I had my corners cleared at Gen 1 also. Dean does a good job and guarantees his work.

I have the hyperwhite Polarg M12's in my car, but they unfortunately turned my lamp housing slightly blue during the daytime. Not anymore.....

ElegantTL-S

Josh, How does it look when you turn them on?? let me know.....i wanna try that.

chrism7855

hey bebber.. if could snap a pic of what your lights look like.. i would be really interested in trying that out.

astro

I spoke with Dean today, I'll be having ACP deliver my new housings to him early next week

bebber

alas. The paint chipped off this morning when I turned the bulbs on. Hmm. I think I may go get a high temp paint and try it again. I don't think they make high-temp paint in chrome though, but silver is available. Maybe I should just buy the silver paint.

The bulbs looked gorgous in chrome paint! Aww, too bad it doesn't work.

bebber

Try again. I cleaned up the bulbs and sprayed high-temp silver (alas couldn't get chrome) paint.

ElegantTL-S

put it in Josh and take a pic of it when it's lit!! HEHE!

bebber

I waited two days for the paint to dry. Leave the blinkers on in the socket for a couple minutes before reinstalling them to let some of the paint dry and smoke off. It does not chip off with hightemp paint. Notice how I'm using an infrared thermometer to measure the temp in F.

bebber

You can't even see any of the bluish tint that's orginally on these bulbs.

bebber

Brightness only slightly decreased. Still looks brighter than the stock amber bulbs thanks to 35Watt Polargs.

chrism7855

hey bebber.. you think i can use those nasty amber ones. and just paint those?

chrism7855

i forgot who asked for close ups on mine.. but ill just post them.. so you all can see the difference.. and i will be painting mine very very soon.

chrism7855

the blue is really apparent in the first pic.. not so much in this one.

bebber

Sure, the stock amber ones are lower wattage and won't even get as hot as the Polarg M12's. Paint them with confidence, as long as you use high-temp paint. If your only real worry is law enforcement, cops don't care about front white blinkers.

chrism7855

Cops? what are those?

Laurelcrest

I absolutely love the look of the white lights all around, but what good are they as blinkers? Or do you just care that the back blinkers are useful?

ElegantTL-S

Hey Josh...is that pic with your parking lights on only? not when it blinks right? It appears to look more "whiter" then before...remember how before it looked kinda dull? When your not doing...call me up and come over and show it to me.

bebber

The pics are with my hazard lights on only. I snapped the photo when the light was on. True, that when the parking lights are on, the 5W filament produces a lower color temp. light which is not as "white" as the light produced by the 35W blinker filament. This doesn't bother me, but you're more than welcome to electrical tape or dab some elmer's on that contact on your bulb to shut off the 5W filament altogether. I'll keep 'em just as they are.

Ray, you can check out my lights when I get to check out your new 2002 type-S that I keep on hearing so much talk about. :p

ElegantTL-S

ugh!! go take a pic of only the parking lights on Josh! C'mon..you got the digi cam....the cars there..please..! i really want to see it.

haha....I'm getting it...i'm getting it! I just got to deal with my dumba$$ friend about buying my car.....it's truely annoying the sh!t out of me. So yeah..he said give him another damn week. So I'm out without a TL-S for another week...... *sigh* This is annoying...I'm getting tired of driving the Accord already...... :o

kimeh

what size or type is the really small bulb right below the turn signal bulb? its the bulb that goes behind the amber deflector and only turns on when our headlights are on

thanks

chrism7855

kimeh, aren't you just going to get it done? why worry about the bulbs? just go there and they'll have the bulbs.

kimeh

but i don't want the blue bulbs. do they have clear bulbs for that part of the corner light?

bebber

Ok whiner, :p

Headlights and parking lights on.

ElegantTL-S

hahaha Josh, shuddup!!! :p Wow....those lights are soooo dim now.... thanks for the pic.. hehe!

92legend

Where did you get that high heat silver paint? Thanks.

bebber

if you guys want ur headlights cleared the heatgun/taking out lens way, hit me up, i know a place down in rosemead that can do it with a guarantee also for moisture if there is any.

about 75-90 bucks and they'll do it.

Mr.T

Hmmm I got to hit this place up been wanting to get my corners cleared. So they provide the bulbs too. Hmmm getting excited already I hope they could do it on saturday heheh. I really need to get shoes for my car. I'm can't decide there are so many rims out there. Than I will feel complete. Wait I also need those cross drill rotors if I get my rims than I'll feel complete.

Hey Wsup guys, i just got my new TLS last sunday and i wanted to clear my front. Can u guys gimme the place, number and city that the place is in. i live in socal in SGV and i just wanted to see if theres anywhere thats close by that i can get it done. Thanks for the help.

KappaBoi

One more question, how do u change the back turn signal light, like steps on putting it in?

chrism7855

the place is called generation 1... loook it up on yellowpages in yahoo. wait... the info should be on the first page of this thread. the back signals...poc.... just unscrew....with your hands, the plastic screws inside your trunk.. and just turn the light bulb. its not hard. but remember, you have to file down one of the knobs on the buls to make it fit. you will see when you open it up. just compare the bulbs. the place you buy it at should do it for you.

sleepy

do they blink white too or did you only change the case? I want to change mine to clear corners too, don' t know where to go though
