It works fine, it's just purely for aesthetic reasons. I just hate the egg yolk look. I'd rather replace it with an amber LED bulb or, worst case, a chrome covered amber bulb.
For the most part surrounds are surrounds... Pretty much all will degrade in a hot car after 20+ years.
If they don't list them directly, you can get measurements of the surrounds (inner and outer diameter, etc) and match them up with the generic surrounds they sell.
If the surrounds are crumbling at all the sound is going to be terrible. It's HIGHLY likely that the foam has turned to dust on most car speakers after 20 years, but you'd have to look at them to know for sure.

I was replacing the bulb for my brake/running lights today and I noticed that the egg yolk turn signal is just a cap inside the turn signal assembly. If it were separated, you could simply unscrew it and remove it but it is, of course, sealed shut. Instead of cracking it open, would it be...
Hello all,
At first glance I THOUGHT my CV boot was split and the grease was being thrown out of a crack or hole in the boot. Upon further discovery, the boot seems fine, but it could be seeping past the band clamp. Also the grease is a milky white consistency, is that normal? If it IS...
Hello all,
A bit over a year ago I was in an accident that messed up the front end of my 1996 LX450. A large truck ran a red light and hit the driver side fender and bumper. The fender and flare are wrecked, as is the bumper and all the LX specific parts like the headlights, grill, and turn...
