Your probley not getting too many responces cause this question has been aske a few times........not to worry!


No the Rx-7 lenes don't fit perfectly,
The eclipse ones don't fit perfectly ither.


I say wait till someone bring out a lens for
our car. their is one out right now but it's
going for 150$....a cheaper one i'm sure is just
down the road

The newer P5s do not have clear bumper lights they have clear side marker lights like a VW. Just under the mirror.

For Clarification:

The ORANGE light infront of the tire is the side marker light.

The CLEAR light behind and above the tire is the side turn signal light.

I call the orange light infront of the front tire a "bumper lense" and not a side marker light. http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

Actually,

Any light that is on the side of your vehicle that stays on constantly is called a "marker light". These lights originated on tractor trailers and eventually made the conversion over to cars. By law trailers of a certain length were required to have extra lighting so that they were easier to see!
As usually the car industry tries to change how things are referred to so that it seems they came up with the idea......it get really irritating for us truck drivers!
