I just received a pair of the euro style amber lenses from coupeguy. They look very nice. It took only about 15 minutes to install them. I trimmed about 6 mm off of the plastic reflector with a dremel cut off wheel and cleaned up with a hand file. They are so much more streamlined looking than the USA variety.

Photo of the Euro and USA version side by side (note my old USA version is a bit on the yellow side). Anyone need a left side USA lens? (SOLD)

How come the profile towards lamp housing looks different? Is it another lamp housing as well?
 
I think it is an optical illusion with the photograph. This other photo shows them to look the same. I no longer have the old ones so I can check the shapes closely. The housings would need to be the same because the body panel shapes are all the same.

i can't imagine how big the real USA versions are. i bought a set of the italian ones from coupeguy ... thinking the ones on my coupe were big. low and behold, i had euro amber ones on the coupe already. i do like the italian style ones. they are cool.
