    They might be very tough to come by because of a low demand.

    I'd be more interested in aftermarket headlights...maybe ones that give us new bulb options like H4s or dual bulbs. I'm almost debating on making my own custom setup. I saw a harley F150 with a dual bulb headlighht that wasn't a projector. It was a top/bottom 9006 HID low beam / 9005 halogen high beam that really caught my eye.

    As far as I know, no one makes aftermarket tail lamps for our Panther Platform vehicles other than OEM style.

    Try the same black paint the used to paint your car

    I did the nightshades thing first and it was too "light".

    After my Maruader was re-painted the body shop guys painted my tail light leaving only the top two slits open. (Thanks Barry)

    Jet black like the rest of the car

    I also like the CV lenses with the amber turn signals. Anybody know if these would bolt up? I'm guessing the wiring harness is different, since it would probably have two different bulbs, and I'm guessing the Marauder only uses one bulb?

    IMO I think they would bolt up but as you stated a different wire harness. The harness should be no biggie.

    Nope. Two bulbs, with 2 filaments each, as I recall.

    I think the CV lenses might not work. I'm guessingthe park/brake and signal lights are wired differently. Or not.

    To concur....two bulbs per lense is correct.

    It took 2 cans of Niteshades to accomplish this.

    The CV lenses are a direct bolt-in; however, the CV's are four bulb ( versus the MM's two bulb ) so a wiring harness swap / alteration would be involved.

    BTW - The part #s for the black trim CV LX Sport lenses ( with amber turn signal section ) are - 1W7Z-13404-AAA *Right 1W7Z-13405-AAA *Left

    Wiring harness part #s available upon request.

    When you install the yellow blinker light you loose some of the 'blackness'

    It's all a matter of likes/dislikes.................

    Cool

    I used Nite Shades and many coats of clear gloss to tint and protect the 2001 P71 tail lamps and reverse lamps I installed on the Vic. Here are the pics.
