Thanks Amy!
Scott, I PM'ed you again. Sorry about the full inbox, I cleared a lot of it out so it should be good to go through now.

Thanks, yeah I like the clear side marker pair that I finished and am sticking with those for myself. I do have the blacked out pair, still apart, but it sounds like I am redoing that pair for Scott (SSilver), going back to the clear side marker and doing a silver bezel to match his car.
Bit of an update. I now have both pair of Stealth turn signal (#3157) and side indicator (#194) bulbs. The turn signal bulbs were ordered from ebay and the side indicators directly from Stealth; took like a week-and-a-half to receive the turn signal bulbs (through USPS) but only three days for the side indicator bulbs. I got those bulbs installed in the housings earlier this morning and will work on installing the headlight assemblies in the car later this evening so I can adjust the aiming of the beam if necessary.
More pictures later.
Thank you Greg (ZIPPY02) for the links to the bulbs.
3157's top, 194's bottom.


And installed in the headlight assembly.

Thanks guys. It's coming together slowly but they will be installed soon.
The weatherstrip supplied with these headlights for the upper seal is junk, and isn't the best style for it's intended purpose, so I ordered some 23/64" wide D profile EPDM weatherstrip. Auto parts stores don't carry this exact product. Hardware stores have this exact product but only stock brown and white, so I had to resort to ordering black online.

Actually this style is almost identical to what was used for the weatherstrip on the stock headlights.
