Ok first off hellow all, I have a QT for any one here that may know of what I'm looking for. I'm trying to keep my Accord looking much the way I got it. It's was used when I got it.
An I got hit in the rear some days ago., so If the body guys don't switch out my aftermarkit side marker lights and covers, I just may have to find some new ones. Now the light bulbs look funny there blue and once there come on they turn clear or white. See here in my photos.

Next QT-Question about the turning signal bulbs. The ones in my car have this weard looking color swirl covering the glass of the bulb. and once the light is on, it turns amber and they have a lime green hallow around the amber color, but the bulb looks clear. I would love to know where the guy that had this car before me got this stuff.
I lost the photo of the bulbs pulled bet here that are back in and on.

QT4. About that long tail-light across the rear of the 98' Acc. My backing lights turn realy light green but is not because the bulbs are green this guy has some type on light clear green lines in them.

An some comments about my car. :confused: A Vtech V6. When I had the car over at the local Honda Dealer, to get some things fixed the guy asked where did I get this car?, so I told thim. As the guy said there no V6 Vtech. I had no comments to tell him so they Dynoed my car and told me that my car has way to much torque and HP for this type of car. Don't ask me I said it was what was on that lot for a low price. Oh and I have bean to the DMV here to check to see if the car was stolen. NOP! Well any way the guy told me that the car is set on a high level :confused: and the guy that had the car before me must have ran the car a lot for the engine mounts to both be broken. Yes both front and rear mounting bolts "snafooed".

The guys at honda also told me that he could tell that the car had a different exhaust system at one time but It looks as if the Original parts had bean put back on. I do still have the rear adjustable koni shocks on and one last thing.
What are these things on the hood cover for?

Oh yeah the car came with a full Alpine system: Small door dome tweeters up near the door handels and two two-ways in the lower par of the doors, two 6X9s in the rear, an the AC cabels ran to the back to some thing big. Long as I still have the fuse bulbs and cords and AC cabels. I can add my ban-pass sub box and amps from my old 95 Acc that I recked. I'm building a model on that old Acc, as I don't have any photos of it.

The car has obviously been modified and driven hard, then someone put some of the stock equipment back on, some of it poorly.
Those sidemarkers are aftermarket and borderline illegal (depending on the exact wording of the law in your state).

If you don't want the body guys to take your lights, just take them off first. As far as the color of the bulb and the light, its all about technology. Honestly, light bulb companies do that to make people like you say "oooh, ahhh". They are just chromate coatings on the glass that modify the color of the light coming from the filament.
The things on the bra are wind foils. Without them the cover would flap around in the wind like a loose tarp.
Some of the V6s in those years had up to 300 hp... and dealers don't have dynos, so you're full of crap on that one :) There is no such thing as "turning up" an engine. You can retune it for a few more HP, but there isn't a magic hidden knob that doubles HP. Engines are air pumps. Period. You can't magically make them super-cars with a light bulb, a sticker, or a screwdriver. It is however very evident that the V6 is NOT a Vtec. First of all, because they didn't make them, and second of all, that Vtec emblem is from a 94-97 Honda. Different font. Someone put a Vtec emblem on your engine.
Interior lights can be just white or red and white together, but DOT regulations prohibit them from being just red. White is for your convenience, red is to use as a sidemarker when the door is open, but having JUST red is confusing to drivers behind you in the dark when you open the door.
