Any of you guys had any experience with aftermarket 240 front turn signal lenses? Fit/finish/appearance/etc?

TIA

Dave S.

    Mine were horrible. They fit fine and looked good, but in a year or less they were as yellow as my headlights. When I take one off, I can still see the old color on the part hidden beneath the trim.

    Mine had more of a greyish tint when new, so I'm sure some are better than others. If you have an '85 or older, consider getting the euro style clear/amber lenses found frequently on ebay. Those look like nice lenses.

    More transparent than Volvo lenses, they look a bit off unless used in pairs and then only a fanatic would notice. They might bug you, if I read you right. Get the real thing, put them on only for special ocassions and use the aftermarkets for every day driving. ;)

      Bob--

      That's probably the most rational approach, but I'm prolly too much of a
      phringer as it is!! "Lessee now, good corner lamps for today or bad ones?"
