Clear Corners? Blacked Out Headlights?

Hi, I stumbled onto these forums while looking around for parts for my 8. I just recently bought a 2004 Black RX8 w/ the black and red leather int. I went ahead and bought a custom wing, put wheels and tires on it, and tinted the windows.

Now I would like to remove the stock orange corners and install clear corners, obviously I'm going to need a new clear bulb. Any suggestions on where to get these from? I've found that some don't come with bulbs or sockets for that matter. I would really like to get something that is easy to install, as I am not the mechanic type.

Also I'd really be interested in darkening my head light lenses. Basically I'm again asking where I could find these and what it takes to do it. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

IMO clear markers are too bright on a black car. Looks good on red, white, and blue, but not the darker colors.

If you black out your headlights, it would be a good idea to do the side markers also. It would look odd having only that little bit w/ clear strip....of course, JMHO.

I would recommend getting the bluebatmobile tint. I put those on my headlights. I would never spray the front lights because I know someday a pig will get on my case and make me remove them. I'd much rather just have to peel some film off than buy a whole new light.
