ones are you talking about? Everything on there is OEM.

And look in the for sale section on VS for sidemarkers, you can usually find them for about 40 shipped.

 

Oh, I thought the short knubby ones were OEM and the longer ones were aftermarket.

 

No, the longer ones are P2. Sidemarkers always pop up on VS, look there for them.

 

What does P2 mean? (Sorry if that's a silly question.)

 

phase 2. (2001+)

 

I got mine off a junkyard car. Since the chick at the yard knows me (because im in there all the time) she didnt even charge me for them.

 

Oh sure . . . brag about a great junkyard but don't tell anyone where it is!

 

I have a couple around me: LKQ in South Bend, IN, almost ALWAYS has a volvo or two there, plus theres indiana auto salvage, also in South Bend. Thats where the white 1997 850 was that i got the perfect condition cupholder out of for 5 bucks. A buddy of mine got the fog lights off of it for 10 bucks, and they had a CD changer in it that they wanted 25 for.
