Post Question about Inspire Tails

Just letting you all know thatthe "Get2Net"in the airports really suck...Here I am, at 5 in the morning waiting fo my flight to depart(I had all of 2 hours of sleep at home)to Dallas....I finally installed my Inspire Tails last night...For the turn signals, I painted the bulbs Chevrolet Orange(engine paint-high heat) and they do look quite red, but pretty cool..Ohwell..My question is why the turn signal plugs don't fit into the inspire turn signal hole?The inspire cut out is a lot larger than the factory light cutout..what have all of you done to remedy this problem? yaaaawn I'm tired

I posted this a looong time ago. well, all you do is just ghetto rig it, use some tape. That's what i did.

Your paint will start chipping in a few weeks or months, it's inevitable even with high temp paint. You should have just gotten condoms for it.

You spent all that $$$ on Inspire Tails now get some Polarg super white bulbs for them!! Don't worry, it is highly unlikely that the police will pull you over. Do you want the American look or the Euro look?

Wassup Ed,
I'm not sure why they made it different but I just made a cut out of the socket plug using 3M double stick tape.

All this time I've been wondering too.

I just used some tape also. Yellow bulb, looks cool. Didn't like red bulbs, shined pink. Didn't like tickets either.

Think he just took in an old pic of his car and got it waived for 10 bucks. The office was real easy, guess the cop was just an ass.

I'm bringing this topic up from the dead huh? haha, i was doing a search for some light bulbs and this one came up so I thought I'd respond.
