9 grams a nut ( double ), 4 per wheel, so you've saved yourself 9x4x4 = 144 grams
Mind you, every gram counts. Just don't eat any cheeseburgers before going on the track to undo the lighter nuts.

Wun 911 you have been provided with turn signals moulded with clear acrylic as opposed to amber. In all likelihood the lenses are moulded from the same injection moulding die. The appearance to others when your turn indicators are activated is always amber and with the clear lenses this is achieved by an amber bulb sitting behind the lense. The lense optics will dissipate the light so that the light emitted complies with regulations. Most of these type of turn indicators use 12 5w wedge bulbs and these are available in amber and clear.
Insofar as the appearance is concerned this all a matter of taste and fashion. Lighting was once described to me as \"jewellery\". I think that is an apt description. You will probably notice that model updates frequently feature changes to headlamps and tailights and whilst it is still expensive to tool up it does give the vehicle a different look.
Nevertheless bear in mind that OEM lamps are strictly made to comply with all regulations and with good quality plastics. Some of the aftermarket products are rubbish and plastics are inferior. Many Commodore's are getting around with faded aftermarket rear lamps because the plastic has poor UV resistance.

LOL
Are you for real?

1. He bought them to replace the OEM orange lenses
2. They are I.L. Motorsports product, a German company with a very good reputation for quality. FYI

[Mr Morlock]

Alfadog- which bit do you have a problem with? Have I chosen the wrong word(s) to give either misleading or incorrect information?

[Alfadog]

Nope, you're totally correct. I just thought you might have been joking being so verbose!

[wun911]

I plan to use the jewls to attact the attiontion of nubile females. However to achieve this I need to make my jewls twinkle at my command. If you help me you will be looked upon favourably in my eys for eternity.

[Okibi]

So gonna put strobes behind them?

[Mr Morlock]

Alfa dog you are right- I am verbose at times and I talk to much as well. Hope I did not give offence in any way- cheers

[wun911]

I vampire tapped the the wires from the round side indicators.
