Exclamation Clear Corners Anyone?

I want to change the head light's turn signals from amber to "white", any suggestion on products?

Good luck finding a member willing to sell you their's. A company call Ricks or something used to make the diffuers but they quit. It also requires you to split and reseal your lights. Sorry but the only thing you can probably do now is simply just remove the amber.

Not true at all to what is said above. It was one of the first mods I did because that amber looked terrible with the HIDs.

Just go to your local aftermarket shop and tell them what car you have and I believe there's a PIAA bulb, or some sort of Japanese company that will fit for your car. The bulb is blue, but it produces a really nice hyper white turn signal, they shouldn't be more than $15-20 for the pair.

Anyway, after that, you just need to go into your headlight assembly from the mud guard in your wheel-well and remove the stock amber bulb with a white one.

Here's a picture with them on so you can see (blurry but gets the point):

I don't think a white turn signal is legal in my state. THey do have silver bulbs that burn amber but the ones I've seen were not very bright.

Iv got them, and they blend with the chrome housing and are not nearly as bright as the OEM amber bulbs.


On ebay for $10/pair ... HERE

The ones I installed are very bright, probably illegal but my friend have had it on their cars as well for years and nothing has been done about it legally. I don't think it's anything to worry about

i've never had a cop say anything about my white corner bulbs and the cops around here are assholes. I have been pulled over for not using my blinker when i actually did but i think it is kinda difficult to see the blinker at night against the hids

you are right. we have to have amber bulbs for blinkers, or have amber housings.

i run chrome amber bulbs in my cleared headlights.

In Texas turn signals in the front must be either amber or white, and rear must be amber or red.

I thought the front turn signal had to be amber or yellow. And the back had to be red, amber or yellow ? I might be wrong tho since i haven't read the DMV hand book for a while
